I have set my Childbirth Education requirements/planning on the back-burner for the time being and taken sidetrack that is on the same theme. As I mentioned in the last post, I have been in training to become a client advocate at our local crisis pregnancy center. My work as a volunteer there will be hugely rewarding as I will be able to work one on one with Mama's who have chosen life for their babies and want to learn how to have a safe and healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby, and then how to be a healthy parent. This position will allow me to not only be a part of a FANTASTIC ministry, but also to use my knowledge and experience in helping even more women experience the joys of pregnancy, childbirth and beyond.
I should be finishing up my "shadowing" of other advocates in the next few weeks - a month, and then I will be shadowed for one appointment and then I will be off and running on my own with the clients the Lord will send into my life. I am excited, scared and feeling completely inadequate in this, but I know the Lord has placed me here for a reason.
I am really looking forward to moving on with my Childbirth Ed as soon as I find my feet at Foothill Pregnancy Center!
