Who Am I?

     Everybody goes through the Name Game when they are expecting. It is ritual, it is life, it is culture! We inherit it from our parents and them from their parents and so forth. Some can win the game really early on and others do not win even after the baby is born and no name comes to mind. A name is not just a name it is part of an identity. I believe that God will whisper the unborn child's name to you if you ask him to.

   When I was pregnant I looked in baby book after baby book after baby book. My friends and family would send me emails and text messages with names and I could never decide. I worked at a huge law firm and had many many clientele there. I would go through names as people would call in with appointment and names of new clients as they fill out their paperwork and was hoping that a random person would walk in one day and have the name that was meant to be. However, it never happened. I was going into my 7th month of pregnancy and decided I needed help from the big man upstairs. I prayed and prayed for help to find my unborn sons name. It was three days later that I sat at my desk all alone in my office thankfully ha ha and the name Paxton popped into my head. I liked that it was unique! I said it out loud and in that instant my son kicked so hard that when I looked down I could see his little toes indented in my belly. Whenever I would say his name he reacted to it. I knew it was him, that was his angels name given to him from God.

   I am sure like me, some of you have met people at the store, mall, company party, friends event and so on; and like everybody you exchange names. Have you ever heard someones name and thought to yourself that they dont' look like that name? I have! I am guessing that these people were given the wrong name during birth ha ha.
 
    A name Is part of somebodys' identity; however people still sometimes even spend eternity trying to find out who they are. I know and can honestly say that I DO NOT know who I am. That is OK though because I am on the right path of finding that out. How about you? Do you know who you are?

    Ecclesiastes 3:11 "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end."
