Within these pages you will find samples of the work submitted during my doctoral program. Part of it has been research on postpartum stress in preparation for dissertation. It has become my heart’s desire to create that page as a resource of valuable information on the research literature for families of women in distress, for women seeking to proactively learn and be their own advocates, and perhaps even those who may already be struggling with keeping their heads above water. Due to the importance of faith in my journey, in addition to research presented, these pages also have my considerations presented from a Scriptural worldview. It is my prayer this information will bless those who read it.
Although not apparent by its most common name of postpartum depression, for women who endure the most difficult of symptoms, depression begins during pregnancy (Kleiman, 2017). For others, it may have come on so suddenly that it is difficult to contain the overwhelming feelings and pretend that all is fine, when all is absolutely not fine. These women need to be heard, understood, validated, and guided to appropriate resources. She needs to experience love and acceptance as she grapples with the loss of the previous notion of control that she was accustomed to. Check out the postpartum depression page so that in learning, you can come alongside women who are too often hurting in the shadows too afraid to speak up.
Throughout these pages you might encounter the Names Yahuah and Yahusha. Yahuah is the pronunciation I have been led to based on the understanding I have been given through careful study of the evidence centered around the Name of The Father as revealed in Exodus 3:15. “And Elohim said further to Mosheh, “Thus you are to say to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘יהוה Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Aḇraham, the Elohim of Yitsḥaq, and the Elohim of Ya‛aqoḇ, has sent me to you. This is My Name forever, and this is My remembrance to all generations.’” Similarly, Yahusha is the pronunciation of the Name of the Son as shown in Matthew 1:25. “And he called His Name יהושע.” The Set-Apart Spirit that flows through them is expressed in Hebrew as well as Ruach Ha’Qodesh. Scripture verses are quotes from The Scriptures or The Cepher.
