Everyone has a name!!!Whether it's something normal,like Mary Anne Parkers,or something different, like Johanna Drelleanna Downstraughtta, it's a name. A name that only that one person could be given for those reasons her or his Mama or Daddy picked out. A name is like a memory. If you remember your eldest daughter's birth, you think of extraordinary things, and then little things that are tagged onto the important day's events. The same with a name. If I said,"Louisa May Alcott," then you would think of Josephine(Jo) March,Elizabeth (Beth) March,Margaret (Meg) March, Amy March, Marmee March, Father March,Hannah,Theodore (Teddy/Laurie) Laurence, Mr. Laurence, John Brooke, and Friedrich Bhaer. If I said, "Laura Ingalls Wilder," you would think of Laura, Mary, Carrie,Ma,Pa, and Jack. If I said,"Carren Baxxtarr, most of you would probably be thinking,"Who the World is that???"But every name has a meaning, and a reason.
"Callie"(Greek) means "Beautiful Voice;Most Beautiful." "Elizabeth"(Hebrew) means "My God is a Vow.""Caleb"(Hebrew) means "dog;heart;bold." "Aedan"(Gaelic) means "Little fire." "Kathryn" (Greek)means "Pure." "Dorothy"(Greek) means "Gift of God."So you know everything has a meaning.
A real, live meaning. If you are looking for why your parents named you...well...what you're named,ask a family member over... Two,if you like... and ask them to help you look up your name.Go to 'Baby Names World' and look at the meaning of your name. So you look up what your name is,and ask your family if you live up to the name God gave you. If not, there's a goal to set for you. Live up to your first name, then go to the middle.Then look for ways to help others live up to their name. There's always a way to help with God's favorite names!!!!
God trusts us- he wanted us to be a part of his family- and we need to live up to the badrillions of names in this huge world-- in this universe. God wants us to be called a name that he gave us. Even if it's the most random name that could have possibly popped into your parents' head, he put it there. It was probably the only name that he put in their heads. Is your name Rachelle Kelly? I bet that your parents were thinking 'Yuenii Weljaa' because your Aunt Radanne's friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's fiance's sister told them that you looked like a Yuenii and your favorite Grandma's uncle's sister's best friend's baby's name is Annjaa and your Grandpa's ex-girlfriend's mother's sister's book club friend's name is Weljon. I bet they might have named you Eliyshaa Keircch 'cause your Uncle Berby Johnnao liked Keircch and your Dad's Great- Great- Great- Grandma's Aunt's sister's cousin- in- law's fiance's best friend's name was Eli and your Mom's uncle's sister's boyfriend's grandma's cousin's sister- in- law's friend's hamster's name is Shaawflake. But God said,"Not Yuenii Weljaa, not Eliyshaa Keircch, not Yuenii Keircch, not Eliyshaa Weljaa. Rachelle Kelly." and aren't you glad your parents went with him? Deal with the teasing, deal with the bullies, deal with the exceptions for your friends. Deal with yourself and your problems. Deal because God did.

Serving Your God Forever and Always
Hello, Friends and Followers.I write for love, enjoyment, desire, and pleasure. But do I really just write for me? Do you just turn knobs and push buttons, or cook 24-7-365,or fix things for strangers and family, or do whatever you possibly do, just for you? Do you just write poems for love?Or go through your childrens' annoying phases for an extended Discipline-your-Children class because of you??? Honestly.
Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior, whether you like it, know it, or not.He payed us one hundred percent(100%)-- Meaning the keeping of our lives--so we should use them to pay him back. Tell me if you have ever-- in your life-- been able to walk up to Jesus Christ and say"Hello, Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, Thank you for saving my life by having a few wrong-thinking people nail you to a piece of bark." Ever?? Didn't think so.
Use this life,this wondrous life,to be a servant. Put yourself in a servant's position and serve God. If you are looking for a birthday present for Jesus, or a chance to scream to the heavens "Thank You!!!", then you have come to the end of your search. You should work for him. Not just everyday work. Don't just put in a full day's work. You ought to work for 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. EVERY year. If you think you just work to make some change, or you think that your boss works you too hard when he says you really need to work 2 or 3 extra hours every night for a week if you want to keep your job, then you are mistaken. Sadly, some people roll their eyes and quit on the spot if a job is not to their liking.Do you think Jesus just said "Okay,take me away" one morning? No!!! Jesus asked God about all this first,and begged for him to have mercy. He was literally dragged away by one of his disciples and his army,all of whom betrayed him. Judas understood (Finally!!!) after Jesus was turned over, and he punished himself after turning over the money had been paid. He killed himself.He hung himself by the neck because he betrayed Jesus. Jesus died as his work that day. And you think two extra hours of doing something is hard!!! If you think you've got it tough,think of Jesus. He was killed. And to think,he never did ANYTHING wrong. Think about how many people you hurt every day somehow. Think of all the sins you have committed today.Jesus never hurt innocent people's feelings, but shouted at those who had betrayed the lamb of God, or done something truly horrible, like making rules about having to go to church Every Sunday.Just because a few people had gotten into the habit of going every Sunday to learn about Jesus, forgotten WHY they went every week, and made it a rule that everyone was to do just that as well. Jesus loves you, regardless of whether or not you attend an extra day of school every week. Jesus' words and actions were right. He will love you just the same.
Work for God, is all I'm saying. Work hard. Thank you. Oh, and one more thing. Right now, call someone in your house, or maybe you should call everyone in your house, and pray. Pray that ya'll as a family, couple, BFF friendship, or just confusing relationship will work harder for God and will serve Him together. Amen.
