    I love when Brian stated he ran to his parents for comfort, and that his brothers and cousins were there to encourage him with prayer. This right there is a sentiment that they make it a point that besides family, God is the center of it all. Thank you for this beautiful, uplifting birthing story. Aza is dead gorgeous. Congratulations !

    The fact that it happened during Passover is the best part of the story. A literal REBIRTHING for Momma and Daddy. Then a birthing for Aza. To God be the glory. What a beautiful story.

    Im pregnant right now and I can’t put into words how your testimony has just helped reveal so many things, beyond just the pregnancy and labor, but also how faith and trust have to be bridged and sometimes we get so caught up in our faith in him but without trusting him. I pray we bridge our faith and trust in God. Love the video !

    I was induced and spent 2 days in labor (totally thinking that when the doctor sent me to be induced on Friday that I was going to have my baby on friday (first time mommy what did I know) but I told God that He was in control 🥰 Every struggle, every battle, let's us know that we're human and shows us how to depend on Him - God as our father - and He uses these struggles to make us stronger and resilient - like gold that has to be put thru the fire to be made into something truly beautiful... God bless your beautiful family your baby is soooooo cute 🙏

      @mrsTraveller64 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      you think so? then you haven't heard of families beeing destroyed after their child has died and they grieved too much and their surviving children grew up in a home full of grief and no one had time or strenght for the surviving child..If you ask those families if they think god only gave them what they "could handle" you'll get a compleate different answer.. there are loads of families who got a lot more than they could handle,sorry to burst your bubble..

    • @shersher91able
      @shersher91able 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      mrsC Mac yes I heard of a family that was destroyed and it’s in the book of job in the Bible he lost everything and was very overwhelmed but in spite of the chaos in his life god still give him the strength to overcome. God knows job could handle it and that was his storm he had to go through. We all have different problem that we faced and some are greater that others but god will always be there no matter what and take us out of it you just have to have faith and believe.

But in the midst of the situation he is still there with us that’s the awesome god we serve. It’s like the three Hebrew boy in the fire god delivery them out of it. There is a song that I love and it’s call you are my strength strength like no other in the fullness of your grace in the power of your name you lift me up. Have a blessed day

    My first baby took a while, and my husband and mom was in military out of town.
    My older sister was with me and then she had to leave to bring my other sister home. My Dad came in the morning.
    Thank God for God , he was with me. My husband was in the room for my second, she took awhile.
    Our 3rd baby came so quick,the nurse delivered her. .........10 years later we had twin girls my husband and my mom was in the delivery room ,my first epidural. Twin A came quickly,twin b never turned and thank God the doctor had to get her out. Our daughters ages are 29,26,24 and 15,15.
    So glad that y'all birth story went well!

    What a testimony! My husband and I have a similar story! Love Jesus! Our family is also wonderful blended (Husband is from India)! Fertility challenges, long wait to get pregnant, miracle pregnancy, long labor and delivery, beautiful health baby, revelation that God’s ways are not our ways and His ways are best. So glad that you grew In this experience. My pastors wife said something that comes to mind about what happens when we don’t get what we ask for in prayer, “Not what I hoped, prayed or planned but better than I could have ever imagined.” That’s the God we serve! Continued blessings for you both and baby Aza! ❤️

    I am watching your video at 1 am in the morning and I thank GOD I did. I needed this reminder to have faith that GOD knows what's best for me. I have prayed so hard that my family stays healthy and safe during this pandemic. I was starting to feel anxiety and fear. Your video gave me a sense of calmness. Thank You! I wish you and your beautiful family continued peace and blessings.💜

    Got me in real life tears. Your birth story is packed with so much insight & beauty. One that stood out was that the birthing of purpose [God's purpose] would LITERALLY take all you've got and then some. Thank God for a God that has the most PERFECT plan for us, even when that plan looks nothing like ours. Congratulations beautiful people. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Praise God for His sustaining, gracious hand, and for allowing you to see that He was there all along. So very happy for you guys. She's an absolute beauty. Much love from Ottawa, Canada.🇨🇦🇨🇦

    I feel you! My first birth took 36 hours! Our labor stories are SO similar. I envy your beautiful home birth, I didn't have that option...I am so blessed that my body has no problem carrying a baby but doesn't want to let it go apparently, I had to be induced after 40 weeks with both my son and daughter and also due to low fluid for both of them. I was so exhausted I finally dis break down and have an epidural at hour 34. Great job Brian! My husband's name is Brian too (lol) and ya'll men get ao exhausted too! Your story is beautiful and the birth as well! What an amazing family support system too!

