The Lord named our little girl before she was even conceived. On my birthday last year (June 5th), He placed this name on my heart. I sobbed, wondering why a girl's name had come to my mind when we hadn't even agreed to move forward with having another child. Yet, I knew the Lord had placed this name on my heart. Within a week and a half, we were expecting!
Moriah
Moriah
"Seen by Yahweh"
Moriah is also the region where Abraham took Isaac to offer him as a sacrifice. On that mountain, God provided a lamb instead. He always provides. Ultimately, God provided the Lamb-- Jesus Christ, the perfect atoning sacrifice once and for all!
Our prayer is that Moriah will be a little girl who knows how deeply she is seen by the Lord, and that she'll be a girl who truly sees others-- the weak, the outcast, the marginalized. May others see Jesus in and through her life!

Hope
"To expect, to trust with confidence."
God has profoundly sustained our hope in the midst of the last 17 months. Now- greater faith, love, and joy are springing up! (Col. 1:5)
In Moriah, the place of Abraham's surrender, God provides hope!

I have a huge lump in my throat and can't stop weeping. Moriah is where Abraham took his son ISAAC to be sacrificed. What an all encompassing name!! Oh sweet heavenly Father - your love and mercy endure forever and ever!!!
