Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

when I speak about doing things in Gods time in our healing, not ours, it applies to me too.

One aspect of my own abortion I never really dealt with was the father of my aborted son Joshua.

Recently one of my sisters had asked me if we ever spoke with a follow up of," maybe it is time".
Hmmm. To be honest I never even really thought about him much and here it was over 30 years later. Did it even matter? It s not like we had a major relationship or anything. But in my heart I knew it did matter because I consented to an abortion that took the life of his child too. I only had to think of the men we serve to know that…

So, I found and contacted him. He responded, and it has been good. We were both a mess in those days..peer pressure, the 60's all that crazy stuff. His life, like mine has changed completely and he is doing well. Praise God.

It was good to tell him about the work and how our son has impacted so many in this world to healing.

I think if this had happened years ago it may not have turned out so well…for whatever reason, we probably were not ready, but God in His wisdom prompted it to happen now and I trust He is working in His way.

So, when I go down the list of my people "connectors" I have pretty much checked them all off now…amends are made…peace is there, and as always I am so grateful to God who is Mercy!

Off to  beautiful Camp St Joseph for the weekend so no posts until Monday!

Have a good weekend!
