“John Haven” Outlaw

John means “god is gracious” and Haven means “safe place”. We declare these names over our child. Even now, God is still good. He is gracious. And we know His plan for John Haven is full of grace. We praise the Lord that he’s allowing me to carry our child in the safety of my womb. That we are able to spend these days with him. And we ultimately praise Him that all of his days, whether on Earth or in Heaven, will be spent in the hand of the Father. Our gracious Father, our place of safety.

Our prayer everyday, “Lord, heal John Haven.” Our diagnosis is Trisomy 18, but our hope isn’t in a diagnosis. It’s in the King of Kings. We are on our knees believing God for the miracle we know He can do. We know He is able to heal our child completely. But we’re also learning to rest in the understanding that heaven is a miracle, too. We’ll love you forever, John Haven Outlaw.
