This is the first time I've ever felt so expectant at the beginning of a year. I mean, yeah I'm always like this is gonna be my year, 'big tings are gwarnin' but there's something different this time. Excitement is instilled in me; in my body and in my spirit. This year is going be filled with great times and great adventures spiritually and physically... And by that I do mean lots of ventures abroad//road trips//exploring different cities. It's gonna be great!
So today was my first Sunday service of 2015, like many people around the world... and I've gotta say; >>The Word was perfect!<< It was so relevant to this particular time and just what was needed to start off an excellent year. The preach was all about the significance of naming. Well, we all know how important a name and it's meaning can be but for those who don't lemme just quickly give you my take. So for me a name is a predisposition of a person's life and character, it kinda describes the type of person someone will be...
The pastor spoke about the time God changed Abram's name to Abraham, Genesis if you wanna look that up, and how important that was. In his name change he was also given a promise, a covenant between God and Ab was made...
The meaning of Abraham is 'Father of many nations' ~can I just add that this man was like 99, comes before 100 & just after 98!~
The point here was that Abraham was GIVEN the name (pree the meaning) THEN he BECAME that name! Abraham later became a father; a father to offspring as plentiful as the stars...
~back to his age, this dude was old. No one at that time could ever believe that at his age he could have children. I mean can you imagine... but it happened! So side note: don't take yourself out of the game~
As a church we have all been encouraged to name our 2015 and to pray over that each day. Whether it may be wanting a joyful, peaceful or adventurous year or maybe even giving something up i.e. if you drink one too many on occasions....
After naming your year you also have to become more active on making the name work for you. If you want a joyful year then sorry to tell you but you've got to cut off people who bring negative energy. You have to cultivate your environment with the things//people who are going to help you get to that place. Just like a baby in the womb is surrounded with the nutrients he//she needs to grow, you too have to feed the right things into your life in order to grow!
For me I chose a year of openness, amongst other things that is. I'll be working towards being more open to the people in my world and letting my walls//guards down. It's gonna take a LOT of work and prayer but I'm all for it!
What kind of year are you hoping for in 2015??
Peace - LOVE & all things sugary ✌️
