What's up Phil, welcome back to the WoW That's Good Podcast. Happy Wednesday everybody! I'm so excited for this podcast. We are about to name drop! This is something that I feel like everyone's been waiting for for a while. I know and actually we've act we played it like super low key this time because last pregnancy with honey I would like tease what her name's gonna be you know in a Mess story. You did choose it. Yeah, I teased it a lot. I gave hints on stuff which created this like crazy

um, I guess like hunt for people to figure out what her name was and it was crazy I mean there were so many tiktoks that were going viral about like what her name could be based off clues that I gave Based off like looks that we gave each other it was actually really funny. Why don't we do that this time? Because I don't have Instagram right now It's true, but I could do it. Well, you could have done it, but it's too late now we're doing the podcast But actually we're filming this before it goes out. So technically, there is still time. And actually, one reason I didn't want to do that again

is because I was kind of annoyed because someone did find out the name because they were hunting so hard for it and then put it on TikTok. And then that's how her name got released. And I was sad that we didn't get to share her name first because her name had so much meaning and it was just like you know it was more than just I mean honey is amazing it stands for itself but I wanted to like

express the meaning and I wanted to wait until she was born so this time I was like I'm not gonna say anything we're to play it cool but of course so many people have asked what is baby number two's name? And we are two months out from delivery. And so we thought, you know what, this is a good time to name drop. But before we name drop, we had to tell you a bit of the backstory. But I think we should wait till like the very end.

Yeah, you get away to the end. I think you're about to drop it, I was gonna say, then people are just gonna disturb, listening. No, no, no, you gotta listen to the end because this whole byguys is gonna be fun. And you will not believe, I can't even believe all that God has shown us like through this name, which is really cool because when you look at the

Bible, like names mean so much and they are so significant and there's so many messages where you'll be studying a person's life and then it's like you find out the meaning of their name and it makes the whole story even that much more intentional because you start to realize like literally who they were called to be like by name has so much to do with what God led them into. Not saying that's for everybody if you have a terrible name you know or your name doesn't mean something significant or special that's something that God's not so intentional with your story but there is something powerful behind being intentional about what you name your child and what you're speaking

over them. That's like with honey, one of the things that we wanted to speak over her, that she would be sweet and strong, just like honey. Honey is a sweet element, it's like a dessert, but it's also has the power to heal. They use that as medicine back in the old days and still today, if you look up home remedies for your throat hurting, what is it going to say? Drink something with honey, tea with honey. Um, so honey is so powerful, it's so strong, but it's also so sweet. So when we speak her name over her, we're like, you're sweet and you're strong. We pray that over her. And so we wanted something that special for the next baby. But that was

hard to think of another name because it's like following up honey was a little bit intimidating because honey was just so unique and sweet and all the things. Honey James is so her and who she is. And so I knew I wanted like the Lord to give us the name. So it happened very casually. It was like May of last year. It actually went back and looked and it was like May 22nd or something. And we were on a plane. And I don't even know why we weren't pregnant yet.

We weren't even trying to get pregnant yet. And I was just like, God, you know, honey's name is so sweet. And I just, she's so, like that is just so who she is. I just feel like God, you know, honey's name is so sweet and I just she so Like that is just so who she does I just feel like you gave us the perfect name for her and I was like, you know What are other kids to have that significant other name that we put that much intention behind what the name Was gonna be and we prayed about it. We felt like this is the name that you know

You have for our child because you because it talks about in the scripture like God knit, God knit us together in our mother's womb. So God knew us before he formed us. So he already knows our child. So what name do you have for her? And so I started praying on a plane one day and I was like looking out of the clouds and I just remember like so specifically, it's just like the name just dropped to my spirit. It was first name and

a middle name. I loved it Christian and I was like what do they want the same? I was probably watching Avengers or a movie or something. For the 900 time. Just side note Christian literally watches the Avengers every single way in ride. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I don't know how you do that. But, yeah, he was not really paying attention to him, but I was like, this is so beautiful. And so can I tell them now what they're doing? No, no, you can't. Cause I literally just had this cool thought. So you did not, you didn't have not teased on social media, right? What if we teased throughout the podcast? Her name starts with the letter H.

