We've finally chosen names! They will be Nathan Phillip and Caden Michael. Sean and I wanted their names to reflect the legacy we hope to build in them and pray their lives reflect.
Nathan means He gave, or God has given. The Bible verse we've chosen for Nathan is John 3:16, which says: "For God so love the world that HE GAVE his only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." We hope Nathan's life is a testimony to God's gift of salvation and the life that is found in Jesus Christ.
Caden means Fighter. His verse is Judges 6:12 and comes from the story of Gideon who God used to deliver the Isrealites from the Midianites. The verse says: "When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, 'The LORD is with you, MIGHTY WARRIOR.'" Our hope is that Caden would have a defiant faith and, like a warrior pursing the call and commands of his commander, obediently follow Christ throughout his life.
Both of our boys are such a gift to us, and our prayer for them is that they come to know Jesus at an early age and grow up following their Creator.
We'll decide which one is Nathan and which one is Caden when we see their little faces!
