SO MUCH IN A NAME

My dad and my brother tried for a while to unscramble the letters to figure out our son's name. We wanted to let you know how we came up with the name CAEDMON. We went on a little retreat to pray and ask God what to name our son. A name is so important and as we look through scripture you see God giving specific names to individuals and even changing their name at a significant point in their life. We prayed that God would give us a name, but he didn't give us a name. He did impress, however, a meaning on our hearts. Warrior. We were supposed to name our son a name that meant warrior. That is all we knew after our retreat and when we came home Ashley began to search on the internet. I had some appointments that day, but when I came home Ashley stopped me and told me a name that she found. I was in full agreement as the name Caedmon left her lips. She found that Caedmon means "Wise Warrior". We pray that Caedmon is a warrior for the Lord and will always stand as a protector of the truth. A warrior is not one who starts fights, but protects and stands between evil and good. Our prayer is that he will be a Tender Warrior, as depicted by Stu Weber's book, Tender Warrior.

CAEDMON

Caedmon's Here, and He's Cute!! He is ready for the cold and is now 6 weeks old. Time has flown, it is amazing to see him grow and change so quickly. He is definitely a huge blessing to us. We, of course, fell in love at first sight and cried with joy together as he was born. We are excited to see him grow and become the warrior that God has called him to be.