Okay, it does start with the letter H. It starts with the letter H and it ends with the letter N. Okay, so let's just kinda just have some fun. I think her just letting the drag go out. I want the drag it out. Yeah, it starts with the agent N, so then N. So can you guess what it is? Drop it down in the comments below. We'll give you 10 seconds. I'm gonna have to say it because I can't

keep going with the story unless I say it. Yeah, that's true. There's nothing else to say in listening to the name. Okay, but just give like two more hints before before you drop it. Okay, it starts with an agent ends with an end and actually whenever we were naming honey honey, whenever I said that honey seems to be with the age, a lot of people guessed this name for honey, which is where I got introduced to the name. Yes, and a lot of people thought we were naming honey this.

I was like, and her middle name starts with the letter B and ends with an E. And it is significant to us because of somebody related to close kin. Close kin. So ponder that for just a second. If you guessed the first or last name before I say this,

you're gonna prize of knowing that you did it because we don't know what else we can do. And you probably actually already will guess it because those were two pretty good hints. Those were two good hints. Those were two good hints. So now I'm gonna say the the name that drops my spirit. Whenever I was literally on this plane,

I'm saying to God, you know, I hope that our next kid has a name that's that significant. That's that, it's so perfect for them and who they are. And then I didn't even say boy or girl, which is kind of praying. And I felt like the Lord dropped in my spirit, the name Haven Bell, which was so beautiful because Haven, which means safe place or refuge,

and then Bell means beautiful. I thought it was just such a beautiful name because it means like a beautiful safe place. Haven Bell, and I asked Christian if he lied to him. He said, I really do like that. And not as a double name, we'd call her, her name, her haven, call her haven, but the middle name being Belle is significant

because I have a sister named Bella. She is my girl and this is Honey's first sister. And so it's kind of like a nod to my sister Bella being Belle and also just meaning beautiful, this beautiful, safe place. We just loved it. So we kind of fell in love with the name immediately

and then fast forward to, when we find out we were pregnant, September? September. September, we found out we were pregnant, we were so excited and, you know, we're a boy or girl and I guess you always thought we were gonna have a girl. I did, yeah. I kind of thought we were gonna have a boy,

which is funny, because you're wearing blue and I'm wearing pink today. Yeah, I was grish. I was like, I don't know. I was actually just surprised that we even had a girl first, anyways, because you come from a family of, you have a brother and then your dad has brothers, your mom has two brothers, and then John Lake was the first in our family and Rebecca and Mary Kate both had boys and so honey surprised me just being the first girl is like oh my gosh it's so fun and so I really thought you know the next one's gonna be a boy so you know but something in me I guess kind of new because

I was not surprised whenever we did our little gender real party and it busted out peak yeah and immediately we both were like, haven't yes, but we didn't tell people for a little while because we were still kind of like thinking about it. So some of you know, Christian and I are building a new house right now, which has been so much fun and we are in the process of picking out. We actually just stopped picking out all the tile and all the wood and the brick and all the different things and now we're kind of heading on to more of the fun stuff like the artwork and the furniture and one thing

I'm so excited about is just my new bed and fresh bedding who doesn't love sleeping on clean sheets and comfy sheets. It's such a great feeling and just makes you feel like you're in a nice hotel room which is why my new house will definitely be stocked with Miracle-made sheets. They are legitimately my favorite sheets. I am obsessed with them. They're so cooling so they're designed to keep you at the perfect temperature on it long. Miracle-made sheets are made using silver and fused fabrics originally designed by NASA.

So you know this is pretty legit. They are also self-cleaning which means less poor clogging bacteria and breakouts, plus no one likes the idea of sleeping on a bed full of bacteria. Okay, yuck, disgusting. So self-cleaning sheets have made it so much easier for us, less laundry to do, since miracle-made sheets stay fresh three times longer

than any of their sheets. And I know all of you would be so happy to do less laundry. I love Miracle Made Sheets because they're super comfy, they're super soft. Like I said, they're self-cleaning. I didn't realize how much it really mattered that I liked my sheets until I had great ones. I used to think I don't really care. Now that I have those, I do care. It seems like sheets this good should cost an arm and a leg, but Miracle Made Sheets are super reasonably priced, especially compared to other luxury brands out there.