    I must say thank you so much for posting this video especially the one where you talked about your IVF journey. I'm a christian, have been since I was 16. I've been going through this period where I haven't been praying, not going to church as often...just distancing myself away from God, but hearing you talk about him in your previous videos helped me to remember where he brought me from and reminded me that in everything I have to give Him thanks. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

    @TashaShaMus 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    First of all, she le soooooo cute!!! Congratulations!
    Your whole journey from IVF to your birth story has really resonated with me. I'm struggling with my faith because for the last year and a half I've been praying for something and God hasn't granted my request but I feel in my soul that the thing I'm praying for is meant for me. Like try as I might I can't give up on this dream, which is really unusual for me because for the last 8 years I feel like I've been settling in life and like I've given up on a lot of my dreams. So thank you for sharing your very personal and sacred journey with us, it's helped me so much. God bless.

    Now that is a real, raw narration of a life-changing experience.. believing in God, reaching your threshold, almost loosing faith (as a human it happens to the best of us) but still hanging in there... God coming through but mainly you coming through and discovering this massive strength within yourself! A journey towards God.. towards yourself.

    Beautiful little girl. It’s amazing how we petition God how we want and believe things should go. Doesn’t mean it’s wrong because we are believing and standing on Faith. He is taking us to a higher Faith in him. I too had to learn this. When my sister died I believed God for total healing and he had to show me that she was healed but not in the way I believed it would happen. It was definitely a hard lesson but his way was the best way. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

    A different video of yours was in my recommendations and 5 videos later I end up here.
    Omg! I love this testimony. I had the same book. With my first son I had that “supernatural” childbirth described in the book so with my second I was so confident....but God had other plans. I had a very very very similar experience to yours. Between, praying, worshipping, hours in labor, my cervix opening up very slowly. I felt like I was in a battle and I felt defeated. But I could hear God the entire time. I am here. I am with you. He just kept encouraging me. After it was all said and done I realized it was still supernatural and the people in the room had the opportunity to witness Gods presence.

On the next con- I pushed out 6lb.6oz baby girl. Thanks Cole family for sharing your story. I'm 67 years old. You're a bless couple. Beautiful story! A very beautiful baby girl.

  • @antoniogilbert5114
    @antoniogilbert5114 4 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    Congratulations on such a beautiful gift. I have come to realized like the scripture states, many are the plans in a man's heart but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails them all Proverbs 19:21. There are times our hearts faint because feel as though," God have you forsaken me", in such trying moments, but He never forsakes us. He has a plan that is greater than ours. The greater the battle the sweeter the victory. Aza is called with such a great/anointed assignment that it sometimes comes with a great test (look at all the greats in the Bible at their birth). Lexi and Brian God has given you guys one of His angels (you are very special). He knows the plans He has towards you and it is good. Once again congratulations with such an awesome miracle and watch God in her life ( she shall excel beyond her years). Blessings and favor. All the way from the Bahamas.

But God's omniscience...my baby (who is now 9) is healthy and a joy to us. Nothing turned out like I prayed for (oh my prayers were SO SPECIFIC) but my God knew best. I had a similar transformation as you. Love you all! Subscribed today. Oh, and my hubby's name is Bryan (yes with a 'y'). So, I love ya'll just a little bit more, hehe.

    First let me congratulate you both on your wonderful addition to your family. Your story in labour sounds soo much like what I went through...other than I was dehydrated, tired and spaced out at 23hrs. My midwife had to induce labour and as soon as that was done...my daughter came out in a jippy. I was told that my contractions wasn't lasting long to make progress and that my cervix was swelling, preventing my progress. I had my baby at a birthing center. I too asked God for a quick and easy birth, but it was different. My other 2 births were shorter, one was born in water like you and the last was born at home because we had no time to go to the center...my labour was only 1hr. I really admire your courage and loved how you guys worshiped during it all. Blessings on you all.

