A name defines who your are in the world and it is everything when it is that first impression. When I tell people what the name of my business/blog I always hear that I need a name shorter. I always wonder how people come up with names, slogans, or business titles. Most are extremely creative, whimsical, and self defining. For example: I know a lady at my kiddoes school who is opening a booth at Canton Trades Days and it is called, "No Girls Allowed!" Everywhere we shop there are TONS of cute things for girls. BUT, you never see things for boys! Thus, "No Girls Allowed"...it's all boy stuff. Is that not the cutest name for her business?
When I began thinking about monogramming one of the first things that I tried to do was come up with a cute, catchy, creative name. Don't you just love when the creativity DOESN'T flow fluidly? I would sit in front of the computer for hours just typing in names and nothing seemed to fit. I knew I wanted "wild" somewhere in the name because that is what catagorizes my creativity. The puzzle pieces SLOWLY came together to make the name, Wild About You, Too!. It just popped into my head, but there was really no rhyme or reason for the name.
Don't you just love how God works? Months after I began my VERY SMALL hobby/business my mom sent a small devotional to my daughter who had just been rejected by a club soccer team. Devastated, she read the article and balled as she held the article in her sweet hands while she was in my arms. TALK about heart broken!!! My heart hurt just as much or more!!! After she left the room I found the article that my mom sent her. I read it. Do you know how sometimes when YOU try to put the puzzle together yourself, but there a few puzzle pieces that are missing? Out of no where I felt God handing me the puzzle pieces that I had been looking for.
Here is what my puzzle looked like. Attending a mega-church my pastor's sermons were wonderful. When he came to chapters of people of whom their names were difficult to read, he would just say "hard name, hard name" and skipped over them. In many of the books of the bible Ezra 2, Nehemiah, God listed the specific names of generations of people. Their names were not too hard for Him! He named them and he knew them! Jeremiah 1:5 says, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you." So, really who am I? What does it really matter what I do or how I live? Who really cares? GOD does! He is fascinated with every little thing about us! God knows the number of hairs on our head and is fascinated by every little thing about us. Even our name! He is WILD ABOUT YOU, TOO!
