Okay,
this is bound to be an extremely random entry because there are only a
few totally unrelated things I want to say this evening.
I
downloaded Firefox and realized that everyone using Firefox could only
see a very messed up website! Sheesh...I am sure there are other
browsers that I am not compatible with as well, but at this point I
have made my website readable and presentable in Explorer and
Firefox. However, Firefox seems to display my page much wider
than IE6...I still can't figure out how to fix that one.
I
have started to add the new format for the pages under the "Audio
Library" on the right. If you select the links "loop dee loop",
"c is for cookie", or "mine mine mine mine" you can see the new
format. It is very simplistic, but it is more fun than the others
that currently link to a page with only the sound clip bar.
In
reading through 1 Chronicles I came across the name Elionai and loved
it. I did the same thing with the name Asher when I was younger,
and Samuel in the last year. However, the part I love about
Biblical names is their meaning. Elionai means "My eyes are upon
Yahweh". What a beautiful name for a little girl who may be
called Eli (Elly), much to my dismay, by her playmates. Samuel
means "God heard and answered" and Asher means "happiness or
joy". Therefore, Samuel Asher could imply "God heard my prayers
and answered me with much joy." What a wonderful name. Why
I am pondering on baby names is beyond me, but they are something
beautiful and I am facinated with languages and their origin and
meanings.
Lastly,
I was thinking about needs...human needs...from the simple everyday
needs to the substantial survival needs and I was thinking about how
God often doesn't supply those "needs" in the time or the manner we
would anticipate. Then that led me to consider the answers to why
that is. In my reflection God revealed two things He often
teaches to us through waiting on our needs...humility and
humbleness. Those may sound like the same thing, but He proceeded
to clarify further for me.
"Being humiliated is something that happens to us; being humbled is something that happens in us."
If
you are in a place in your life where you feel humiliated, perhaps it
isn't the circumstance on the outside that needs to change, but the
condition on the inside...the condition of your heart.
