Life-Giving Words of Hope & Encouragement

This chapter of our story is titled “The NICU”—not just a place, but a season that tested our faith, stretched our hope, and ultimately revealed the unfailing love of God. It tells the journey we walked as our precious daughter fought for life in the neonatal intensive care unit, and how, in the midst of monitors, sleepless nights, and tearful prayers, God met us in the most unexpected ways.

The pages that follow capture not just the pain of that season, but the powerful presence of a God who never left our side. In the quiet corners of the Ronald McDonald House, through strangers who became family, and in the stillness between medical updates—we encountered miracles. We found strength we didn’t know we had, grace we didn’t think we deserved, and a peace that truly passed all understanding.

As you read these entries, my deepest prayer is that they serve as a reminder to you: You are never alone. Whatever valley you’re walking through, whatever fear is gripping your heart, know this—our God is near. He is faithful in every trial, present in every tear, and His love for you has no limit and no expiration date.

The NICU was a chapter we never expected to write, but in it, God penned one of the most beautiful testimonies of our lives. May these words offer you hope, healing, and the deep assurance that He is still writing yours.
