In just 5 weeks, our baby boy will enter the world. His full name is Braydon Mark Lee, but we'll be calling him Brady for short. After making this decision, I stumbled across a book with baby names/meanings...and as soon as I read it, I couldn't help but laugh and think...how appropriate! Brady - (Irish) The son of a large-chested man. Ever since then, I think Jason's been doing some extra push-ups at night. kekekeke~
Brady's middle name is Mark...why Mark? Mark is one of the books in the Bible I've been reading during my pregnancy...and I'm reminded that this is my favorite gospel presentation! So Braydon Mark...because:
1. Mark presents Jesus as the Servant, ever active and instantly responsive to the will of the Father. My prayer is that Brady would have a posture of bold humility towards our heavenly father.
2. Mark 10:45...my life verse and prayer that Brady would be a servant of God:
"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
3. Mark 10:14-16...a reminder to me how precious children are to God and if it's this important to God, there's something we better take away from it:
"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a child will never enter it." And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.
Dear Brady, We are so excited to meet you!!! The world is big and there's so much in store for you. We thank God everyday that he chose us to be your parents. We hope you're growing big and strong. We love you so much already!
