I hope I don't forget what I was going to share. Let's see....oh yeah, now I remember. Quick I got to write it down down before I forget again.
That's how I feel sometimes. Probably one of the biggest area of embarrassment is forgetting peoples name, especially those who make Brooklake Church their home church. I think it takes me about 15 times saying the person name and/or doing an activity with them, like hunting, shooting shotguns, going on a bike ride or being part of a class where discussion happens in small groups. Even then I struggle some times. Several people in the Brooklake Church family have been a big help to me, every time I greet them they say their name...I am deeply thankful for their understanding. In fact, I thank them for it. There are some people who can remember a name after only one time meeting people. I do admire them and jealous of them. There is one area that I don't have a problem remembering, it's numbers... I don't know why but I can remember numbers without any problem. Now won't it be great if every person, instead of having a name had a number? Okay, I know that would be weird. "...the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name."Isa 45:3 When I read God knows every person who has lived and will live, by name that is beyond comprehension...billions of names. So when I talk to Him I don't have to remind Him of my name. He already knows me. In fact He knows me better than I know myself. That's why I can trust Him, even when I feel embarrassed over my forgetfulness...He even knows that.
