God’s promise
Posted by: muh1t0 on: July 11, 2010
God still speaks to people. He hears our prayers and at times, He gives His answer in ways that leave your mind reeling. He said that He would do it and indeed He has. Our beautiful daughter, Nia, came into this world kicking and screaming on 11th April of this year, and we can only praise His name.
When we initially learnt we were pregnant, I’d placed my bet on this little one being a boy due to the way I was feeling. If, you’ve been following my blog, you know that our journey to parenthood hasn’t been easy and having cried out to God to bless us with a child like Hannah did, our little boy was going to be named Samuel. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that our little poopet was a girl, and having named our last two babies, I gave my hubby the wonderful task of naming our little girl. He eventually threw the name Nia my way, which is a Swahili word meaning purpose or will. It’s a name that puzzles many people but to us, our little girl is purposed by God, of God, and for His glory now and forever more.
Indeed God’s promises are Yes and Amen.

oh how wonderful to read this… when I was searching for posts about “faith” I came across your post about your baby faith and I started searching to see the conclussion to the story- if God had indeed blessed your faith. How beautiful Nia is and your story has given me hope. Though my story is much different than yours, God has promised me another child and so I wait (not too patiently sometimes) for God to fulfill that promise… and I so appreciate reading your story.
Be blessed
