Announcing…Melody Lynn Knowles

My heart is steadfast, O God!
I will sing and make melody with all my being!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
For your steadfast love is great above the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
Psalm 108:1-4 (ESV)

We named our daughter Melody as a reflection of our desire to worship God with a song in our hearts. Her middle name, Lynn (which was my middle name until I married), means “waterfall” – so here is a waterfall & music passage from the Bible, too!
Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers have swept over me.
By day the LORD directs his love,
at night his song is with me -- a prayer to the God of my life.
Psalm 42:7-8 (NIV) |
