A Bible Revelation that led us to our son Seth James:
Let me start by saying how Herb and I chose the name Seth James. It was through a movie called City Of Angels with Nicholas Cage: Nicholas Cage played the role of an angel named Seth. It was a great movie and Herb and I really liked the name.
During our adoption process - we figured if it were a boy we would name him Seth. Later through scripture and prayer, the Lord revealed to me why he had placed the name Seth in our hearts. Read below:
The Bible does not say that Seth was Adam and Eve’s first child, or even first son, after Abel was killed. Rather, it states that Seth was born as a “replacement” for Abel. Genesis chapter 5 traces the genealogy of Seth. Prior to his death, Abel was likely the “chosen” son that would eventually produce the Messiah (Genesis 3:15). It is in this sense that Seth “replaced” Abel.
So what does this all mean: okay let me break it down for you. Adam and Eve had two sons. One was named Abel and the other was named Cain. Cain killed Abel. After Abel's death, Eve became pregnant with another son and she named their son Seth. In Genesis 4:25, it reads that Eve states: "God has given me Seth in replacement of Abel".
Well anyone that knows us personally knows our history with the loss of our other son Baby Emmanuel. My heart tells me that YES! Seth was sent to us in replacement of our son Baby Emmanuel. And you know what the amazing part of this story is? We did not know any of this part of scripture until way after we decided to name our son Seth.
And what about "James" - his middle name became evident that the Lord wanted this name for hum after speaking to me one day while I was in the shower. As crazy as it may sound. The Lord said to me that day: "Seth's middle name will be James" after hearing the Lord's voice speak this to me. I asked for a confirmation that this indeed was coming from the Lord. Weeks after I received some documents with the BP history. Seth's grandfather's name is "James"
God speaks to us through the power of the Holy Spirit. We just have to be willing to quiet our hearts and listen.

My time finally arrived
I came across this scripture reading today and I thought, Wow ! how appropiate this is for me. I waited so so long for Seth to come into our lives. With constant prayer and humility to our awesome God - he always remains faithful no matter what. It may take longer than what we expect and want but everything happens in HIS perfect timing, and to be quite honest - yes it was a very long wait to finally have our baby - but now that I get to hold Seth in my arms from moments of him being born - I would not have had it any other way. Thank You Jesus !!

Today's Word
Your time is coming! The dreams and desires, the things you want to accomplish, the situations you want to see changed will happen. Just because it has taken a long time, or because you’ve tried and failed, don’t give up on those dreams. Don’t be complacent about pursuing what God has placed in your heart. I encourage you today — get your fire back! It may be taking a long time, but God is a faithful God. No matter how long it’s been, no matter how impossible it looks, if you’ll stay in faith, your time is coming. Every dream that’s in your heart, every promise that has taken root, God not only put it there, but He has every intention of bringing it to pass. Start declaring today, “My time is coming… God is working behind the scenes on my behalf… I will fulfill my destiny… I will fulfill the plan God has for my life!” As you declare and expect and wait for the appointed time, your faith will grow. Your hope will grow. And you’ll step into the destiny God has in store for you!
A Prayer for Today
Father in Heaven, I receive Your truth today. I receive Your promises today. I ask that You ignite my heart with Your holy fire so that I can pursue Your perfect plan for my life. Make my thoughts and words agreeable to Your will. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
