Ezekiel B. and Nehemiah B
just the cutest little hand and foot:)
WE CAN'T POST THEIR PICTURES OR MIDDLE NAMES UNTIL THEY ARE OURS)
Why we chose these names...and this is the short version :)
EZEKIEL- Yahweh will Strengthen. He was a prophet and priest of God that was used to proclaim hope and truth to the people during trying times. Ezekiel was a man who obeyed the Lord wholeheartedly and reminded us in Scripture of the Lord's nearness and presence when we fully turn to Him
NEHEMIAH- Yahweh has comforted. His life is such an example for us to follow as He sought the Lord with every decision and was willing to be a servant leader by spurring on the people and holding them accountable to God's commands.
We are praying for Ezekiel and Nehemiah...that they will follow the Lord wholeheartedly, proclaim the good news and serve joyfully their Maker and Savior.
As we have gone back and read over many of our journal entries from the past year and a half it has been amazing to see how the Lord spoke to us in remarkable ways at key times in the boys lives, even the days that they were born. This journey continues to humble and challenge us as our faith and devotion to our Maker deepens as we see Him move mountains. What a privilge it is to walk with the Lord.
These are our happy faces because we are rejoicing in the Lord's goodness. Well, for about a month now I have been sick with all kinds of strange stuff...but praise the Lord I am on the mend. Last night we went out for a date and stopped to smell the flowers. These beautiful flowers are actually right outside of our apartment, we just can't believe we get to enjoy such beauty everyday.
For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting and His faithfulness to all generations. Ps 100:5
Wanted to wish a Happy Birthday to my Granddad (21st) and Dad (24th)...we love you both so much, we will celebrate with you all in April!!
