Excerpts

Page 18 - A New Mother's Journey
I started my maternity leave during the eighth month of my pregnancy and used the time to reflect on my life’s journey. I performed a self evaluation and took an inventory of my life and thought about my Christianity. Had I really been living a life that exemplified the Christ that I professed? Because I knew in my heart the answer was no, I began seeking God’s approval and asking Him to purge my sins of self-righteousness and pride and my issues with forgiveness and humility. I had so many hidden hurts of the heart that caused me to be less than God wanted me to be, and my life was not totally pleasing to Him because of the concealed ill-feeling in my heart. The truth of the matter is that I was a broken vessel that was not totally fit for the Master’s use. The malice, anger, and bitterness that I harbored in my heart were literally suffocating the will of God for my life.

Sometimes I watched my husband and my parents cry, a sight that broke my heart. As I began to see the impact my postpartum depression was taking on my life and my family, I began to ask God more fervently for his healing and deliverance. I realized that when we are at our lowest points, Satan will attempt to knock us out and try to totally defeat us. I had become a powerless individual who was being overtaken by the forces of Satan. Thank God for His word in 2 Corinthians 12:9, stating that His strength is made perfect in our weakness. Paul says that he would rather glory in his infirmities that the power of Christ might rest upon him. Even though I was at one of the lowest points I had ever experienced, I still had “mustard seed” faith to recognize the power of Christ. With minimal belief, mustard seed faith has the ability to grow on its own once it has been planted in the mind and heart.

I have learned God sometimes uses mechanisms to imprison us as believers. When we become imprisoned by such a mechanism, we lose our right to choose and become forced to sit quietly and to hear the voice of God. Recognition of our captors gives us an opportunity to look back at our life’s decisions and their consequences that may have caused us to get to this point. In our carnal minds, we may become frustrated and stray away from God. In our spiritual minds, we seek God’s purpose and promise.
