Asher Clark Johnson
Welcomed on October 10, 2010 at 3:45am
Eight pounds, twenty-one inches long.
Taken from Jerehiah 31
"...I have loved you with an everlasting love;
...With weeping they shall come, and with pleas for mercy I will lead them back, I will make them walk by brooks of water, in a straight path in which they shall not stumble,
...I will turn their mourning into joy; I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow.
...my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, declares the Lord.”
Asher means "happy" in Hebrew. Duet 33:24, Gen 49:20
Asher was the eighth son of Jacob, he was promised a life blessed with abundance. Fortunate; blessed; happy. He is the son of Jacob and Leah, Leah named him this after declaring her joy over having Jacobs son and that she would be called blessed. Gen 49:20 describes God's promise to Asher's heirs. His blessing for Asher was: the food of Asher shall be rich and he shall provide delicacies fit for a king (Genesis 30:13).
His middle name is Clark, a fourth generation Johnson family name; and we're honored to pass the name.

What a beautiful name! What happiness and joy you have (we all have) in welcoming Asher into the world! Matthias is pretty excited that his middle name is the same as Asher's first name. And what a big boy he is! I am so proud of you, Amanda, for sacrificially carrying him to full term and am so thankful for all the good God has worked in your heart and life during. What a testimony you will be able to share with Asher as he grows up! Praise God! We are SO happy for you!