Yeah, everything got completely locked in. This was probably in December. I guess it was December and on Instagram, there was this trend going around. I guess it was December and on Instagram there was this trend going around and it was like posted picture The first day that you met the first day you wanted a day the day you got engaged the day you got married And it was one of those like collage things and So I posted my picture didn't think anything of it I just like posted the only other picture me in Christian Which sidebar the funny thing is too when you were doing this I was actually at the movies So both significant name, you know

What was in the post of the collage I was at the movie and then when the Lord put in the spirit on the plane I was also watching a movie. Oh my gosh I'm saying like that's I don't know what's to do. It's something about it. Maybe it was like let's just hey I like it. What it what it just like for God and all things so I was saying like that's I don't know what's to do. It's something about it. Maybe it was like let's just hey I like it. What it what it just like for God and all things so I was like um I posted picture didn't think anything about it and someone one of my friends who knew we were named or hey Then was like wait and I was like oh my gosh. No way. So this is crazy. I like call Christiano He's at the movie. I cannot wait for him to get home. I'm freaking out because

So back up to when we named Honey Honey. Well, one of those significant things about naming our honey was on our first date that we went on, Christian came to Nashville, we were hanging out and we were walking past this pottery place and I was like, let's go to pottery and it was so spontaneous and random. So we got to pottery and Christian paints a little purple mug

with a brown cross on it And then I painted a blue mug and all I wrote on the mug was honey like in big yellow letters Mm-hmm and the reason I wrote honey was because we had been reading proverbs together and we had just read the verse Gracious words are like honey combs sweet to the soul and healing to the bones and at toe Christian through text We've been all flirting and I'm like you are the boy with the soul and healing to the bones. And it's whole Christian through text, we've been all flirty. And I'm like, you are the boy with the honey words. Like, this is our way of flirting. You are so sweet.

I wasn't really afraid, but I was just like, you have honey words. Like, you're so sweet. Like, you're words is sweet. And they're so healing from things that I walked through in the past. And so that day, like, I put a little honey pot emoji beside his name of a phone. So we were like on our first date. And before pottery wound up wound up

in a place called Tuberlani. Yeah, that was not planned at all. That was so random. So anyways, I drew honey on this mug and then never thought about it again. Didn't think about naming a kid honey. Didn't even think of that as name at all. Until we were trying to think of like all this name

for our daughter and then we thought about my great grandma and what can we do? That's a nod to her and she calls every one of the family honey. It's kind of like a thing I was like oh that would be sweet and so anyways, whatever we decided to name honey honey We were like man. I wish we still had that mug that would be crazy if we had that mug Well three days before the gender reveal party my dad comes walking out drinking coffee from the honey mug and I was like, oh my gosh. We are gonna have a girl,

and we're gonna have her honey. So, the first picture me and Christian took on our, well like one of the only pictures we took the first day on our date was a picture of us with our mugs, so let me go back and check out this. It's just so funny, because we would have had to have asked the lady. We did ask the lady

Which is so weird for us honestly, we were just so in love we were we didn't care It is our first days. We weren't really in love. We were in like in fact We'd have by each other. Yes. I can't go and find this picture. You all this is so crazy Okay, so me and Christian asked this lady to take this picture of us, which is just so funny that we did this So I'm holding the mug that says honey So, me and Christian asked this lady to take this picture of us, which is just so funny that we did this. So, I'm holding the mug that says, honey. So we've always been like, that's so cool, we have that picture

and it's just such a cool thing that God did. Okay, so when I go to post this picture, I'm like the first day you met, first day that you had, the first, whatever. I post the very next picture, literally, if I slide, to the right. It's the next picture me my encryption took on this day of our first day and the only other picture

my encryption took this whole day of our first day together. And we're standing on a street with right in the back of us in big letters on a banner, it says Haven. Y'all. You can't make this stuff. No, I was freaking out I never and and by the way when we saw this when we discovered this we had already chosen the name Haven

