Random Thoughts... At dinner with my Girls, Obadiah & Origin...

Tonight at dinner with my girls, kind of a catch up dinner, After many years of not hanging out all at once. These were the girls In my street. We would Hang out, do each other's hair (well i was the hairdresser lol), laugh, cook, get in trouble & cry together..... Now that you have the history, we had a great night... Catching up:)

Our waiter came over and i immediately noticed his name was Obadiah

I said.. you have a bible name, so do i... I said you have a whole book in the bible... he said no.... my girls looked at me crazy saying they'd never heard of Obadiah before... I was persistent that it was a book in the bible, they were not convinced lol.... So i thought maybe i'm wrong lol. We googled it but the waiter then looked at me and said, he was a prophet but there's no book....

My friend texted me when she got home and said... i found the book of obadiah in the bible.... i came home and researched him again and found this:

Obadiah (pronounced /oʊbəˈdaɪə/, Hebrew: עבדיה‎ ʿObhadyah or in Modern Hebrew Ovadyah) is a Biblical theophorical name, meaning "servant of Yahweh" or "worshipper of Yahweh."[1] It is related to "Abdeel", "servant of God", which is also cognate to the Arabic name "Abdullah". The form of Obadiah's name used in the Septuagint is Obdios; in Latin it is Abdias. The Bishops' Bible has it as Abdi.

It Made me think.... His name means so much more than just Obadiah:)

But so often we go through life not Knowing the Origin of who we are. The starting point.... Thus we wonder around aimlessly sometimes because we just don't know..... Made me really sit and think about my roots, my beginning & It so ties in with the dinner i had with good old friends from the street i grew up in:)

It made me realize once again the importance of Not Forgetting where we come from in order to truly embrace where we are going!

The Origin of who i am, is so much more than just my name:)


Thanks Obadiah for reminding me tonight by simply carrying your name... Proudly:)

life.... what a beautiful journey!!!
