Baby Naming Ceremony

Saturday we had the privilege of going to a tribal baby naming ceremony. We not only got to celebrate with then but we also got to name the baby! This was such a great honor. We named her Aaliyah. This is a Hebrew name meaning exalted. We believe that God has lifted this beautiful little girl up and has wonderful plans for her. After the ceremony was over, we noticed they were bringing out covered bowls. It didn't take long to pick up that we were to eat what was in them. So we uncovered them and there was rice with goat ribs on top. yummy. Its offensive to not eat their food and since I am embracing the culture, I dug in with a smile! It wasn't that bad. Definitely an experience eating from the same bowl.