I'm pregnant with the girl we chose in a heaven god gave me the name haven't back in May This is like a month after we are in December and honey and haven you know how like you make like mini me Yeah, I have a list on my phone called mini me and I always like put baby names in there honey and haven't you know how like you make like mini me? Yeah, I have a list on my phone call mini me and I always like put baby names in there Honey and haven't we're both not on our baby name list. We never we never talked about honey your haven Honey came like so from God I was like just like dropped their spirit like oh honey such a sweet name and then Haven it was like I'm on a point. I'm like God. What should we name our next good? And it was at Haven Bell and I was like,

I love that, it's so sweet, a beautiful safe place. Then I find out I'm pregnant, find out I have a girl, we lock in the name Haven, and then two months later, discovered that the only two pictures that we took on our first date, we have in the picture, honey and haven. What? I mean, that every time I tell a story,

I'm like, that is the crazy thing ever. I talk about God, like truly knowing you before he forms, he truly knit you together and it's just so cool as a mom that I got to almost like partner with God on naming our child what like her name was meant to be. And I just love that back on our very first date before I knew Christian was the one, before he knew I was the one before we knew anything about our story.

God knew that we would have two daughters one day and their names would be honey and haven. And one day four years later we would discover that the whole time as we're you know going along and trying to do the best we can do to follow the will of God that he had this epic plan of giving us two girls with these two sweet names was such significant meaning. I mean I'm shook. It's crazy. It's crazy.

It's crazy. And we had a disclaimer, maybe, instead of a disclaimer, those are actually are only two photos. So people that are like, what's the next, was there another photo with another name? Oh yeah.

And sadly, that is it. So. Those were, So if you're thinking right now, like, what else could there be? It had to be somewhere else because that is it. Well, those are only two pictures we took and like and it's not even that it's like Settle in the picture. It's literally the mug says honey and a banner behind us says haven and the weird thing about us taking that picture on the street that day Is we weren't even shopping at that store. We were literally at Amagur de Alla de My Friend's

Sarah's store, and then we went to walk down for me for a Christian to take a picture of me in Bella. No, it was you, Bella, Rebecca and your mom, and I took a photo of y'all underneath this, there was like a like sign, like it was like a cute little. I painted it on the wall, take y'all's picture there for some reason,

we did not take a picture there. Yeah, for some reason we kept walking Let's go take a picture somewhere else But it wasn't even like we saw the sign and we just it was like this on the street Bella was like let me get a picture of y'all because she's been a good sister to me and knew I want a picture on our like first date And you know you don't want to ask and So Bella took this picture and we'd never thought about the fact that it said hey, but mine We didn't even know it said him behind us because if you're not

looking for that, you don't really notice it. Y'all know I love talking about Jesus. I love sharing the Bible. I love sharing scripture of people because I know that it brings life to people brings hope to people. It brings love to people. And so that's why I can't stop talking about it. And that is why I'm pumped to tell you all about one of our partners, crew, crew as missionaries in nearly every country in the world. And they're seeing Jesus make a difference in the lives of people everywhere. But lots of people don't have access to the Bible. And that's

the reality that we're facing. Some of them aren't even allowed to have one. They can't just go to a bookstore like we can or have a Bible ship to their door and just imagine without a be like to never be able to read the word of God or actually go to the Bible just to help you get through a day. I mean, I honestly can't imagine. I've been so grateful to have my Bible for so long. You know, I definitely want us to help where we can and we actually can help. So for only $25 a month, you can provide three Bible to people who need them each and every month. And when you do, crew will get meals to 15 hungry people through their humanitarian aid

And also when you sign up to provide three Bioblets with your $25 a month gift, you're going to receive a copy of my devotional book Live on Purpose. This is a thank you. Live on Purpose is a daily devotional book actually helping you walk out and freedom the purpose that God has for your life.

