Laura Gonzalez explains that only Jesus can free you from your past sins.

We are not more of a sinner because we had an abortion, but we can feel guilty because of our sins.

The only way to deal with your guilt is to run to Christ.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Waldorf, co-author of You Can Trust God

to Write Your Story.

For January 20, 2020, I'm Dana Gresh.

Yesterday, we began hearing the story of Laura and Fausto Gonzalez.

As a young wife, Laura wanted to have kids.

But Fausto was digging in his heels, not wanting to be a dad.

Today, we'll continue hearing how Fausto and Laura learn to embrace and value life.

And Nancy will talk to us about what it means to encourage life. We affirm that human life is precious to God and is to be valued and protected from the point of conception until rightful death.

We'll hear more from Nancy later, but first, let's review some of what we heard yesterday from Fausto and Laura.

We just knew that there was a God. We married in February in 1987 and we went to live in Florida.

Fausto was not into children.

I didn't have a good relationship with my father because he would say, I don't like children

in front of us. He would say, take him away. I also thought I would never be a good parent. So I knew, well, at some point, she's going to say,

Okay, it's time to try to have our first child.

It happened. It happened. She finally got pregnant. And I remember when Sarah was born, and when you find yourself playing the bar, you see that you didn't go to rehearsals.

No one showed you. So you're just there sitting, saying things pass you by one day, one week, one year, three years, and hoping she'll grow up and then,

okay, it's over. It would be good to have another child and I kept talking to Fost about it.

I didn't want that. And about two weeks after we went to Orlando, I get chickenpox.
