While dealing with the guilt of abortion, Luena Stoltenberg remembers hearing about a God who is quick to forgive.

It was like, wow, there is hope. Maybe he could love me through this. Maybe he could forgive me for this.

And so I received that because it was all I had. It was all I had. I mean, how does a woman deal with the fact that she killed her own child?

And today on Revive Our Hearts, I'm so thankful for a new friend, Luena Stoltenberg, who is joining us.

She lives in Iowa.

She's involved in the pro-life movement and in a ministry and an outreach called Operation Outcry,

and you'll hear more about her story.

But Luena, thank you so much for taking time here at a convention, a conference where we've

just met, and there's a lot going on, and it's a busy day, but you've taken time to come out

and share your story with our Revive Our Hearts listeners.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

It's my honor.

And I know that when we talk about regret, that's something
