Hey ladies, not sure if I ever shared this testimony on here or not but wanted to make sure. I posted this in the Pregnanct Thread but wanted to post it here for my Sisters In Christ as well:
I had been unable to conceive for 4 years and was starting to think I would never conceive again. So one night, on the toilet, I began to weep before the Lord (I know, not a very "Holy" place to meet with the Lord and certainly doesn't fit into most people's "religious" box lol, however read on lol). Up to that point I had joked around about not wanting any more kids, but inside it was tearing me apart that month after month my period came - late, but came the same. So finally I broke down and was completely honest with the Lord. I prayed "Lord, I beg you, please open my womb and give me a son." A short time after that, I was reading my Bible, I was in the book of Numbers when I came accross Number 13:30. As I read that verse the Lord spoke into my Spirit, "you shall have a son, and you shall call him Caleb." Well, I got down on my knees and prayed to the Lord, and promised Him if I had a son, I would call him Caleb. I told my hubby about it, and he just kinda looked at me funny (he thinks my Prohpetic gifting is wierd, and since he grew up Southern Baptist, it certainly doesn't fit his religious box
) and thought nothing of it.
So anyway, 2 months later TADA! I'm pregnant right. Well my 13th week I find out that I "may" be having a boy from the Perinatologist. So anyway, why i done forgot the Word of the Lord
I fell in love with the name Aaron (mainly cuz Aaron cracks me up in Exodus when he told the people to bring him all the gold etc., and hand crafted the golden calf, then when Moses find outs and confronts him he said the people put their gold in the fire and badabing, out jumps the calf
) and had been calling him Aaron. Well hubby does not like the nameerplexed So we visit my inlaws right, and we're talking about names and what does my MIL say "I've always liked the name Caleb, I was going to name Joshua that actually." So BOOM, the Word of the Lord comes back to my rememberance and you'd THINK I'd concede right? Nope! Of course I tried to "rationalize" with God seeing as I was now attached to the name Aaron. So I told the Lord "But God, Caleb is such a white name! (Yes, that's the best I could come up with) Then what does God do? In church the VERY NEXT Sunday, I see a cute CHOCOLATE boy, and what is the name on his name tag? Caleberplexed. So NOW surely I conceded right? Nope!I then tried to bargain with God lol. I said, well what if I just name the next one Caleb? Besides, Caleb is too close to Kayla and they won't know who I'm yelling at!I could just FEEL God do this So then He spoke into my Spirit, "I kept my promise, will you keep yours?" Here He had confirmed 3 times (in the prayer, in my MIL, and the boy at church) this name ad I wanna argue with the Lord God Almighty
So now grudingly I have accepted the name Caleb.
