4) The next week Terry Richani, a producer here at HGTV, wrote a poem for me. She has had lots of experience writing for TV, but has never written poetry. She said that God told her to stop what she was doing and start writing. I had told her earlier that I wanted whoever keeps the baby to pray in tongues over it every day. That is an odd request that scares most people. It didn’t scare her, but she said she couldn’t stop thinking about it. The poem has to do with the whispers from a mother over her child and how that forms his life as a strong man of God. And yes, the child in the poem is a boy. She said she tried to make it neutral, but God kept saying it’s a boy, just keep writing. She gave it to me in the copy room. As I read it, I just started crying. It is everything I want for our son. 5) It is now July. We found out it’s a boy July 2nd. Terry came to my desk on the 3rd and I told her it’s a boy. She already knew of coarse, along with my mom and sister. I sent out this e-mail later because of the days events. You are not going to believe this one! I guess I never told Terry we were going to name our child Samuel if it was a boy. This is what she sent me today. She sends out a devotion every morning and today it ended with Samuel being called by God. Terry said it really stuck out to her and sent me this e-mail. I then talked to her in person and told her we are definitely having a boy and the baby's name. She was stunned. To me, this is another confirmation of what we are to name our child. As a reminder, Terry is the producer here at work who wrote the poem for us. She is really developing prophetically huh? Love you, Shain

Have you thought of the name Samuel? This verse popped out at me this morning when I was reading my devotions. Notice the reference to Shiloh... The LORD was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of his words fall to the ground. 20 And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba recognized that Samuel was attested as a prophet of the LORD . 21 The LORD continued to appear at Shiloh, and there he revealed himself to Samuel through his word.

*That’s right, she suggested that we name our son Samuel. She has no idea about the history of the name with us.
