		<description>I appreciate your heart to share your story. I have my own shared on His Love Covers Our Sins (my prolife/post abortive recovery) blog. Your heart is so tender here and while our situations, ages etc were very different we both experienced the pain and shame of aborting our children. I&#039;m thankful for the repentance, grace, forgiveness and healing that comes through Christ. I look forward to getting to know you. 
 
Blessings, 
Lisa </description>

		<description>I know this is an older post but because the subject  is important 
I think it was important to comment on it.  I am so sorry that you 
felt alone at a time when you really needed support. I think your story may help someone either decide not to get an abortion 
or atleast come to terms if they ,like me ,have made that same decision in the past thank you for your courage and May God keep you </description>

		<description>Dear Sarah: Thank you for your courage and creating this forum and giving us women an opportunity to come into fellowship and share our burdens of suffering. I too bought into the lie that abortion is a &quot;therapeutic choice&quot;.  
 
Twice I bought into this lie. Each time I was single, alone, and 
in a position where all the human relationships in my life were failing me. I was in a sea of darkness with no shores in sight. 
I was even wanting children but the fear of being a single parent 
prevailed. I was a coward, and I soon learned to despise myself-which only grew over the years. I felt disfigured and to me I had crossed a line and there was no going back to who I used to be.(pre abortion self) When I could no longer bear the grief, pain and anxiety I turned my heart to Christ. I walked through an unseen door of hope and hung on to the fact that he loved me and could wash away my sins.  I got involved in a prayer group and was praying for a husband for 8 months before I met the man I married. It took me to 30 yrs old to ever know what it was like to have someone love me. I believe my pareents love me in their own way but could not express it in words. I am now 45 and despite 14 years of marriage to a man also being redeemed we have not been able to have children. I even tried being a foster parent and my husband had a misdemeanor in his past and we were classifed as &quot;uncertifiable&quot;  Only the Lord knows how by his design the beauty of the desire he has put on my heart that it is possible to be a new creation in Him, and that children are a gift of the Lord. I do believe that because of Him I do feel an overwhelming desire to be a mum, and try to chose life consiously in all I do,hoping there is beauty for ashes. What do us women do who also hear the call to love and nurture, and mother,do,when it appears that we are the ones that now have exhausted all our known possibliites? The only thing I now do is to try to stay as close to God as I can,and hope for a miracle. Its funny,this is my first step out into the world with my story. I did not want to leave the shelter of His wings but stepped forward in the written word. Thank you for this healing and redeeming place. May the Lord 
love and shine here and we all know the joy of redemption and being able to shine bright for Him through our scars. </description>
