So If you are like me...you probably have no idea what a Doula is.
Well it is something quite beautiful. And as to not butcher the definition I am gonna steal from Wikipedia:
dou·la-(noun)- a woman who is trained to assist another woman during childbirth and who may provide support to the family after the baby is born.
During a break of shooting some headshot and promotional photos for these ladies' website, my dear friend Nina shared with me how throughout history...tracing back to Jesus's day there was always a woman there to assist in childbirth.
Her heart poured out as she described how it it so intricate to God's design to have someone there to support and love a new mother and her child.
In spending the afternoon with these ladies and families this much is clear: their work and their spirits pour out Jesus's love and care for newborns and their mothers.
So grateful that this work has allowed me to be a part of such beautiful things for the Kingdom of God.
