Why did you choose the username you did?

[ServantJohn]

I wanted to be grounded in Scripture, always hoping to use that as my source.

Good reason.

A love that once consumed me...an unforgettable fire.

Didn't know it was the name of a U2 song, but I get why you chose it. I pray that that love will consume you once again.

It is whom I am.

Does the dr stand for doctor or is it your first and middle initials?

Source, what do you mean by "partner"?

Fair question but worried where this might go.

Sorry, I'm confused on what you are intending to say. Something my wife used to say to me comes to mind,"I said what I meant and I meant it the way I said it." LOL. I still didn't know what she meant even when she said that.

good to see yourself as a servant.

Oh OK LOL. A funny story. I was at a Christian ministry years ago and this guy said he wanted me to do something but I wasn't sure what he meant, and I smiled and replied something to the effect that I couldn't cause I was working on something right then with another Christian brother. Later, the brother I was working with told me he had a lot of respect for me on how I handled the situation. I asked,"What do you mean?" He said,"That you wouldn't fight the guy when he called you out." I was like,"Oh that's what he wanted me to do." LOL

Now that's the way to pick a name! If I did that, it would be Minn Kota.

 

[talitha]

Years ago a friend gave me a tape of John and Paula Sandford speaking about the slumbering spirit. I completely recognized myself in the description they gave, and I began to pray for the Lord to "wake me up". I was reading in the Bible one day, and I came to the story about the girl that Jesus said was "not dead... only sleeping", and noticed that when he awakened her, he called her Talitha (meaning something along the lines of "damsel", I think), and it hit me - I am this girl. I felt the Lord was speaking to me saying as he did to her, "Talitha, wake up!" So the story really spoke to me, and I kept the name and started using it everywhere as a user name because it ministered to me......

OK, you win. Just kidding, it's not a competition, but that's an awesome testimony.

hmmm. FindingNemo37 doesn't quite have the same ring LOL. Oh yea, and Finding Nemo is my favorite movie, not my kids'.

 

[Tobias]

I thought I'd be all cool and creative, so I thumbed through the Apocrypha till I remembered the story of Tobias from the book of Tobit.

I've noticed yours before and wondered where it came from. I thought it was a pretty cool name then and still do.

Thank you.

Just a follow up -- In the Book of Tobit, Tobias travels with the angel Raphael on his quest. Considering I have had encounters with angels that I myself consider questionable, I figured naming myself after a character from a questionable book was appropriate!

Also, in the story Tobias casts a demon out of the woman he would marry. I have spent years in the Deliverance ministry. He is also given the wisdom to make a salve that healed his father's blindness. It is my greatest desire to heal God's people using the wisdom the Father would show me!


Wow, I haven't thought about this for years! I guess the name fits me better than I realized.
