heres the deal yo
i've been finding myself more and more interested in beomcing a midwife. it seems to me to be a good fit... lots of one on one interaction, personal, counselling involved, supportive role, and also MIRACLES! a baby being born... wow. beautiful. something that i am completely and utterly facinated with.
so no problem right? there it is.. my life plan. not so!
the only place for me to get this 4 year course is in ontario. yes. not manitoba. ontario. Even if i could find a way to AFFORD it, they only accept 30 THIRTY yes thirty people a year.
this is competative. yikes... and i'm Green! i haven't been to any births.
so i think to myself, maybe i can get some doula work under my belt. But that isn't just a hop skip and a jump... it takes training, and a car, flexible (very flexible) hours and time... what is a girl to do?
i've missed this year's application date for the program in ontario, but i can apply next year in february. so that gives me one year to build up something to present for the INTERVIEWS they make in order to see if they want to pick you from the masses applying to become a midwife. So if i applied i would need to travel out in april for them to decide if they really want me.
i also found out this week that the job i was PLANNING on having full-time work with can only offer me part-time work all summer... yes thats a surprise. i was planning on making some good money and now i only have about 2 days a week i'm working.
i need to find more work. or should i volunteer with birthing clinics? then how do i afford to move to ontario? but if i have no experience, i won't be moving to ontario anyways. And i don't want to work outside of town (that equals a car). so should i just pick up another part-time job? or should i quit the one i'm at and find a good full-time job somewhere else? and if i quit and looked somewhere else, should i move to the city?
OK okOK so God has a great plan. I am very GLAD. cause all my plans suck.
... so whats the plan?

i totally can see you being a midwife crystal....it's in you. and if it's in you then "u no who" put it there first.
i'll pray for you that things line up according to HIS plan.
TRUST IN THE LORD (not crystals plan) with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding...
IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM and He shall direct your paths....
Keep praying. The ideal seems to be a full-time, paying job that gives you experience of birt. So pray for that and see where you end up :)
Crystal, it's so cool that God's put that desire in your heart. I'm praying that HIS plan begins to be revealed to you so that you can take the next step! =)
Wow, this sounds like a really cool idea. What exactly is required of a mid-wife, like what are the day to day duties or are you just there for the birth process?
Hey Crystal...
a lady I used to babysit for here in town is a doula... she might be able to get in involved in some births, I can give her your number if you want to give me a call...
That's such an awesome dream, to be a midwife... :D bless you!!!
