Nathan is a Hebrew name meaning "Given" - "Given by God". Baby Nathan is truly given to us by God. Carol and I waited for a baby for a long while. We never gave up on our hope in God. We learned to be patient and eventually God's promise came true. When both of us saw Nathan in the operating theatre, we were overwhelmed with joy!
The second reason rests in our hopes for baby Nathan's character and personality. Nathan's Chinese name is also embbeded with our hopes too (which I will talk about in a future post).
In the Second book of Samuel Chapter 12 of the Holy Bible, God sent Prophet Nathan to speak to King David about the King's commiting adultery and even set up to have the woman's husband killed.
It is Carol and my hope that baby Nathan will grow up and be able to:
- Have total faith in God
- Stand up for the truth
- Be brave to tell the truth
Enough for that at the moment. Let me share with you a very interesting photo that I took the other day. Nathan was having a big yawn... probably ran out of patient with dad adjusting the camera...
