ebenezer

So what do you guys think of my new blog title? I think it's kind of pretentious and more serious than I wanted to be. So I don't know. But I really like what it means. I'm kind of realizing that my life means something way bigger than just what it means to me. It's an ebenezer, a monument to the faithfulness of God- and it's also... how can I say this? It also confirms what I've been told is ultimate Truth. I mean, people can tell you things but until you see experience confirming what you hear there's no reason to beleive it. My experience is confirming the Truth of the Gospel all the time, in a way that convinces me way more than all the scientific proofs for creation or anything like that.

I've got a story to tell, but it's not a story about me, it's a story that's being told through me. I think. Maybe this is why God made me love to write. Maybe? I don't know. But I hope so. I think that would be really cool.

Ebenezer Scrooge!!!!!! *whispers* I am the ghost....of Jacob Marley...

okay, so that's really the first thing that came to mind. but I'm feeling very hyper right now and I didn't grow up with any different idea of what that word means. I think it's pretty sweet.

and I'm so so so so so so so so happy that you made a new post!!! I'll agree with just about anything you say!

call me later????

"Here I raise my Ebenezer, hither by Thy help I've come..."

That's the first thought that comes to my mind. I think it's a neat title and a neat idea.

I agree with you - no 'proof' can really compare with knowing God as a person and seeing His work in your life.

Well the first thing that popped into MY head was, "how do I pronounce this???"

Lol. I'm tired. You should be able to tell. ;-)

haha. Yeah, I got the hymn like Crystal did. And I like it. Definitely more serious than the other titles, but it's good.

I think that you do have a story to tell Emily. I can't wait till when you do!
