What's In a Name?

Jedidiah Nathan was the name God gave Josh long before we had any children.  We thought Sarah was going to be a boy so we had a name ready to go but God had better plans.  Josh and I made a deal, before kids, that I would name the girls and he would name the boys.  So far I have been blessed with the honor of naming our three precious girls with a little help from Josh.  Now it seems that Josh will get to use the name given to him so long ago.  Jedidiah means loved by the Lord and Nathan means God has given.  What an amazing name for a child God knew we would adopt, a child He would give us.  I am so excited for the day I get to hold our son and tell him how much God loves him.  How God hand picked him for our family so that we could have the honor and privilege of teaching him how much God loves him, how God prepared a name for him even before we knew he would come into our family through adoption. What a gift we have in knowing a Savior that cares about each of us so much!

In case your wondering:

Sarah Belle means Princess Beautiful
Julia Rae means Gentle as a Doe
Hannah Jordyn means Grace Flows Down

Blessings,
