Vivian’s Journey to Healing

“I was 14 years old when I ran away, not knowing I was pregnant. The lady I was living with said “Oh, Vivian. You are too young to have a child. I am going to take you to a clinic. Don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt. They are going to put you to sleep.”

She made it seem like it was nothing. I didn’t understand why I was so angry and so depressed. But when I started going to church, everything started changing. My depression went away, my anxiousness went away.

Recently, my daughter-in-law invited me to First Care. I learned that if you’ve had an abortion and you want to be a part of the clinic, you’ve got to take the Surrendering the Secret class. I talked to God saying “Why am I in this class? You forgave me. You delivered me. It been 50 years.”

But by the fourth class, something snapped. That’s when God gave me the revelation that I was molested by my step-mother. I had hidden it so deep because it was the worst thing in my life.

For the following 4 weeks, it was the best thing in my life when I took those classes. Even though I have been walking with Jesus for 30-something years, this simple class brought it all to the light. It rooted out whatever was holding in my emotions.

I thought I was coming in to serve, but I came to realize that I got delivered.”

Becky Surrenders Her Secret

“I had an abortion at age 19.  I had actually just broken up with my boyfriend and my mom was telling me that she wasn’t going to help me. I went into Planned Parenthood, and they were saying, it’s just tissue, it’s not really a baby. I tried to see the baby, but she had turned the screen around the other way. The next thing I know I’m waking back up and it’s already been done. I kept just imagining getting up off the table and running. It was too late. 

A lot of Christians don’t realize, when you are sitting in the pew, all of the people around you that could possibly be one of those who have had an abortion. You don’t know their story. 

I had forgiven every person around me, but I had never forgiven myself. The people of First Care Women’s Clinic are all so wonderful, and it’s not like they want anything in return, it’s literally because they know what you’ve gone through.

You can shut all of the enemy’s doors with the help of the clinic and most importantly, with God. Allow Him to shut those doors. Allow Him to heal your heart.”
