Perhaps you noticed the use of a dove in the green liver disease awareness ribbon. What\u2019s up with that? \u201cJonah\u201d is a Hebrew name that means dove. In scripture, a dove is a symbol of hope and peace in God\u2019s promises, and the physical presence of the Holy Spirit. When naming both our boys, selecting a name with a rich meaning was important to us. We never anticipated such deep connection to the meanings. Nothing we are experiencing through this journey is by chance. It is all part of God\u2019s perfect plan and infinite love for us. Though we may not understand the purpose of this journey, nor may it be just for us, we have hope and assurance that God is with us and will carry us through.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201c<em>Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.<\/em>\u201d Isaiah 41:10<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In addition to the logo updates, we also started an apparel store to help spread awareness of Biliary Atresia and connect others to Jonah\u2019s Journeys as a testament of God\u2019s promises. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bonfire.com\/store\/Jonahs-ba-journey\">www.bonfire.com\/store\/Jonahs-ba-journey\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"imgCenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caringbridge.org\/assets\/ugc\/196bfa\/934432a2-2642-4bbc-abbe-b841ed80ad6b.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<div>For our initial launch, orders are shipped on demand so they can get in your hands sooner \u2014 this also means slightly higher prices based on units sold each day.
