The story behind her name...
I think some of the inspiration behind her name came from the verse on this blog that we received from friends in our church. It had been important to them at a time of trial in their own life, when their son was having epileptic attacks as a child. We liked the idea of God as our shepherd, and especially the tenderness He shows towards the young. Rachel means 'female sheep' or 'lamb' and Amariah means 'spoken by God' or 'promised by God'. I had struggled for months with names, nothing seeming right. But David suggested 'Rachel' one day and I suggested the middle name and that was that.... I am so glad we have named her! It makes her so much more real to us and to others....

am so glad you're doing this kendra! i know it will bring so much healing and help you to remember these precious days when the pain is very real and your heart is ever tender to the Father. i'm praying that His love will soak into every fibre of your being until you live it, breathe it, bask in it, rest in it. until you are so saturated...so drenched in the wonder of His love that your heart is flooded, beyond comprehension with peace....beautiful God given peace.
love to you.
