A lot of thought goes into picking our kids names, as I'm sure in picking your too. We have several criteria - Biblical, known but not overused, and meaning. For all three boys we have had the names Zachery, Andrew, and Timothy on the list and each time we have picked a different name. Abraham was a man of faith, a friend of God. We desire that our little Abe becomes a friend of God by having a close relationship with Him and growing in his faith. Josiah means Jehovah helps or supports. We realize that we are dependent on God, we need him every hour, every day. We pray our boys learn this and trust our Faithful God! God is So Good!
Job 37:5-7 God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend. For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth’; Likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength. He seals the hand of every man, That all men may know His work.
