Breaking down the walls of silence

My husband and I chose abortion when I was 25 years old.  We totally buried it deep within our souls for 32 years – telling NOBODY and NEVER discussing it amongst ourselves!   Attending a Rachel’s Vineyard weekend was one of the best things we could have ever done for our marriage.  After all this time, we were finally able to talk, share, and break down the walls of silence and honor and grieve for the baby we aborted.  God was with us through the entire weekend.  We will be forever grateful to this ministry and the team who dedicated so much time, love and compassion to our healing. We no longer carry around our shame, guilt and deceit–but only God’s unfailing love and forgiveness, as well as forgiveness of ourselves.   It was a beautiful, God-filled weekend allowing us to go forth with renewed hope…and…a ‘new heart and a new spirit’.   Don’t wait 32 years to begin your healing!
