20181125 Welcome Brianna Elise!

 In the bible it says,...

Psalm 127:3-5 New International Version (NIV)

3 Children are a heritage from the Lord,
    offspring a reward from him.
4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior

    are children born in one’s youth.

It was drizzling and  & the sky was grey but inspire of the weather, I looked forward to Brianna’s baptism & excited that this tiny four months old baby is now going to be a Christian. What a wonderful thing that myy 2 daughters are her God parents.

I can't help but reminisce the birth of Bri's mother, my God Child. It was twenty two years ago when I was in the the hospital waiting for her to be born. I was privileged to be the first one to see her. The nurse from the operating room brought Bri's mom out for the family see. She was so fair and beautiful even as a baby. I can’t believe ‘that my God Child is now a full grown woman with her very own baby Brianna.Indeed every child is a blessing to the Lord!

What a wonderful circle of life! Many of us realise that It is only when we become mothers ourselves that we fully understand the sacrifices, the pain & the joys of motherhood. Parenting is a serious matter. It defines the child & makes her who she is. We need to raise them in the fear & in the knowledge of God because it gives them their identity & the security they would need when they grow up as individuals.

Welcome to our Christian world!

20181116 The Gate Theory

One of the topics we learned in the Burth Class was the Gate Theory. I think it’s a very interesting theory & makes me think if it was one of the reasons why I’m able to stand the stress & pain if my 5 labor’s.

This theory came into being in the early1960’s. It works by blocking the transmission of painful sensations from the bottom of the spinal colon, called the the “gate”,  by switching it “off” so it does not reach the nervous system on to the brain. The stimulants are massage pressure touch etc. .. That is why a labor partner/coach is very important to have. The best person would be your Husband because he is a person you can be relaxed with. Relaxation plays a very important factor in the Gate Theory.
