Josiah Nathan Herron -
Your first name means "Fire of the LORD." King Josiah was a godly leader who advanced God's Kingdom in a time of spiritual darkness. May you grow up to be a warrior-prince.
Your middle name means "Gift of God." In 1 Samuel 1 where we see baby dedication, Hannah presents her infant son Samuel to God, saying that he was lent by God, and she was now lending him back for God's glory. Today your mother and I do the same by dedicating you to Jesus.
Your last name means you're family. You're stuck with us. And we count it all joy. We resolve to make Christ the center of our marriage, not ourselves. We pledge to strive toward modeling trinitarian love to you. We promise to teach you about Jesus of Nazareth, His love for you, and His supreme, eternal sacrifice made for your salvation.
May you choose to follow Christ, be baptized as a believer, and make disciples of all nations.
