Have you even heard of a crash c-section?? Ansley Gordon hadn’t. But at her 37 week appointment she was told she would need to have one performed on her on the spot, in order to save her daughter’s life. What she didn’t realize until later was how much God was in every detail, from the moment she got to her OB appointment that day, to the miraculous way her daughter defied the odds in the days after birth. God is all over this story!
Ansley also reflects on being a new mom living in Los Angeles during the horrendous fires in January of 2025, which left their home uninhabitable due to smoke damage. She and her husband rebuilt their lives while simultaneously learning how to be parents for the first time. She shares so much that she learned from that experience, and encourages moms to lean into deeper surrender and to trust that God always has a better plan than the one we have in mind. He is for you and He is for your family❤️
