Mud Stories is a podcast dedicated to bringing you inspiration in your muddiest moments, hope to make it through your mud, and encouragement for you to know, you are not alone.
In today’s episode I’m talking with Kayla Aimee, who resides in Georgia with her husband and daughter, and loves to write about faith, and her favorite things (like DIY projects, home renovation, and travel).
After a struggle with years of infertility and miscarriage, Kayla’s baby girl was born prematurely at 25 weeks and she spent the next six months in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) caring for her daughter. It was an unexpected tragedy with many obstacles, and yet against all odds, her daughter Scarlette not only survived, but is now four years old and thriving.
Kayla’s book, Anchored: Finding Hope in the Unexpected
In this episode Kayla shares about:
- How she delivered her baby at 25 weeks of pregnancy
- How she felt like a failure in so many ways
- And the much of the mud she faced through her daughter’s NICU stay and beyond
Kayla discusses:
- The difficulty of an unexpected tragedy
- The aloneness, powerlessness, and lack of hope she experienced
- How she learned in hindsight that God is faithful and is who He says He is
- How community during suffering brings hope and healing
- And how gratitude and remembering what God has already done can help us through suffering

SCRIPTURE:
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?”
Matthew 6:25-27 (ESV)
