My Name
What comes to mind when you hear the name Abraham Lincoln? Cleopatra? Amelia Erhart? When you hear those names, doesn’t a whole story come to mind? A president, a queen…an adventurer. With just the mention of their name you know exactly who I am talking about. Well, my name is Lisa Brown….and my name has a whole story as well. Orphan, victim, adopted daughter, preacher’s wife, divorced, mother, cancer survivor…I could go on and on. You know, I believe that names aren’t just a way to keep people organized….they are titles to people’s life. When I hear about David, I know that with all of his shortcomings and failures, he was a man after God’s own heart...a picture of God’s grace. When I hear Bathsheba, I think of her story of lust, betrayal, murder…and then a picture of mercy. When I hear my name, Lisa Marie Brown, I see a picture of redemption. What does your name mean to you? At the end of the day, it really isn’t about what my name says about me….it is really about what my name says about Him.
