The story of a single mother’s change of heart on abortion has blown up on Facebook and other social media.
Kimberly Henderson, 26, posted her story on Facebook and found over half a million likes and shares in just two days.
“Two years ago today I was sitting in an abortion clinic thinking not having Vaida was best for me,” Henderson wrote with reference to her two-year-old daughter. “Well this date is forever burned in my brain. … I think that is God’s way of showing me that HIS plan is and will always be greater and bigger than anything and everything I’ve ever known.”
Henderson, who gained national TV exposure during the qualifying rounds of American Idol, shared how an overwhelming sense of regret came on her as she prepared to abort her child.
“The lady called me to the desk. Last step before you go back. I fumbled through my wallet to find my drivers license and out fell a card a couple left on the table Saturday night when I was working,” She wrote. “It had their church name on it.. On the back was a common verse…’Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” Isaiah 41:10.’ I knew God was speaking to me.”
“Pouring tears I walked out and felt a huge weight off my shoulders. No matter what your circumstances are God doesn’t make mistakes and he is here for you,” she said.
