God gave me a name for you. It just felt right and none other would do. Your name Sandy is the Scottish derivative of the Italian name Sandra which is the short form of Alessandra or the English Alexandra. It means defender of mankind. We also understand sandy as a soil that we find most commonly beach side. But this name I give to you as a gift; Olivia Morganne Claire.
'
Olivia is Latin for olive. Morganne is Welsh for the sea. Claire is Latin for bright. The metaphor that I see for you is of the dove with olive branch that flew out from the ark and over the waters seeking a place of rest. She is a symbol of the Holy Spirit and a sign of peace. Like a lighthouse by the sea she sends out a light to guide storm tossed sailors into harbors of rest. Out of your own troubles and chaos you will find a place of solid ground .... the Rock of Ages. And you will be a light ... a city upon a hill drawing men to God and to that Rock.
