“In June of 1982 I found out 1 was pregnant. I was 18 years old and two months away from college. My boyfriend was a backslidden Christian like me and we chose abortion because we didn't want to face our family and friends. We took the “easy” way out. After my abortion I faced mental heartaches, shed many tears, and regretted the whole decision. To this day I still get on my knees and cry - asking the Lord for His loving forgiveness because I know I was so wrong! I struggle a lot, wondering if God will ever give me a second chance. He is such a loving God and I believe with all my heart that He is God, and yet I always carry a conscience full of guilt. I feel like God has abandoned me and I get so discouraged because of the nightmare of my past. Does God forgive me? I believe He does, yet I feel this sin was just too great.”
