46. (Part Two) What 25 Days in the NICU Taught Us About Faith, Control & God's Provision

Send us Fan MailIn this episode I'm continuing Isaac's birth story — and this time, my husband Brian is joining me to share what those 25 days in the NICU were really like from both of our perspectives. From the moment Isaac was taken away minutes after birth, to the feeding battles, the emotional exhaustion of leaving him each day, and finally bringing him home — this is the full story of what God did in and through one of the hardest seasons of our lives.Having a premature baby at 33 weeks was never part of our plan. But what unfolded in that NICU — the lessons in surrender, the provision we witnessed daily, and the unexpected ways God met us both in our fear — became one of the most profound faith experiences of our family's story. This episode is raw, honest, and deeply personal, including the moment I found the Abraham and Isaac parallel that changed everything about how I understood what it meant to lay my son at the altar and trust God to provide.Whether you're currently in a NICU season, recovering from a premature birth, navigating the early postpartum fog, or simply needing a reminder that God does not waste a single hard moment — this episode is full of hope and truth for wherever you are.In this episode, we share:👶 What the first moments in the NICU were really like — and how Brian processed the fear and grief of not being able to hold his son🙏 The "I will provide" moment that became our anchor Scripture through the entire NICU stay🍼 The feeding journey — from feeding tubes and around-the-clock pumping to the breakthrough of exclusive breastfeeding🏠 How we balanced daily NICU visits with two kids at home and what that did to us as a couple✝️ The sweetness God brought in the hardest moments — and what we'd tell any NICU family walking this roadScripture Shared: "So Abraham called the name of that place, 'The Lord will provide'; as it is said to this day, 'On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.'" — Genesis 22:14 (ESV)Mentioned in this episode:✨ Christian Mama Birth Prep Library - Free birth prep tools, worship playlists & more💕 Work with Me 1:1 – Virtual Doula Support & Schedule a Private Coaching Call✝️ Online Christian Childbirth Education - Explore my complete birth preparation self-paced course🎴 NEW Christian Birth Affirmation Cards: You can now purchase them hereIf this episode encouraged you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend.Let's keep choosing faith over fear, one birth story at a time.
