'God Saves'

Nathan and I had decided on a name for our third baby almost immediately after finding out we were pregnant.  Our name for a girl was Ruth and our name for a boy was Joshua.  We came up with those names because in the beginning Nathan and I had decided that our kids would be named after biblical figures for their first names and saint names for their middle names.  (James and John Patrick are also named after their grandfathers who luckily fit that system)  We both loved the name Joshua and there was very little discussion about choosing his name.  We came up with Lawrence after St. Lawrence and the fact that my dad's middle name is also Lawrence.  Something we have learned about our sweet baby Joshua is that the name Joshua means 'God Saves or God rescues'.  How fitting that this is the name we had chosen to name our sweet little boy.  I feel that God placed the name Joshua on both of our hearts because it was the name He had chosen for him.  Whether God's plan for Joshua is to save his life by healing him in my womb or God's plan is saving him from this world to be with his Heavenly Father we know that God has a perfect plan for Joshua Lawrence.  Tomorrow at 1pm we are meeting with a Cardiologist at Texas Children's to have an Echo Cardiogram done on Joshua's heart.  Please help us in praying that the Cardiologist has good news for us.  Then Tuesday we will have a MRI to have a closer look at his brain.   Again thank everyone for their continued prayers, love and support.
