Looks like we will have a Amethyst birthstone for a February baby. Someone was asking where we came up with her name. Her name was picked out before we were even married. Will's dad always wanted someone to use the name Kizzie (Will's great grandmother), I fell in love with the name it is derived from Keziah and the nickname. I have always wanted to use Josephine after my great grandmother. when we put the two together we loved it. So we knew she would be our first baby girl over 7 years ago. What's even more amazing is God knew she would be our first baby girl forever. Someone recently asked about the meaning of the name. we weren't really sure other than Keziah had something to do with cinnamon. So I looked it up. It actually comes from the cassia tree, which some forms produce cinnamon. The cassia trees symbolism is longevity. Josephine means "the Lord increases" or "He will enlarge" (excited to see what this means in our life). In Job 42, the Lord blessed Job more in the latter part of his life than the first. This was a comfort to us after loosing Albert. But we didn't read on until we knew there was somewhere in the bible Keziah was mentioned and when looking that up Job 42:13-14 says he had seven sons and three daughters. It only gives mention to the daughters names the second he named Keziah. God knew she would be our second child. Isn't he awesome :). Looking forward to introducing Kizzie Jo to the world in the next week or so :).

Oh I just got chills all ove when I read your story of Kizzie's name. I remember you said something quite a while ago about it, but I had forgotten, I don't think I will forget this time *** she is adorable, all frills too ! I pray wonderful blessings upon your family with God our heavenly Father guiding you as always, the neat thing is, you actually 'listen' to Him, not all people are as intune as you two.
