  1. Chosing the name Canaan was very spiritual. After suffering a miscarriage in May, I got pregnant again in July. Through prayer, God spoke to me & told me his promises never turn back void. And it made me think of how he promised the land of Canaan to the israelites & even though it took a long long time , he still followed through on his promise. So when I came pregnant again, I knew God is promise was coming to pass. So Canaan it is 🙂
