Great post!!

Very profound statement.

"... may have known you were going to have an abortion before you were even born on this Earth. God knew it too, but wants you to learn from it..."

Personally, I feel a twinge whenever I read or hear the scripture about God knowing me before I was formed in my mother's womb, because it strikes at the heart of my abortions. Why did I not know or feel this when I had my abortions? Why was I blocking out this sentiment? How could I have been so.... whatever?

Even though I prayed for years for God to forgive me, and I knew logically that He did, I did not feel it. And for whatever reason I had difficulty forgiving myself (OCD personality? depressive biochemistry? neuroses? intergenerational guilt syndrome?) Therapy at the Crisis Pregnancy Center helped me so much, although there is and probably always will be a residual of pain.

Recently I have come to the conclusion that since God knows everything, he knew that I would choose to abort two of my children before I was ever born, but he decided to let me be born and live anyway. He still has a purpose for my life. And although there were too many years of pain, he is now in the process of restoring the years that the locusts have eaten.

He is an awesome God!!
