I was reading an article and a woman said her daily prayer was a plea..."Please, God, pick another name." "She imagined a celestial hand reaching into the hat, the sound of shuffling papers as we hold our collective breath, waiting. Who will be next? Who ever knows?"
It is a weight off my back knowing that I do not even think my name is in God's hat...in fact my God does not have a hat nor dole out experiences this way. My God is there waiting to lend me an ear when life dumps a load in my vacinity.
For me, life is life. It unfolds based on choices and flukes. We have total control over our choices...but accidents...well...they're accidents. You cannot say, I accidently choose the wrong mate...but you could say I accidently ran over him 3 times. LOL
If you were to live by choice, then the outcomes are ones you either embrace or learn from...it isn't something to blame on God's Will. God is there as a non judgemental listening pole...so the idea of asking him/her to pick another name...well, it does not make sense to me. If you are asking a question of God...you really are asking the wrong "person." If it is a question...then it is a question that should be asked of yourself and answered by yourself.
God actually gave you the power to pick or not pick your own name...each and every day...so do I say...
Good Luck or Good Choice?
