Jesus Will Meet You Where You Are

Sometimes you hear the cliche response for the answer to your problem. “Worship the Lord, cast your cares on Him and He’ll make the burden feel lighter.” Well, that’s true, but it’s not always going to motivate you or actually help you get from A to B in your hard place, especially if you don’t understand what that means. When you come to Him in honesty and let it be hard, Jesus will meet you where you are, and then, He will start to comfort you. That’s what the process looks like. People haven’t always known how to communicate that or teach that, or even accomplish that in their own lives, but you can. Sometimes people get confused and think they need to deny their problems or their hurts and worship through it. But there’s a better way.   We are not a people in denial. Jesus wasn’t in denial about His trials, but He took His own hurts to the Father. We are a people of power and self-control, sacrifice and love. Jesus said no one takes My life from Me, but I lay it down. We don’t worship through denial – we worship through hardship. It’s a choice…

The Birth of Eden

I have so much to say. Birth is such a gift. Like actual childbirth, is a gift. I knew this was true before I ever gave birth, but after Jonah’s birth, I experienced that it was true. I literally felt the presence of Jesus and had a revelation of childbirth as a praise offering to the God of all creation. I’ve experienced the presence of God many times in my life in different ways, but I’ve never felt such an extravagant worship offering as the labor of birth. Your body, your whole being, is creating, forming and birthing life through the power of Life Himself. When you think of it in that respect, no wonder birth gets a bad wrap. No wonder so many women experience trauma, pain, suffering and the curse of childbirth. I’m not going to get too deep in theology here, but I don’t believe that childbirth was ever supposed to be a curse of pain for women. It was intended to be a labor for women, just as men were to labor for food on the ground. Labor is simply work. But even beyond that, Jesus took the curse of it all in his labor of…

The Birth of Jonah

Introduction First, I have to ask myself: why am I sharing my natural birth story? I’m sharing my birth story because after the research I did, the current condition of our culture, and the experience I had, I thought it was necessary. Necessary first, for myself on a personal level. I will always be able to reflect on each detail, and if and when I prepare for birth again, I’ll have encouragement for myself from experience. Also, necessary for others on a personal level. So many women experience childbirth. The question is how? Under what circumstances? Not just emotionally, but also physically. In the past, there was only one way to physically birth a baby. The way women were designed, naturally and vaginally. Today, there are many variations on the how. Medications, inductions, c-sections, etc. Thank heavens for the advancements of science and the time and place to use them. But that’s not what I want to spend my time writing about in my natural birth story. Women need to know that birth is normal. Our bodies were made for this. In fact, it doesn’t have to be painful. Yeah, it can be painful, but it doesn’t have to be….
