As I was praying the other day and thanking God for all of the circumstances surrounding Owen's birth, I was overwhelmed by God's faithfulness and his abundant blessing upon us. Then, I felt lead to look up the meaning of the name Michael. It means, "Who is like our God?" Isn't that fitting!? I was brought to tears as I realized that we had named him that before we even knew what would happen. We picked the name Owen Michael for a couple of reasons. First we decided on Michael, after Kevin's brother. We were torn for a while about the first name, but settled on Owen after Kevin was assigned to read John Owen for class. We read him together and were both affected by his writing.
It was sweet to find the meaning of his middle name after experiencing such tenderness from our Lord. Just another example of God's kindness and his attention to detail. Who is like our God?!
Father, thank you for Owen Michael. Thank you for the many ways you answered our prayers. You truly gave us the desire of our hearts. Be glorified in this boy's life. Grow him into a man who loves you and spends his life for you.
Congratulations, Rogers family. What a beautiful boy you have, and what a good God you serve. Jami, thanks as always for your God-saturated writing. I'm so provoked by your life!
