He Changes Everything

September 13, 2011

Clothed only in His righteousness…

So… i’ll answer to just about anything.  
But, my dearest Friend now calls me Makala.  



Makala: (mah KAH lah) is Hawaiian. It means to loosen; to set at liberty; to remit (forgive, pardon, condone, absolve, excuse) i.e., to cancel or refrain from inflicting or enforcing, as a punishment, sentence, to pardon or forgive (a sin or offense).


This is what G_d has done in my life.  And He reinforced this by actually giving me this name many months ago.  i tucked the word away in my memory after it came to me clearly (spelling and all) one day during prayer.  Sometime later, though, i looked it up on the web.  You can imagine the wonderful sense of surprise i felt when the results came back from the search!


But check this out… Makala is also of Hebrew origin.

Standing only in His strength…


Makala: From the Hebrew root: Michael, meaning “Who is like God?” In art St. Michael is often represented as an angelic warrior, fully armed with helmet, sword, and shield, as he overcomes – by the power of G_d – the adversary and asks the rhetorical and scornful question: Quis ut Deus? (Who is like G_d?)



He has changed so many things in my life.  i just had no idea He was going to actually change my name.

So, there it is… i’ll answer to just about anything.  
But, my dearest Friend now calls me Makala.
