Have you ever wondered what the birth of Jesus was actually like?
As a doula and student-midwife, I read the Christmas story differently.
I wonder about Mary’s body, her labor, her support, and her trust in God.
Here are a few questions that stayed with me as I wrote this reflection:
• What was it like to travel so late in pregnancy?
• Who supported Mary during her labor?
• Did she feel afraid or steady in her faith?
• Was her birth calm and straightforward, the way God designed birth to be?
• Who cared for her as she healed and became a mother?
This carousel shares short excerpts from an article I wrote for my church magazine.
It is a quiet reflection on obedience, courage, and the holiness of birth.
✨ If you value faith centered birth support, I would love to walk with you in your journey.
