Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

Self Control: Sometimes we find we are ruled by our emotions. Emotions are neither good or bad, it is how we chose to express them that may be sinful. I cannot control how I feel but I can control how I behave because of my emotions. Has this changed for me since beginning healing? How?

Before my healing I was ruled by my emotions. I bounced in and out of crisis because I did not trust myself or anyone else. Oftentimes, I would sabotage anything good I was doing because I would get overly upset at the slightest things because my fears from my abortion abortion experience would surface and my abortion "connectors" would often throw me over the edge.

I still can have the same tendency and weaknesses when things happen. I imagine I always will. But now I pray before I act..I examine what is going on for me emotionally and I act on what is truth instead of  my emotions. I look to God for guidance and trust that where He leads me is good and right. He has not let me down.
