It was just yesterday that media personality Faith Muturi Ngugi broke the news that she had delivered a bouncing baby boy.
Named Lemuel after a king in the Bible, Imani meaning faith and Gakio which means hardworking in Kikuyu, she put down a long sweet post to her son explaining why they chose the names they did and how much he means to them.
Dear Son,
Words can't describe the joy we have in meeting you. We have loved and prayed for you earnestly even before you were born. We are honored and overjoyed to be your parents. We pray to raise you up as God desires.
We'd like to let you know what your name(s) mean. They are a reflection of our prayers for you and God's promises in your life.
Lemuel means 'Devoted to God'. That's our ultimate prayer for you. That you will love for God, all the days of your life. Lemuel is also similar to Emmanuel- you are a constant reminder that God is with us. The name Lemuel is of a king who gave wise counsel in Proverbs 31.
Son, you are royalty. Your Dad gave you the name Imani. Your journey this far has been one of Faith. You have overcome great battles to get here. May you always have faith. Be persistent, resilient and determined to be all you can be. You're a champion! Gakio means hardworking. Just like your grandpa, may you work hard, not just for yourself but to add value and make a difference in society.
So now you know! May your name(s) continually remind you who you are and more importantly, whose you are. A man of great purpose and destiny. We are here for you through the different seasons of life.
Love, Dad & Mum.’’ She posted.
While most known personalities choose to keep their children away from social media, Faith introduced her two day old son to the world.
