I quickly just want to share the choosing of her name. We were thinking of something classical, maybe naming a family member, and were discussing Isabel, but hadn't decided. Then we were in church one day, praying for some of our brothers who were really in a valley of their lives. And then the Holy Spirit started to whisper in my heart: This is a Child of Promise. He has not given up hope on us, there is always promise when we are close to Him. This kept rushing over me like a wave: this is a child of Promise. Not just for us, but for all those dry souls who need the promise and Hope of God.
We came home, and Carl googled: Child of Promise. And up came: Isabel. Since her birth, Carl has been trying to find the website again, and have not been able to do so. Isabel means 'dedicated to God'. But when we needed to remember, Isabel meant that God has Hope for all of us.
