I've spent quite a bit of time this past week reminiscing and looking at photos of my Birth Attendant School. I guess I didn't properly realize how much I loved it till I came home. Just like how we so often don't know how much we love and appreciate a person, our family, or our job, until they're no longer around.
During the school, I would take for granted the opportunity we were given to work in hospitals. That they have let us into their Labor rooms to work with the mamas and babies, and even let us openly pray for them. Each and every woman that we had the privilege of working with was a gem, and sometimes I couldn't even see it. That God would trust me enough to work with some of His most vulnerable children, it's a gift.
Today I'm thanking God for so many things, but here are a few.
- For the schools that went ahead of mine.
- The amazing staff and teachers, sharing so much wisdom (and working SO hard, even when no one sees)
- Little ones we get to witness entering our world
- All you amazing, lovely people who made our little baby hats (we call them Helmets of Salvation =D) thank you.