And the funny thing is the store the person is from this is in the person that

owns that store in Nashville is actually from russian Which is like 20 minutes from where we live, which is just so weird Which is also and that store is not even open anymore. They moved to Nashville and renamed it Which I actually if this person's listening to those who owns haven't I do want that banner if you are out there And you don't need that banner anymore I'm gonna put that in her room, But it was just like the craziest thing. And again, like not every story is gonna be like that. Like my mom doesn't have that story with me. My mom just liked the name Sadie and looked at the meeting and it was princess. And

she was like, that's cool, you know. And typically names are just like that, you know. You just think of a name and you just name your child that and that's fine, that's beautiful and no matter what the story is so intentional that you have a baby growing inside of you that is gonna come out into the world that has a whole personality and a purpose and a plan for their life that God has knit together and just form beautifully and wonderfully with no falls and then like that in and of itself is miraculous. So you don't need a crazy story. But I do love like, I love stuff like that. I love intentional things like that. I love meanings and all of some names like I would actually maybe like the name, but if I didn't like the meaning, I'd be like, nevermind, you know, or like, I just really care about that. And so what I think is cool is that in meaning, I'd be like, never mind. You know, or like, I just really care about that. And so what I think is cool is that in May, I truly was like, God, like, I really want to name this baby

Like what you have in mind for her. And I want it to be just as significant as honey's name and just as intentional because you did so much and like The process of naming honey that I don't want one day when I'm telling the story of honey's name and then the next baby I don't have any like intention behind what I named her him. I was like, God, like I just I want to be with you on that and so I just think it's so cool that that day like Haven of all names popped in my heart because like I said, I had never been on a baby name list for me. I didn't even care to do like two H's. I had so many other names that I had been thinking about

and liked and when I felt that it just felt like not even that that was like an option or suggestion. I feel like that's what it was. It was like her name is Haven Bell and it's she is like going to be a beautiful safe place like almost like she's going to be a good friend to people like a refuge that people can trust and and it just felt like it was like just so clear and so that's why I think it's so cool because I prayed that and then seven months later discover that God had been planning on her name being Haven since the first date me and Christian went on and God had been planning on her name being Honey since a minute we read Proverbs 16 24 is it and texted each other and I'll put a honey pot emoji by your name and I just think that's so cool because you know if

you just like Christian said earlier, I was in the movie and you're watching a movie, like what's cool about it is if you choose to see God and everything, you will see him and everything because he is in the details. It's like, what does it say? Like, all of creation, like, what is the, what's the verse, but all of creation kind of like points

to that there's a God. Yeah, I know what you're talking about, but. But I think like even was the, was the verse, but all of creation kind of like points to that there's a God. Yeah. I know what you're talking about, but I think like even in that, it's like basically saying, if you look around, everything is pointing to the existence of God, right? And I think that was one of those moments for Christian eye that we were like, whoa, like as if we didn't already know you were intentional. Yeah.

Well, even with things like that, if you're like, you know, a lot of it's just about perspective. Like you could like that and be like, oh my gosh, that's a weird coincidence. You know, or you could think there's some bigger story to being like, no, I think that's intentional. You know, like that was actually designed and orchestrated.

It wasn't just, you know, by chance or coincidence that that happened and we happened to get a picture at that spot and then did the pottery on the same day. Like, you know, saying a lot of people be like, oh, it's just a weird coincidence. But for us, you know, we believe that that was actually intentional and thought out and planned by God. Yeah. We believe that, you know, before the beginning of Earth, like God had us in mind, like by God was thinking about us and designing us with intention and purpose and a plan

and everything just is for a reason. And I think that living life would know and like you have that kind of purpose and that kind of love behind you just makes life so much better. And so even for you listening, like I hope that this story about Honey and Avery Day makes you as a person just feel like wildly loved

and just that you have such a plan and that God thought about you so much further in time. And then even your parents thought of you. And some of you might have felt like you're a mistake. You know, you might have felt like, oh, well, my parents didn't even try to have me or my parents had me out of, you know, a bad situation. Maybe it was a dull tree or out of wedlock or whatever,

but it doesn't matter before they even thought about you, God thought about you and decided that you had a place in this time in history that was worth, you know, him creating you and giving you all that you have in you to send you out for this time. And so don't miss that, you know. I just, to me, discovering that gave me a whole new idea of like how much God actually thinks of us. You know, and like, that's just, that's just crazy. Cause I'm like, God, you don't even have to think of us that much.

