Hello

It’s been a while since I have blogged. I only blog when I am given something from God, and boy has he given me so much to blog about recently. Although my journey is not done, the things he has taught me thus far, I must share. So over the next several weeks, I will take you on a journey of all the lessons I have learned in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Fairfax Hospital

The journey began on March 4, 2016, when I delivered my handsome son named Jeremiah-Mark Smith. Jeremiah-Mark (JM) was born 10 weeks premature and was admitted to the NICU. This became the greatest challenge of my life, because I could not control the situation. It was all up to my baby boy. I immediately learned that this wasn’t a physical battle, but a spiritual one that placed me on my knees. I began to pray constantly and talk to God. Through my time with God and my son, I am not the same women as I was 32 days ago. God completely interrupted my life and planted so much in me. In the words of Oprah Winfrey, there are things that I now know for sure, and I plan to share with you as we go on our journey. What I know for sure is that God hears, and God speaks He is in control, prayer changes everything, and the battle isn’t physical. Each week I will go into depth on the topics above, and share my story. My prayer is that this journey is a blessing to you. I look forward to sharing my journey with you.

Still learning,

Felicia Smith
