Are you named after a Saint?

I want to share with you some exciting news. After months of prayer, studying and reflection, I've decided to become an Orthodox Christian this Sunday.Over the past fourteen months, I've met often with our priest, Father George, to answer many questions...and boy do I have many!! I think even Brandon (a "cradle" Orthodox) has learned a thing or two :)  Both our families have been a tremendous support. Brandon's parents have seen me through it all, from my first Orthodox Easter to "retreating" to the annual Church convention! These experiences of ancient Christian faith have given me fresh perspective on my journey with Christ. This is a slow journey, filled with wonder and delight...and it's only the beginning!

 Mr. and Mrs. Gantus have graciously agreed to be my Sponsors, and I will be also choosing a Saints name in the coming days which represents someone whose intercessions uphold my faith and spiritual efforts. I have had so many wonderful suggestions of Saints names - I almost can't believe it!  So...here are the current suggestions - anyone have a vote?

Saint Lucia (mom)
Saint Theophano (Curt, he actually researched that this is where the name "Tiffany" is from!)
St. Francis (Laura, Susan)
St. Mary (Heather)
St. Ann (Deena)
St. Theresa of Avila (Kresten)
St. Sophia (I happen to like this one!)
St. Sylvia (Lindsay)
St. Kyra, St. Barbara, St. Anastasia, St. Philothea (Brandon)
And last but not least....St. Nick! This was the sweetest one of all, from my step-dad, John, he says:
"This could be your mother! I vote for her! St.Nick(a)la.  Not only does your mom pray for you, but she also sleeps with the homeless(last night) and prays for them(they need it). And she takes food to the sick; brings joy to the down hearted; I could go on, but she thinks I go on to much."

Their love for each other continues to amaze me each day!! He also suggests perhaps I pick more then one or pick a new Saint to interceed every year.  How cool is that. They really do have amazing stories...
