Join me for a more personal episode, sharing the story of how my little boy came into the world. I went in with high hopes of having an unmedicated VBAC and ended up in my second c-section, following 40 hours of laboring and 53 hours without sleep. Things did not go as planned, to say the least.
Though this birth story is not what I expected to be sharing with you, God was so present amidst the wild ride of labor and delivery. I am prayerful that this story of surrender is encouraging to you, no matter what circumstances you may be facing in your life right now.
