NICU Week 1 - Nathan Maverick

They say it only takes a little faith to move a mountain. 🎶 

We’re only 10 days into our NICU journey and the one thing I can say is LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY JESUS.  ❤️

If I was put into this situation 4 years ago I would have been a WRECK. I’m talking an absolute mess. I wouldn’t have been able to handle it in any capacity. God knew what he was doing when I started my healing journey. God knew what he was doing pushing me to my rock bottom. God knew I needed to rebuild myself from the ground up fully relying on him to fulfill the plans he had for me. 

The one thing I’ve stood by since they told me I was 7cm and in active labor, at 28 weeks, is that God is in control. There was nothing I could do to change my situation. No amount of worrying was going to do anyone any good. I was having our baby 12 weeks early and there’s nothing anyone could do but pray. 

And booooy have I prayed. 

Nathan still has at least 6 weeks left in the NICU but my prayers will stay the same as they have been. 

“Lord, let your will be done”. 

Trust me, my selfish human heart has cried and prayed for healing, good reports, steady progress, no setbacks, a healthy baby boy, the list goes on. But at the end of the day, I know Gods plan is greater than my own. I can look back at the past few years and see now why I had to go through some of the valleys I’ve been through. Some of the “faith shaking hard times”. There’s been highs and there’s been lows. But I can look at my sweet boy and see Gods hand in it all.

Every. Step. Of. The. Way. 

Even when things feel heavy and out of control, trust that God knows what he’s doing and will hold your hand through it all. 

"In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind". Job 12:10

I am so beyond grateful that God chose me to be Nathan Maverick’s momma. ❤️
