From the beginning, we never intended to name all our kids after Old Testament Bible figures. However, it has been amazing how God has guided us as we have named each of our boys. The Bible is filled with the people that God has used to accomplish his mighty purposes, often in their weaknesses. What an incredible testament to us as believers!! God uses us when we feel the weakest!! We want to "go public" with the name for our new Droddy for a couple of reasons. First, it gives a specific name for our prayers, as we patiently await the time we will meet. Second, it helps us to embrace the reality and blessing of our future son.
So here it is:
GIDEON RAYWhen the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, "The LORD is with you, mighty warrior." --Judges 6:12
Whether our little Gideon is in his birth mother's womb, in an orphanage somewhere in Uganda, or not yet conceived, we pray and know God's hand is on him, and over his circumstances. He is to be a "mighty warrior" for God.
Please pray with us for baby Gideon!!