You're God, but you do, cause you're a good father, you know, it's just crazy. Yeah. And we just encourage you all like, because there really is so much intention that what God does, like be around, and not even specifically about baby names, but just look around at your surroundings and see what God could be speaking to you if you just take the time to look at your surroundings or take time to be intentional about things that are around you. Because God is wanting to speak to you in other ways other than just maybe through reading or worship or prayer, like say to

say through creation, through little things that might seem like coincidences, but it might actually be God trying to get your attention through things. And back to what Christian said, you can see it as just random chance, you can see it as God. I think one of the reasons that I know is God is because I asked God that. That was a conversation we had. So it was very personal to me. Like when I saw Haven behind us on the sign, I was like, God, you gave me that name. I would have never named her Haven unless you told me to name her Haven in May.

And if I didn't ask God that, we would have named her something totally different and that would have been fine. It would have been beautiful. But that Haven sign behind us would have named for something totally different and that would have been fine. It would have been beautiful. But that haven't signed behind us would have not meant anything, you know? But like I wanted to partner with God on what he had in mind and I heard what he had in mind and then God showed me an affirm to me like, hey, look, like I've actually had

this in mind for a long time. And so I think sometimes like you can miss out on the God things because you don't ask God what He wants or ask God like, what are you doing in this or ask God to show you a reveal to you you know what his plan is in this whole thing and again it's not always going to be as obvious as a banner behind you in the sky. Most things in our life are not that obvious. We are not walking around having a million stories like this. That's what this story is so significant you know. You know if you're asking for a sign from God a lot of times,

he's not gonna give you a sign. I mean, even in the New Testament, Jesus got so frustrated with people asking for signs. So I'm not saying, ask God for signs. I'm just saying, ask God to do life with you. God, I wanna do life with you. I wanna see my job today as an opportunity to see you in it. You know, I want to see this baby name as an opportunity to partner with you on creating this baby inside of

me. You know, I want to see this relationship as partnering with you and what you have for my future marriage, you know. And so when you do life like that, then you get to see God and all your relationships and all the things that you do. And it's just really, really powerful when you do life like that, then you get to see God and all your relationships and all the things that you do. And it's just really, really powerful when you see what he ends up doing. But this pregnancy has been awesome. It's been totally different than my one with honey. It's been the same in the sickness wise. I was so sick this pregnancy.

Yeah. I don't, I mean, yeah, it was a while ago, but you were also super sick with honey though. I know, but with honey, I threw up every day from week seven to week 24, which was bad. But it was mainly like in the morning and afternoon, then I found relief in the evening. But this one, I threw up every day from week six to 17 or 18. And then it was kind of like every other day

till maybe a week 20, but it was like never really. Like even like, I would be like laying a bed have to go through up. That was like crazy. But I feel like just throughout this pregnancy, I've just been so much more chill than I was in my first pregnancy. And I was in the sense of like,

with honey I was like reading everything and trying to know everything and like, I just wanted to like know what to expect and what my plan was going to be for birth and what my plan was going to be for postpartum, what my plan was going to be for this and with this one, I guess just because I've grown like confidence in knowing that God's going to do what God's plan is, I haven't been so stressed out of all of my plan is, and I've said this with Honey's birth so much, and I really fully understood this one. I'm like, with Honey's birth,

I was such an over-prepared. I planned so much. Which is so funny, because you're not like that. Is that you? I'm such an over-prepared. But yeah, but you're a prepare, but you're not necessarily like a planner.

