Now Available: God Hears Her Audiobook!!

The thought came to me recently, while contemplating a number of upcoming decisions, how much I miss some of the simplicity of my younger years. There was a clearly defined structure to my days that didn’t require or even allow for many decisions. For much of my life, at least through college, school created the structure of my days. School followed a schedule, and a teacher told me what to study and what assignments to complete. The rest of my time was mine to use as I wanted. 
Of course, in a way that’s still true today. There are still things I simply need to do, and there’s still free time to use as I choose. But most things are more complicated than that.

When I was pregnant for the first time, I had a singular goal—to give birth without an epidural. I had learned about potential health benefits for mom and baby with unmedicated childbirth, but I’ll be honest, those weren’t the primary motivators to choose this method of birth. The truth is, I have control issues, and allowing anything to take away my power of command was inconceivable to me.
