Becky Rosser lives with her parents in Sun Valley, Idaho.  She is a Charis midwifery student and is enjoying her journey to becoming a midwife.  She works as a nanny for two families as well as volunteers as a youth leader for a local youth group.  She loves spending time with her family and friends, hiking, riding motorcycles, hunting, reading, and dancing.

“What made you want to do that?” I get this question a lot when I tell someone I am studying to become a midwife.  Honestly, the only answer I have is that it was God. He orchestrated events and conversations in my life to spark my interest in midwifery and led me every step of the way to where I am now.

Ever since I can remember I have loved babies.  They are the most precious thing in the whole world.  My friends always say I have baby fever because I can’t help but notice and stare at every baby I see.  I have also had a strong passion for unborn babies as well.  Many times I contemplated becoming a pro-life activist.  Something about a tiny, helpless human having someone else choose whether or not they have the right to live infuriates me.  God says that children are a gift, a blessing, not a burden on parents and society.  It saddens my soul to see how far we have strayed from this Biblical truth and how greatly so many miss out on the perfect plan God has for them.  I long for people to experience the joy of little ones, and, more than that, to experience the joy of knowing God.

When I was about 12 years old I heard a missionary from Papua New Guinea speak of his experiences with missions.  I knew from that moment on that I wanted to go overseas and tell people about Jesus.  I didn’t know where or how, but something in my heart told me I was meant to go someday.

Along with a love for people, I have always been fascinated with the human body.  How God created it absolutely blows my mind.  The simple fact that God takes two people and, out of them, makes another perfect little human is incredible.  I can’t think of a better miracle for people to stand in awe of just how great God is.  I was almost sure that I wanted to be a midwife before I saw my first birth.  After, I knew there was nothing else I wanted to do.  To be a part of bringing new lives into this world sounds like the greatest honor I could imagine.

As I think of all the babies I will get to deliver one day I can’t help but think of how God will form each and every one of them.  He already has a purpose and a plan for their lives.  Looking back over my life I see how God formed me in my mother’s womb for this very purpose.  All those dreams, passions, and talents He has given me are to be able to usher people not only into this world but into His kingdom.  I know He has made me for this very calling, and feel so privileged that He has chosen me.
