I Dream of teaching childbirth classes in church and secular settings...

I dream of a world where pregnant and birthing women, their families, and their babies are treated gently and with respect. A world where the culture of birth is not one of fear. One where there is a sense of awe and trust in God's incredible design. I see a clear spiritual battle going on in the realm of childbirth and I want to speak up for what I believe deep in my heart to be truth. I have joined the board for a Canadian advocacy group, I write for the group's blog, and I am working toward certification as a Christian Childbirth Educator. I dream of teaching childbirth classes in church and secular settings, and I dream of teaching girls Christ-centred maidenhood classes. I want girls to enter womanhood knowing just how fearfully and wonderfully their female bodies are made! How strong and powerful and well-designed they are- not cursed and broken as our culture so often tells them.
