So as i said in yesterdays blog i got a new name, God’s name for me.  So as i was driveing over the causeway this afternoon God once again floored me.  So the past couple of weeks have been rough, months is actually a more correct time frame, anyhow I realized that overall i have just been very disappointed with God over this period of time for not giving me what “I needed” instead he was giving me what he “needed me to have” and buddy let me tell you those were 2 completely different things.  Anyhow as most of you know i had a dislocated hip and i think i still have it a little, but that besides the point, i was suck in bed with no tv, or computer for a week, nothing but me and a few books and God.  I was in my room like i said for the better part of the week….alone.  Then last night i got my new name.  So pack to the story, as i was driving over the causeway thinking, this came into my head and i thought about it, tell me if you are reminded of something you may have read a little while back in the bible. 

upset with God+ a fight + a broken hip + time alone with God+ a new name = Jacob or better yet Isreal… strange huh but awesome none the less, you guys can start calling me Jake if you want, or maybe better yet Issy, short for Isreal… You know that God built a great nation, His CHOOSEN nation from the name Isreal…I love Jesus
