The origin of my name is from Jeremiah and I just found this on wikipedia:
"Jeremiah is also famous as "the broken-hearted prophet" (who wrote or dictated a "broken-hearted book", which has been difficult for scholars to put into chronological order), whose heart-rending life, and true prophecies of dire warning went largely unheeded by the people of Israel."
How ironic...
Yet my name does mean "Appointed by God". If being appointed by God means I have to be heart-broken a lot, then I say *breathes deeply* "OK, here I am. Take me through it...". After all, His grace IS sufficient for me!
I also found out that Jeremiah had the gift of celibacy (through my bibles commentary), something I didn't inherit along with that name. LOL.
About Me
- Jeremy
- "We are pressed on every side [troubled and oppressed in every way], but not cramped or crushed; we suffer embarrassments and are perplexed and unable to find a way out, but not driven to despair; We are pursued (persecuted and hard driven), but not deserted; we are struck down to the ground, but never struck out and destroyed; Always carrying about in the body the liability and exposure to the same putting to death that the Lord Jesus suffered, so that the life of Jesus also may be shown forth by and in our bodies. For we who live are constantly [experiencing] being handed over to death for Jesus' sake, that the [resurrection] life of Jesus also may be evidenced through our flesh which is liable to death. Thus death is actively at work in us, but [it is in order that our] life [may be actively at work] in you." - 2 Corinthians 4:8-12(Amp)
