I have been blessed to be a part of many wonderful births and labors. Watching women labor and birth their babies makes me worship God for His miraculous work and appreciate the wonder it is to be a woman. The births of my own children were the best and most joyous days of my life, and I'm expecting our daughter's birth to be equally as extraordinary.
However, I have never been as floored by a woman in birth as I was when I saw the "Woman Sings While in Labor" video a few months ago. This woman, and her ability to praise our Creator during one of the most difficult times in a woman's life, is my inspiration. I am incredibly thankful she allowed herself to be filmed because she is an image of beauty, strength and peace.

I asked my husband a couple months ago how pain in childbirth was meant to be a curse yet there's so much beauty in it all. He responded so perfectly--it's just one example of God's grace.
how do you not believe in a gracious God after watching that?
Thank you for posting!

Your husband's explanation is profound. Even in the pain of the curse God's goodness is undeniable.
Thank you for your encouragement and following my blog!
