Topic: Roar
GO!
We've got a stubborn little lady on our hands. She is comfy cozy and unwilling to come out. Drastic times call for drastic measures and today we take those measures with hope of quick result. Down the gullet with the castor oil. Gagging and giddy all at the same time. Clary sage rubbed generously on a bulging belly. We'll see how far this takes us. More herbs waiting in the wings to jumpstart this slow labor.
I've written and scribbled for years about birth and women and all that I think we are and can be. I'm no feminist. I take but one title from this world; sinner clinging to grace. I'm a Christ follower who believes that women are unique and created to reflect God's image uniquely. I am woman hear me roar. My roar doesn't sound like bra burning and macho brow beating. No, it is the roar of womanhood lived for the glory of God. The roar that I can hear across this land as women lay down there lives to love their families, husbands and communities well.
Today I lay down my life and roar out a baby girl. One who I hope will roar from the mountain
tops grace lived and womanhood embraced for the glory of God.
Roar with me.