I'm not a planner, but I over-prepared for everything. You prepare, but you're not like a necessarily like a planner I'm not a planner, but I over prepare for everything You prepare, but you're not like a so hard for everything I do But I wouldn't say you're like a disciplined planner. No, but I would say I'm a super disciplined Prepare and study or no truly. You are I read everything and listen to everything before I speak or before I do a podcast before I whatever and that is one thing you get annoyed by because I get so panicked by not being prepared and all this stuff.

So maybe preparing and planning is a little bit different. But for preparation, I was like so over, like prepared in the sense that I had watched every video on a natural birth and every different thing on what this means and that means and whatever and So this is so many times that every single thing I plan for did not happen But everything I prayed for did and you know, I've kind of taken that lesson with me into even parenting to be like you know what Like I can plan all day long

I can prepare as much as possible and there is a beauty to preparation But at the end of the day like God I actually just want what you have for me And so birth plan this time no plan no plan stress God no plan stress God With wisdom with wisdom talking my doctor whatever my doctor thinks is wise. Yeah, but I'm not stressing about like Am I gonna do it natural? Am I gonna have it everywhere? Am I gonna have a C-section? Well, my doctor thinks his wife's from a body.

Well, we feel peace about it, right? We're gonna do. And I don't even know you go read every single thing about a C-section, I read every single thing about this, because you know what? At the end of the day, like, honestly, that just makes me feel more afraid. And I would rather just walk in with peace

knowing that like, and you have no idea what's gonna happen. This intentional with the name of my child. God has been this intentional, with the pregnancy that I've had, then God will be just as intentional with the way that she comes into the world. You do have one prep plan though. What? You're one, I'm going to, I want you to think about it. There is one thing that you are pretty certain about Then I'm getting in a girl. No, and getting induced. Yeah, I will get induced which I That's controversial so we out there gonna be like don't get induced But after honey's plan you were dead said I'm not getting induced which led to

Potentially being a dangerous situation for the both of you. So what happened with honey? Obviously like you guys know, we got in a dangerous situation because it was 41 weeks pregnant. Honey was really big. And birthing honey, she was nine pounds, five ounces. She got stuck, it was horrible. Shorter discosias, what it's called.

They had to get her out a really hard way. She didn't breathe for two minutes and ten seconds. It was very traumatic for everyone involved But the amazing thing about the whole story is I was like dead set on having a natural birth I was like I will wait until this baby comes but my doctor had been saying yeah Christians laughing because I would listen to Wade on you by M out of city every day and be like, I will wait on you God, I will wait on you. And I kept thinking I was like, I was like, I really like, obviously the song is incredible, right? And but I was like, is she maybe looking into this little too much because, you know, there comes a point where maybe something is to happen.

Yeah. Well, Christian was like, I think you need to get induced. My doctor was telling me to get induced and was like, no, there's no reason. I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait. Well, finally, at 41 weeks, my doctor was like, you know, your body is not moving. You know, you haven't dilated, you're not faced. Like, you need to get induced probably. Which is sad and funny because you had done almost everything. I had done literally everything I

could possibly. They're crawling in the house like bouncing on them. Membrame sweeps. Yeah everything. Everything. And nothing was happening. So then I was like okay I'll get induced. Well it was such a God thing I got induced and had the epidural because if I wouldn't have gotten induced and had the epidural, then literally it would have been a very, very dangerous situation for me and the baby. And could have just been like the worst outcome for me and baby. So praise God, my plan to not go through, praise God, I prayed for them, we'd have a healthy baby, now I would be healthy, it did happen.

And so with this time, the plan is to be induced. And, you know, we have it, we have a day, where I'm gonna say when that is, but we have a day that I'll be induced. And that's so important, sure, but that's the plan. But when I say, like, I don't have a plan, I'm saying, I'm not tied to it in the sense of like, I'm gonna be so stubborn.

And like, it has to be the same. It has to be the same. It has to look like this because ultimately, like, sometimes we don't know what's best for us. Like, your doctor does. You know, or obviously the Holy Spirit does. And your husband, your people who are watching you, who are around you.

