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

Felicia-
Beautiful post. I am so happy for you, Mark and your wonderful Mr. Jeremiah-Mark. You are correct – God has created the situation of JM’s birth to let you know that he is control but he has his arms around you and his angels are always with you. Listen carefully, learn much and share!!!!
Much love,
Aunt Mag
