whats in a name?

As I sat at my desk yesterday creating my blog profile i was stumped with what to name it. Already nervous of the outcome I was presented with my first road block. Now, for anyone who knows me the simplicity of creating a blog name was about to become life and death for me. A creature of habit by nature can sometimes make the most simplist concepts a science project...but I guess that is a piece of me that makes me special. More often than not, i am inspired through bits and pieces of memory that appear to me in the present...ok, ok I am accepting the fact that the spirit of God lives in me and I hear the still small voice on a regular. At my desk about to consider the fact that I cant come up with a username as a sign to discontinue the thought of blogging, a song that i remember hearing before but couldnt quite sing the words rang so clearly in my head. That song is titled: Even Me. The only portion of the song that I remember is: Even Me, Lord. Not much to go on huh? So with the investigative nature that I have, I googled the lyrics to the song and sat in awe. I looked up towards the heaven and my spirit said: Even Me? and the response received was: Even Ebony. And that is how "we" came up with the name associated with this blog. This taught me a very valuable lesson of trusting God to provide me what I need when I need it and sometimes a move of faith will put you in the position to hear the next move. Although I still dont know what will come of this blog, I will nake a faith declaration that: God is Good All the Time and All the Time....yall know the rest. Now let the church say: Amen.lol. For reference below are the words to Even Me:

I don’t deserve, the love You’ve shown
The blood You’ve shed, covers my wrong
Beyond my faults, Oh, Lord You see,
And said You’d still use, use even me

Oh, Lord I’ve tried, to do my best
Although sometimes, I do much less
You’ve called my name and, and I ran away
But still You called me another day

Yes, even me Lord, even me
Though scarred and broken, and unworthy
My guilty stains, You washed them clean
And said You’d still use, use even me

Sometimes I fall, and make mistakes
But brand new mercies, You show everyday
You are my strength, when I get weak
And out of the darkness, You lifted me

Yes, even me Lord, even me
Though scarred and broken, and unworthy
My guilty stains, You washed them clean
And said You’d still use, use even me

Oh, even me, even me, Lord use even me
Though I’m scarred and broken, scarred and broken, and unworthy
My guilty stains, You washed them clean
But You coulda used anybody else, anybody else, but Lord, You still used me
