Jarah Josiah
July 2009
The Story behind Jarah:
Michael has a friend who lives in "The States". So Jeff asks Michael do you have a name picked out to which Michael replies no. Half an hour later Jeff says "What about Jarah?". We look it up and it means God gives sweetness. We think about it, pray about it, talk about it. I am a bit unsure given the way that Amalia's name was given to us I guess I was expecting God to speak to me the same or similar or a more miraculous way then someone 'suggesting' a name. But I am won over and peaceful about the name Jarah - God gives sweetness. God speaks to us in varying ways that are unexpected and unusual. This time he spoke through a friend.
As this child came into the world and has spent the last 20months with us he truly is a sweet child - true to the meaning of his name.
The Story behind Josiah:
Michael was filling out the birth certificate and says to me "What about Josiah" for a middle name? I ask what it means "Jehovah Helps". Yeah sure I say if you think so. And he says yep. And I ask are you being serious? & he says yes. Nothing super spiritual, or miraculous. Just peace in the heart and a word of knowledge.
