Typically, I am a late sleeper. I never like to wake before the sky is filled with light. But I have a new responsibility that requires me to get up at 6AM on Fridays. It fills me with anxiety. In the black silence I repeat to myself that my heart belongs to God and my feet now travel to do His will. I tell me that I must live in the truth of the present and not in the horror of the past.
Eleven years ago I arose before the sun that I might travel 4 hours away and kill my child in a second trimester abortion. God washed me clean of that yet darkness' tattoo is upon me.
Like my child hopelessly lost to abortion, I will never escape.
