On a beautiful, sunny, Sunday evening we met our gorgeous daughter Jubilee! We met her Sunday, May 25 at 8:03 P.M. and were in complete awe of God’s handy work! She was 8 pounds and 20 inches long with the cutest chubby cheeks! She is so peaceful and it reminds us of how we should let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts.
Our daughter’s full name is Jubilee Magdalene. Through much prayer, God led us to this name. Our hearts longed for her name to point her and others to the LORD Jesus Christ. “Jubilee” celebrates Jesus as our Redeemer and is great because it is very similar in Turkish spelling and meaning—Jubile. “Magdalene” is after Mary Magdalene who Jesus healed and who was very jubilant at the sight of Jesus risen from the dead! We pray both of these will be a testimony to all, but especially Muslim women.
