I have. About 4 years ago, mummzy and I were at church meeting the staff. This guy came up to me asking me for my name, so I said, 'Joey'..right? Lol and he confused it for 'Joy'! haha and I corrected him, and he laughed.. So after the thingy, he had told me later that, "By God's grace, I confused your name for a reason."

When I told mummzy about this, she told me that, "Someday that name will mean something to you!" and as an unbeliever at the time, I was like blah blah blahhh lol.. Welp!! I'm writing this now telling you that, that guy and me mum were so right!! I've been given permanent joy!! It's insane how that name has become my reputation! Have you found your prophetic name? Or a name that sticks out of yuh?

Golden boy. It was given to me by two different people who gave it to me years apart out of jealousy of my faith. And when I heard it the second time I knew I must be that even though they both said I think I am that name. But I am.

I've always held a strong belief that our birth name is very important. My name is Janet and it means "God's gracious gift" and in other places you find it means "Grace of God". Grace is a very important when we consider God and His grace. I am a gracious w oman and find that the person is more important than any negative action. I love my children and if they spilled or broke something, even something treasured, I kow that it is only stuff. Spills can be wiped up and treasures remembered or even replaced with a new "treasure" (something material). People and kind words and loving words are what I know as Grace. Jesus is our Gracious gift of God. I thank God that He guided my parents to my name.

Also, I put alot of meaning into my two daughters name. Their names are derived from caring and sharing. Thus, Cari and Shari. They know and understand that their names were purposefully chosen and thus, they are caring and sharing women. I also told them the reason there is no "NG" in their name is because God has "No Grandchildren".

I would not call it prophetic, but my hubby calls me Marysunshine quite often.
God bless, pickles

ps, one could consider pickles, it could mean to preserve, save.
