Day 10: The Meaning of My Name and What It Means to Me
My name is Lori Michelle
Lori is a diminutive of Laura which is a feminine form of the Latin name Laurus, meaning "Laurel". In Roman times, crowns of laurel leaves were put on the heads of victors.
Michelle is a french, feminine form of the Hebrew name Michael which means "Who is like the Lord?" It's important to note the question mark in this meaning. In my research, the meaning suggests that it is a rhetorical question because NO ONE is like God. Amen.
Amen. I think we all know that I certainly am not!
But I DO strive to be. Not because I want to earn anything from Him but because I want to thank Him for the incredible GIFT of salvation and continued blessings on my life. As much as I have done to destroy it, sometimes intentionally and sometimes unintentionally, His unfailing love continues and His mercy is unending.
Therefore, I'll continue to try and live up to my name. And my first name implies, that I will be victorious at it!
