A witness to the pain of abortion on Jill Stanek's blog…if you feel called to encourage this woman , you may want to post something inviting her in to healing..we have all been there.
praying for her:
“The shame is unbearable”
I received this email today. May it help others, as the dear author hopes…
As I’ve read your tweets and your blog, I silently repeat, “Thank you God for this woman’s courage.”
Only one person knows my entire story and that is my current husband. I confessed to him a few years ago when I felt the Holy Spirit rising up inside me to let someone know. I had to tell someone I could trust. With abortion, it’s hard to know who you can trust. The shame is unbearable.
During a particular church service, our pastor had us take a small rock at the beginning of service and during the service he explained the rock was representative of our sin and to imagine carrying that rock everywhere we went, never letting it go. When he encouraged us to bring the rock to the stage and letting go of our sin, I put my rock in my purse. Afterward, when my husband asked why I did that, I explained I had to hold on to it to remember what I had done. I put the rock in our garden. That rock, to me, represented the abortions I had. Yes, plural. Abortions. 3.