    Omg! I love you guys😍 I felt your testimony in my core😭 My take away is that the wait of a promise, although exhausting, is worth the spiritual transformation that God has for you at the end. I believe that God gave you this kind of birth, not for just you and your family but for your followers too. So that we can trust God timing and process and to know that He is good in it too. Thank you, thank you for sharing, this is the best labor story ever.🤗 btw I had a 36 hr labor (unmediated) with my first born only to end in a c-section, but I am grateful for it still😊

    Thank you so much for sharing your story! This encouraged me so much! My hubby and I tried for 17 years to have a family and Papa God gave us Eliana Joy! Her name means My God Has Answered! I know how hard it is to trust God for something your expecting but you said it beautifully! No matter what, Papa God is still good and He knows what’s best for us! We are currently believing Him for more children, twins to be exact. But no matter what, I know my Papa God is ALWAYS GOOD and I will still Praise and Worship Him while we wait. I bless you and your family! You guys are beautiful!!!

His thoughts are past finding out🥰🥰I adore you two. Life in Christ shows in what we DO, not what we say!! Great experience, so beautiful, so awesome with all your fam & friends! CONGRATS again!

I’m so glad everything went well despite the longevity of labor lol. Congratulations again on your beautiful baby ❤️

  • @laurnasamuels8977
    @laurnasamuels8977 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I saw your birth video 2 days ago and I was completely in awe of God shining through in the whole process around your daughter being born. From you putting post it stickers or notes and scriptures in prominent places, wasn’t just affirmations of your faith in God and his Word, but a declaration to prevent the enemy from being denied access to you when you were at your most weak and vulnerable. God gave you exactly what you could bear. It will be a testament to your faith in God more as your daughter grows up and you deal with whatever challenges come.
    God gets the glory in everything and he will not give it to another or allow anything that is not of him to get the praise. (Watching this follow up and hearing your background as sparked an interest in me to follow your story.) God bless you all in your journey and life together as a family born of the Spirit of God.🙏🏾🙏🏾

He knows exactly what His purpose is for our lives! As you shared, everyone witnessed how God stretched your belief of what your capacity was! He showed you and all who witnessed Axa’s birth, you and Brian’s perseverance under extreme pressure! And through it all HE got the Glory and you received a blessing! He’s in control, we are here for HIS GLORY!! Through a pandemic, changed personal plans, His sovereignty reigns and His Love is totally AZA-mazing!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

  • @GrowingwithTheGardners
    @GrowingwithTheGardners 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I think a lot of the times we see “short” labors because a lot of women may not count it the same way. Most people just count hospital time (Ex. 4 hours) instead of the time from consistent contraction. I’m a mom of two. 1st labor was 21 hours and 2nd labor was 24 hours from the start of consistent contractions. I shared my labor experience on my channel - I was completely shook with both labors because my experience didn’t go the way I planned (and timing), but I appreciated the active experience I got from it - and healthy babies of course 🙂. What I realized though is that we can have these requests, but God has our plans written already for us - the way it’s meant to happen. Congrats on Aza - you did amazing!

    When we remove our wants from the equation, then God will do what and how He wants things done. He surrounded you both with loving, God-fearing family and friends who trusted God for the victory in the birth of your beautiful daughter. Giving Him the glory and praise in everything that you do is the key. Congratulations to you all.

  • @higlite36
    @higlite36 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    WELCOME, Aza!!!! What a privelege to see you finally!! It's amazing HOW MANY times we "tell" God what we want and expect it rather than listening and accepting His plans. As if we know better!! HUMANS!!! Such expectations!!! Talking through when God just wants to say "Shut up" but loves us too much to say so. Our weakness is HIS strength.

  • @denisedean2446
    @denisedean2446 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    God takes us through a wilderness experience to teach us to let go and let God...So happy you and your bundle of joy are healthy. This is the birthing process, full of twists and turns. Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. You are a "solja" Lexi to have gone through so many hours of labor. It was wonderful how all your family prayed for you. Some women go through two and three days like my friend that labored 36 hours. I would have lost it!!! I'm so happy you have your precious baby girl. She is so alert. She is Brian's twin😘
