Grady Jeremiah Smith came into the world early according to our timetables on November 7, 2010. He was born in the second trimester at just 26 weeks, approximately 3 months premature, and weighing only 1 pound 15 ounces.
His story is one of the unexpected, and of trying days, but also of God's kindness to us as we learned to trust more in the Lord. We have watched the miracle of a tiny baby developing into a healthy boy and young man.
Watch his journey as we get a glimpse into the Lord knitting together a precious life in what normally takes place in a hidden place from our eyes. Below are blog posts we did from each step of this amazing journey.