So that's been cool. But I think like one thing that's really cool about this whole story, even just talking about the name of her and what I'm planning on doing for birth and everything is that, you know, when you begin to really see that God really does have a plan for your life and he has a plan for good for your life. And that doesn't, everything is good. We still had a hard labor. We still have hard things happen to us. We walked through it hard.

Your last year was some just really hard things. God is still good. And when you realize that God's plan is good, and it's intentional when you have moments and glimpses of it, like the name drops and the first two pictures. And only two pictures we took on our first date that it helps you to surrender your plan to him. It helps you to say you know what I'm actually human and your god like I saw I saw this from this view you're seeing it from heavens

view and if you've ever you know gone on a airplane and you look down it's a completely different view than you have on the ground right like you're seeing as a completely different view than you have on the ground right like you're seeing it all you're seeing the whole picture of the city you're seeing the roads how they how they are you're seeing the way the rivers run like you see the whole plan and so heaven's perspective is so different than our perspective so to be able to say God actually I would rather heaven's perspective than mine just as um the heavens are higher than they are. So are your ways and your thoughts for me Lord. That that's what I actually want to be a part of. And so I'm just partnering with God on that.

I mean, I'm partnering with God on name. I'm partnering with God on the plan. And I just found that it is a much better way to live your life partner with God and surrender to what he has for you. And at the end of the day, it's not. It doesn't really necessarily make it, you know it easier in a sense because it still records faith and trust, which like we can say, we don't have a plan, but it's still hard to not want to take things under your control and in your own hands and maybe not rely on him for those

things because we're humans and we doubt and all those different things. So I think even just having the faith and the trust to believe that, you know, it's even still difficult. Oh, for sure. For sure. I mean, anything that requires faith is going to be hard because, you know, it means that something's unknown and so much of what makes us human, like we want to know everything, we don't want to control everything, but the thing that makes God God is that He is in control of everything. And what makes us really in the right place as a human is to humble ourselves before him

and say, I'll give up my control, I'll give up, plan because I'd rather have yours. And I'm gonna put my faith in you and my trust in you. And I'm not gonna over, you know, stress about this. And I'm actually gonna truly cast my cares upon you, Lord. Cast my words on you because I know that you care was that cast my anxieties on you, God. Like, I'm truly gonna do that. It's one thing to say, it's another thing to do it.

And I feel like with this pregnancy, I really have done that. Like, I don't, I feel like because what happened last time in my labor, I have a lot of reasons to be afraid, but I don't feel afraid. Like, I don't feel afraid to go back in the labor, I actually feel excited to. I don't feel like afraid of having two kids, you know, that would be crazy. Feel excited and it's not like a naïve thing. I know it's still gonna be hard. I mean labor is hard and having two kids is hard and postpartum is crazy. But I think like I've truly began to cast my cares on him.

And I think, you know, God's shown us so much up to this point. And even if he didn't show us a thing, he's done enough for us in our life by just literally sending a son down on the cross and be raised from the dead and it might us into that story that I can put my trust in that I can put my faith in that and I think that's the thing you have to know with God like God you can do these cool things like you can show me the name and you can part the scene you can do all these crazy miraculous things but at the end of the day and you can part the scene. You can do all these crazy miraculous things. But I think of the day, if you never do another thing

in my life that shows that you're a miracle working God, you've done enough to prove that you are, you know? And I think holding onto that in seasons where maybe you're looking for a miracle or you're wanting those signs to know that I trust that maybe you will show me that one day, but even if you don't, you've done enough to be worthy of being God, you know? I trust that maybe you will show me that one day, but even if you don't, you've done enough to be worthy of being God, you know. Yeah, that's good. Well, this is fun.

It's most fun. Name dropped. Name dropped. Haven Bell Huff coming into the world in May. Honey Huff and Haven Huff, they're gonna be. Honey and Haven. They're gonna be. They're gonna be a duo. Yeah. They're gonna be slaves. These strong little safe place. They're gonna be slayers. They're gonna be a duo. Yeah, not gonna be slaves. These strong little safe place, they are gonna be slayers. They're gonna be power houses. They're hopefully best friends. Hopefully best friends. I pray that like almost every day. Yep.
