We cannot imagine our home without Ellie... She brightens up each day with her adorably clever personality. We often tell her that she has a very special name, and of course, she wants to hear "the story" about it... over, and over, and over! :) The meaning of "Elliana" in Hebrew is "God has heard and answered prayer." Elliana is a reminder to us that God knows exactly where we are, exactly what we are going through, and He hears our prayer - we will know the answer in His perfect time. He already knows the end, and He already knows the solution to the problem. He has already "answered" what we are praying about. Our job is to trust Him. We have "Joy" because our hope is not in this world, but in the God who has a plan for our lives. He has already conquered sin, death, and hell... I know that He can handle whatever comes our way! Our prayer is that Elliana will understand these truths and apply them to her life. We found a verse that suits her name well - Romans 12:12 "Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing instant in prayer." Elliana Joy, this is our prayer for your life!
