After starting this career, I’ve grown personally, emotionally, and spiritually more than I was expecting. There have been many high highs being a doula, but also some lows too. There have been births that don’t go according to plan, babies that need extra support, and unexpected hardships. It’s been really stretching to have a such lack of control in any of these situations or have an inability to make it better.
I am learning that Jesus is in control of every detail. He is our sustainer, the Giver of Peace, the one who restores our soul, the one who gives us not a spirit of fear but of power, love, & a sound-mind. The one who protects and gives us breath in our lungs. The one who has a plan and a purpose for our life. The one who gives us courage in really hard moments.
Out of these gifts the Lord shows us, I am learning how to respond in situations I can’t control. I am reminding myself daily that what I can do is show up, love, remain in a spirit of thankfulness, shine the light of Jesus, and have community around me that encourages me. 💛
