Healing After Abortion | Stories From Our Past

- čas přidán 31. 10. 2021
- Hi my friends, in this video we are sharing with you both of our experiences with abortion and our journey to healing, forgiveness, and freedom. We discovered when we met that we both had a similar past and we believe that the Lord wanted to use our stories to help other people heal, receive forgiveness, and forgive themselves. We also want to bring awareness to the reality that life starts at the moment of conception and we pray this video can help save at least one unborn baby.
We are going to keep the comment section open but we ask for this to be a respectful place because of the sensitivity of the topic - all hateful or inappropriate comments will be removed.
We understand there are so many reasons why people think abortion is the only option, but there are so many organizations who are willing to help and offer support and we encourage anyone seeking to consider these options.

I was in a similar situation. On the 6 of September 2019, I was 27 years old A month away from being 28, and I had just found out that I was pregnant. I have a 4-year-old daughter at the time. I was a single parent as well. And I lost it because I was being extremely careful to not get pregnant, and all I was thinking about was having an abortion. And one night after being home from work I was watching this movie on showbox named Unplanned, and just watching that movie prevented me from having an abortion. My daughter just turned 2 years old on the 17th of this month, and I can't imagine life without her. Her laugh her smile the way she smells the way she feels I love her more and more each day. Her name is Kehlani Naomi. Her biological father is not in her life, but she does have a daddy. I got married 2 weeks after her first birthday.
I am 36 years from South Africa a single parent of 2 boys age 6 and 4. I 've had 6 abortion from age 25 until 34. Three of those abortions with the father of my children and the other three with two different men. I was raped by my cousin at the age of 9 more than 6 times. I am not married, I have resentment and anger issues. I've asked God for forgiveness and repented from my sin. I leaved a sinful life for so many years...meaningless and life without purpose.
I found out I was 4 months pregnant when I was 22 years old & I was set on getting an abortion. (This was before I had a relationship with Jesus). I called Planned Parenthood as soon as I could, to schedule my abortion appointment and they had no problem setting up my appointment and even explained the entire abortion procedure (very graphically) over the phone. I was told the procedure would consist of “crushing the skull of the baby first and then removing all the body parts out piece by piece.” I’ll never forget, that very same week, I was in my car, driving, desperately wanting answers on if I was making the right decision. At that moment, I decided I did NOT want to go through with the abortion. I didn’t know Jesus at the time, but I trusted the voice I heard & never went to my abortion appointment & I decided to give birth to my daughter. As a single parent, I didn’t know how I was going to be able to raise her on my own, but by the grace of God - HE HAS ALWAYS PROVIDED FOR ME & MY DAUGHTER. 🙌🏼❤️ Now 6 years later, being saved & born again, I can see God’s hand/protection was on me all along. I didn’t deserve His mercy but He met me where I was & forgave me for my sins. I know He has a plan for me and He has a plan for my daughter 🙏🏼 I understood my life of sexual sin led me to becoming pregnant outside of marriage & that there are always consequences to our sins, but I also understood that my daughter was NOT the SIN. She was an innocent life that had nothing to do with the choices I made living in sexual immorality, outside of God's will. She was a result of MY sinful decisions but she, herself, was a BLESSING! I understand motherhood is a high calling & I’m so thankful God has entrusted me to be her mother & to steward over His daughter, raising her in the ways of the Lord. There are times the enemy still tries to condemn me with shame & guilt, but I am reminded there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. I have repented and the Lord has renewed & restored me from all sexual immorality & set me FREE. 🙌🏼 His grace is sufficient & His love never fails. ✝️🤍✨ “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9) THANK YOU JESUS! 🙏🏼
I’m 22 and waiting for marriage. Prior to watching this I wasn’t acquainted to this subject. I’m so grateful you shared this. It literally made me tear up thinking about those little angels that never made it to earth alive. I have mad respect for all the mothers now, especially young/teenage moms 🙌 Appreciate the transparency you guys! 🥺 May God continue to bless you both ❤️
I just love how you both have calm personalities
I am struggling to forgive myself for the abortion i had 14 years ago.
When alot of women do have a baby, if they had an abortion, they are very protective of their children. I'm sure that's because they know what it is to lose a child.
God please grant me the bravery and courage that it took to be this vulnerable and live in truth 🙏🏾
Your husband's story brought me to tears. That's very, very deep, him seeing his daughter not even knowing the woman was pregnant. Your story was heartfelt as well and I'm glad you both have healed. This video was very healing 💞
Can't stop the tears, this was beautiful...I went through it Abt 20yrs ago and it was not until a year ago that I forgave myself. Shame and guilt does keep you living in the past. That letter to your daughter is just adorable and so touching. Tks for sharing.
30 years after abortion I had severe depression and realised it was because of abortions. I had to go for ministry.
I think it's interesting that the name "Zara" means "blooming flower" and "God remembers."
Sarah your story sounds exactly like mine - I thought I had healed from my experience and repented but this video had me in tears almost straight away, especially hearing the dream and the letter🥺 I thank God I came across this video💖
I wish I had my baby here with me too. Thank you for this video
Wow. I’ve had two abortions. One when I was 20 and when at 34. I give myself grace for being young, but 14 years later! Smh it’s been hard to forgive myself. God continues to remind me of what I’ve done, through synchronicities and a specific number. The pain is literally unbearable at times. I feel like people need to know
I see The Holy Spirit all over you both...just...wow! 😭
Sending all the love to those who got an abortion 😞❤️
Thank you, for your vulnerability, your transparency and for allowing Jesus and His love to shine through you. You're both so brave and courageous for sharing these testimonies and they truly will help so many more people in the body and the world heal, and will save millions of babies as you've declared. Much love, and I pray God's grace, favor and love will abound all the more for you guys and that He will open more doors and new doors where you can share your story to set others free.
Wow, thank you both SO much 😭. I was avoiding coming to Christ for the last 4 years because I didn't want to face what I had done at 20....of course at the time I felt tremendous relief, and for years after I felt no regret or guilt. None. And then, at about 25, I started to feel pulled to get closer to God, but I resisted so hard because even though I couldn't articulate it at the time, I knew I'd have to repent for certain things, one being abortion. I guess I wasn't ready to face what I had done at that time. I'm 29 now and closer with God than ever before, and to feel that grace and mercy that I am so undeserving of feels so incredible and peaceful. God is a good God. Thank you both so much for sharing.
Very touching 💖 God Bless You both
