"Many years ago I made the regrettable decision to have an abortion. The guilt and shame overwhelmed me. I couldn't forgive myself, so how could I ask God to forgive me? A friend suggested that I attend a Rachel's Vineyard weekend. I didn't want to. Would they make me talk about it? Would they judge me?
What I experienced was a warm, accepting atmosphere with caring people who showed me how to heal. Was it easy? NO. But they started me on a journey that has brought me healing and even joy which I had thought I didn't deserve. I am a different person now. Before the retreat I thought I had it all under control. I didn't realize how much it was still affecting me after all those years. After the retreat I felt as if this huge weight had been lifted off of me." –Past Retreatant
