I was bless with one son, and husband, both now in the Kingdom. But we wanted another son and we were going to name him Khrystyan Walker Earley. Khrystyan/Christian I've always been one that's likes to play with the spelling of names, I like twinking with someones mind figuring out how to pronounce it. I didn't ever have the priviledge of naming a daughter which was going to be Anaha Nakia Kemo Earley....which means "Beautiful Vast Plains of Love Earley"....due to the character of the early American indian tribes who truly loved and lived off this land/country and took care of it, what they took from it was prayed over, and out of respect it was given back in other ways, plus it's my first husband and my Cherokee heritage. Our grandmothers were full blooded Cherokee, while my grandfather was Welch, his grandfather was Irish. So my husbands family had redheads that didn't burn out in the sun, just got real dark which was confusing for people to see a dark skinned redheads, except poor little Kemo/Love (husbands lil' sister) she be burnt in 5 minutes. LOL
My step-daughter gave me the priviledge to spell the name Jayden for my grandsons name, we spell it Jaidyn. But I've always liked names that represent a character or mantle that one carries in giving honor to God. Now our daughter did this with her daughter's name: Chasiti Logan Lowery means "Pure Women of God climbing in leadership" and boy this 3 1/2 year old is on fire for Jesus since she was 6 months old, along with a 38 word vocabulary at that time. And she has a very up right take charge personality, even in the caring of her one year old brother....like a little mama, and you better not get it wrong in caring for him.
: One of her first words was Jesus, and putting my cross necklace to my lips to kiss, and funny thing my grandson does the same thing. My mother named me Carol which means song of joy, and she said I always would sing and make up songs, and now I do it for Jesus with song and singing prayers of thanksgiving. But singing to myself got me through some very hard times/abuse. Sometimes the meaning of our names can carry us through the hard times, because we can rely on the representation of the power of our names in Christ. Especailly in these last days.....
