In September 2022, I had my third baby, Evangeline. I’d had a healthy pregnancy and delivery, and so it was absolutely terrifying when 24 hours after birth, Evangeline began to seizure and stopped breathing. She went into septic shock and we spent an unexpected three weeks with her fighting for her life in the NICU, and seven weeks total in the hospital. It was brutal, and Jesus was with us.
Romans 15:13 became an anthem for me. Written on my heart, etched in my mind, rehearsed out loud every day. I decided that I would use hope to frame my interaction with my daughter. I used hope to tell myself her story. Used hope to walk through every fragile moment.
