Visions Of The Holy In Ordinary Lives
By LaNette J. McQuitty and related by John Sumwalt.
As a birth doula, I often find myself praying for my clients long before their labor begins. This particular time, for some reason, my prayers seemed to be much more intense. I prayed all week for a miracle birth, but you never know how God will interpret your prayers.
Labor for this mom, a first timer who wanted to go "all natural," began on October 23, 1999, at 6:30 a.m. She said she had things to do and she would page me when the contractions picked up.
