Wait For The Lord

Psalm 27:14 “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!” Waiting…it’s like a bad word, right? We live in a culture in which we rarely have to wait these days.  Phones, internet, fast food…it’s all about more and faster.  Yet for all of time, the Lord has been asking us to […]

We Were Dead

 Ephesians 2:4-5 “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved” The redemptive story of the gopsel is found so beautifully written by God here in Ephesians 2. The chapter begins by first showing us who […]

For His Glory

Psalm 115:1 “Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!” This verse is very special to us here at Surrender Birth. It is the heartbeat of Surrender Birth to encourage, educate and equip couples to birth for God’s glory. We live in […]

Momentary Suffering

 Romans 8:18 “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” In our world, we would all agree that there is so much suffering around us. Maybe you have terrible morning sickness and it’s hard to see an end to […]

Giving Up Control: Theresa

The greatest fear arises in us when we place our trust in being control over a situation. We all do it. We all want to know how the story ends, what is going to happen. We want a say. In birth, especially, we have little control. We need to place more hope in our sovereign […]

Trusting God with Birth Place: Elisa

Elisa’s Testimony All of my pregnancies and births have been different.  However, the one that always stands out is Cooper’s, my second oldest.  I chose to have a home birth with him when we were living in Flagstaff, something I had once thought I would NEVER do. All through that pregnancy, it seemed that God […]

Your Ways are Not Our Ways: Amanda

Amanda’s Birth Testimony Dear Lord, I write this letter today, 17 days postpartum, after giving birth to Molly. Right away I feel the tears welling in my eyes, the pain in my throat, the flood of emotion as I come to terms yet again that her birth, as beautiful and amazing as it was, was […]

Trust

Trust: Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust. It’s an easy thing to do when things are going according to my plan. When birth unfolds just as we expect and life seems to go according to plan, it’s easy. I can trust then. It is easy for me to believe that He is good, and His plan is good. […]
