Different you say… yes,
it is different and I don’t think I have ever heard anyone name their child
Freedom before, well maybe in a movie once but not in real life.
How did we come up with
this you say???
It wasn’t without some
resistance! You see, Jayda’s birthday is July 4th also known as
INDEPENDENCE DAY the day we celebrate our FREEDOM in the United States of
America.
As Bill and I talked
about names to go with Jayda we went through many including names we had picked
out if we ever had children previously. I was stuck on FREEDOM and Bill didn’t
like it AT ALL…!
So it came down to
drawing straws… we could NOT agree on one name!!! SOOOO… I began praying and Bill
went to a far far away land... Brazil for a mission trip. Low and behold… while he was in Brazil
God spoke to him MANY times about Liberty and the subject of FREEDOM came up
over and over and OVER.
It came to pass about two days after he
had been gone I received an e-mail informing me that Jayda’s middle name WILL
be FREEDOM…will explain later…
OH boy was I
excited!!!! I knew it… I just KNEW IT!
Not to mention our
FREEDOM as a country, our spiritual freedom we receive when God adopts us into
His family! Jayda is going to need this middle name and I believe it was God’s
design for her be born on Independence Day… she will one day be FREE and gain
her Independence in every way!
Almost every night I
sing this lullaby to her in hopes she will someday understand how much God
loves her:
"Lullaby and goodnight
sweet baby Jayda
Mommy loves you, Daddy
too, and God SOOOO loves you
So lullaby and
goodnight sweet baby Jayda.
Night Night"
