Ben turned 19 months last week on October 17th. I wanted to write about his name and why we chose it for him.
Benjamen is from the Hebrew Language, meaning "The Son of My Right Hand". The scripture given is Psalm 18:35, You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great.
We believe God has a great plan for Ben, all along he has been in the presence of our Lord with God himself holding him up in His right hand, with gentleness just waiting for the day Ben will receive his shield of salvation. We also decided to spell his name with the word "men" because we feel that God will make him into a "Fisher of Men" for His Glory!
Zachary is also from the Hebrew Language, meaning "God Has Remembered". The scripture given is Psalm 25:14, The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant.
God has remembered him as well as all of the orphans around the world.
Guang is his given Chinese name in which we will keep. We feel it is important for him to have a part of his heritage.
When the meaning of Benjamen Zachary is put all together it means:
The Son of My Right Hand, God has Remembered!
Thank You God, that you have remembered our Ben and that you have a great plan for his life and it involves me being his forever mommy!
