One Year as a Midwife – A Reflection
Today marks one full year since I stepped into this sacred calling as a midwife, and my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude.
So much has changed in these twelve months. I have grown in ways I never expected , in skill, in strength, in faith. I’ve witnessed the raw beauty of life entering the world, held space for families in moments of great joy and deep vulnerability, and felt the weight of holy responsibility in every birth I’ve attended.
To serve families in this way has truly been one of the greatest privileges of my life. Each mother, each baby, each birth story has left a mark on my heart. It’s more than a job ,it is my ministry. A daily reminder of how present God is in the miracle of life. Through long nights, tender prayers, and tearful moments of both triumph and trial, I’ve seen His hand at work time and again.
Midwifery has taught me to lean on the Lord more than ever. Like in everything i do. In the quiet, sacred moments of labor; in the stillness of waiting; in the joy of a first cry, also in the silence of no cry, He is there. And in this work, I continue to find Him.
Thank you to every family who has allowed me to walk this journey with you. It has been a joy and a profound honor. Here’s to continuing this ministry with open hands and a willing heart — ready to serve, to love, and to follow wherever God leads.
With love and deep gratitude your midwife,
