our baby boy has a name

Since finding out we were having a boy, we have been asked over and over again if our little baby had a name. This has been such an overwhelming question because I have come to realize naming a human being is hard business. We didn’t want to say anything until we were sure we had decided on a name, so on Christmas eve and Christmas day we gifted our parents a little ornament with the baby’s initial – E. There are apparently not too many E names because they guessed it right away. We are really happy to have found a name we love and that has a really strong meaning. Elijah was a prophet in the Old Testament and there are multiple references about him in the new testament. His name means my God is YAHWEH. I pray this would be true for our son, that he would love and follow the Lord and that his life would be a beautiful testament of God’s salvation and grace.

Elijah
