Licking a stamp burns 10 calories. Just Saying.

Good morning starshine! The Earth says hello!

This morning I wanted to shoot something by ya. Nothing too deep, just something thats on my mind. Lately, I've actually been ahead on homework...WOO! So, consequently, I've had a tad bit of down time. In this downtime I've been curious about the orgin of my name and this is what I've come up with.

Simone - listen, hear
Nicole - people of victory
Amalio - Industrious

How cool is that. Now I was like, Industrious, thats kind of lame. The definition from dictionary.com says this:

industrious: working energetically and devotedly; hard-working; diligent: an industrious person.

So essentially my name says: I'm one who hears, a people of victory, and devotedly hardworking. How awesome is this idea if we apply it in a Christian light! Isn't that what we should all be striving towards? One who hears the needs of others, and hears the Word of God himself. One who lives like overwhelming victory is already ours through what Christ has done for us. And working energetically and devotedly for God! I LOVE THAT! This week I'm really going to challenge myself to live this out, and maybe you'd like to do the same?

THe definition of a Christian is a follower of Christ. A "little Christ" if you will. Lets really dive into what the definition of a follower of Christ. Lets really live that out! Can you imagine if 10 people truly did that, or 100. Imagine how drastically we could change the world around us.

So yeah, this is a little something that was on my mind. Nothing too heavy. Maybe you'll even look up the definition of your own name? I dont know. But this week dive into the definition of your faith. I think if you are earnestly seeking after what that means in your life, you'll be surprised at what you find.
