My maiden name...I did the same thing with Niki! :)<br /><br />My maiden name was Nikki Wood. There was a girl in the grade below me - a girl who was always getting called to the office OVER THE INTERCOM for being in trouble - named Nikki Woods. Yeah. I was forever getting called to the office. I'd get there, and they'd say, "Oh, honey, not YOU!" and send me back to class. Seriously??? In fact, EVERY Nikki I've ever gone to school with spelled their name with two Ks. B-O-R-I-N-G! <br /><br />So I took a K out of my name, which was totally doable because Niki was just a nickname anyway, and there's only 1 K in Nikalas. Done and done. We get weird about our names, don't we? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660611000683694658.post-64252195005138200032015-11-09T16:09:23.479-06:002015-11-09T16:09:23.479-06:00I love this post!

You have put beautiful words to an ache that's been in my heart for years and the reason I began my blog, Recovering Church Lady. I don't know why we make it so hard, do you? God loves us...period. Why do we set up so many obstacles to that truth? Maybe it's easier to think we can earn His love. Don't get it at all. Thanks for finding me on FB, I am so happy to connect with you!

I am so glad to see things going this way. Most of my friends I grew up with in the church have nothing to do with it anymore, and I totally see why. I chose to become a pastor and work to change it from the inside. Frustrating but very rewarding work. <br /><br />I love the way you both think and write. Slowly but surely, I am finding "my people." Keep thinking and writing, folks. You're contributing important stuff to the dialog about what the church should be.
