Terrible and Painful

  I had abortion because first thing I was afraid of were my relatives.  What would they say or do after they found out that I was pregnant and not married?  Would they chase me out of the house, as they did to other cousins of mine when they were pregnant, when they were all still staying at home?  I also was not working then.

During the abortion procedure I experienced humiliation.  I felt scared and ashamed.
Immediately after the abortion I felt relief, then regret and guilt.

As time went on after the abortion I felt lonely and had relationship problems.  I felt like everything was ending, like no one want to be with me.  Whoever came into my life just came to mess up everything and I had to leave and go.  My life is full of ups and downs, like I keep going backward, not moving forward like other young women.

I ask God to forgive me, and I still plead for God is forgiveness.  I hope He will forgive me because life without Jesus is zero.  He is all that I am left with, I have no parents.  That is why I always say, “Lord let Your Mercy fall upon me and let Your Holy Spirit guide me.”

And from now on, I promise to myself, I will never have another abortion during my life.

As you read this, I pray to God to help you to never experience this in your life.  It is terrible and painful for the mind.
