We always have the hardest time settling on a name for our new babies. It doesn't help that we only use "M" names! The last two weren't named until after they were born. A week before Macheus was born we had a list of ten names. Marc and I heard the name Macheus on the Bible movie "The Greatest Story Ever Told" when they said, "The Prophet Macheus told us Bethlehem." We loved that name but couldn't find a spelling for it. I wasn't about to make up the spelling! :o) One night we sat in the bed and we both eliminated several names. That left us with about three names. Marc finally found a Bible website with it and the meaning is "Who is like our Lord". I had in my mind what the baby would look like if we used different names. I pictured "Macheus" with lots of dark hair. :o) A few hours after he was born we finally said his name was Macheus Trust. (Macheus pronounced Muh-Kay-Us)
I picked "Trust" as the middle name early in my pregnancy. After having two miscarriages and then starting this pregnancy with some problems, I was very worried that this baby might not make it either. My mom had just died and someone gave me a devotional book. It seemed like every time I read something it would either be talking about trust or have a verse with trust in it. I told Marc if the baby was a boy, I wanted his middle name to be "Trust". He already has lots of nick names. Myles has shortened it to "Cheus". The girls call him "kay- kay" Grandpa and Matthew both call him "Little Mac".
So, there you have it............ our little Macheus Trust! :o)
