I felt the urge to share my experience on how to live pregnancy and childbirth in the present moment with mindfulness. In this book, all the tools will help you take care of yourself, create a powerful bond with your baby and lead you on the path to deliverance.

Hi, my book is about how I was tested by the enemy to see how far I can handle my situation. The enemy really wanted to know if I truly loved God and I was put to the test. It was not easy because I felt I was trapped in my mind and that nobody understood what I was going through. My mind was like in a dark place and couldn't find a way out. Every time I tried to do the things I'm supposed to do in order to overcome my thoughts, it was hard. But I knew God didn't leave me and I had to use my faith like never before. The enemy was trying to convince me that God did not love me and that I was alone. I sometimes felt that way but it's normal because this life is to be lived by faith and not what we see or feel. I talk about my experiences and thoughts I had but I also talk how I overcame all of them(with prayer, worship and using the word of Christ). Sometimes we wonder why things like these happen to our lives but it's to make us a better person and to realize that we are not the only ones that go through these situations. It doesn't matter how long it takes to be healed, just don't give up and always trust God even if you don't see or feel Him. I had to really trust God and put my part, to get up and not stay on the floor.
