3rd and 4th Day in TN

The 3rd day on our trip was fully packed of teachings. Which I didn't take any pictures that day to share with you. :( And what ever free time we had, was mostly spend outside, enjoying the nice weather!!

But on the 4th day, Friday, after bible study and a few sessions we toured a birthing center.

They had these all over, sticks in between glass on the doors and walls. I thought it was a neat idea.

We saw the birthing rooms (empty of course :) we found out about the basic process, all of which we had learned, but we were able to kinda put it in prospective when your there. We saw a suite room, where the mother and baby are transferred to after birth. And then best of all we got to see a few little ones in the nursery area. They were all so sweet!! Following the tour we had a few more sessions in between meals and resting.

Thats the story so far, with more to come!! ~ RebeccA.

Doula Course

"The Professional Labor Support Course (PLSC) equips women to come alongside expectant families and provide physical, emotional, and spiritual support throughout pregnancy, labor and birth, and postpartum adjustments." ~From the ATI website

This November I am going (with two others from Church) to Nashville TN, to attend a week long doula course!! Followed by a 10 month study from home. This course is to teach us how to become a doula, through a biblical worldview. I have been looking into this for a few years, and this year they are offering the course. Though I do not know where this knowledge that I will be gaining will take me, but what I do know is that there will always be a need for people who have the knowledge about babies and the processes that comes with having children. So stay tuned for more info.... or pictures from the trip, which ever comes first! :) ~Rebecca

Psalms 8

O Lord, our Lord, how majectic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouths of babies and infants, you hve established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the advenger. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man to be mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Yes you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You have given him dominon over the works of you hands; you have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the path of the sea. O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Psalms 1

Blessed in the man who walks not in the councel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the Lord and on his law he meditaes day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yeilds its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all he does, he prospers. This wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the Lord knows the was of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
