2Bclear or more to the point, 2Bcrystalclear....

Strange how something makes an impression on us, and it can have such a profound effect on us that it becomes us, we embrace it, it becomes our mantra....



Or was it maybe always meant to be, is it who we have always been, possibly even who we were born to be and through life and revelation of our own being we come to the knowledge that has always been us? Something possibly Sovreignly designed and destined for us from before the foundation of the world. Yes this is the belief to which I subscribe, and the reality that I live on a daily basis. Some might call it being comfortable in my own skin, The truth to which I subscribe is that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and that this truth allows me to know just how loved I am. And I awake again and it is just as true today as it was yesterday and more so as I sink down into the truth that has certainly set me free.
For many years I have known the meaning of my name:
Crystal: Brilliantly Clear
So what about it? Well for years I would say it means what you see is what you get because that was what it meant to me, and I didn't think much more about it! Oh until the giver of life came and completely changed my life around and I began to see meaning in even the smallest things. I was very interested as I looked into the bible how God would emphasize the meaning of a name and that it totally embodied who that person was. I then began to think of my own name and what that said about me? Yes what you see is what you get, but what does that mean and what impact is it meant to have on me and on those around me? I began to realize to be brilliantly clear meant being totally transparent, see through, no masks, no facades! And I knew that is how my life was intended to be lived out, not just for me, but for those around me who may not be able to as easily live that way. This is why my email, my car tag all reflect this saying 2Bclear, 2Bcrystalclear, O2Bcrystal clear, it is a reflection of who I am to be in Christ. And when I am living Spirit-Filled, is when I come closest to fulfilling who I was made to be. And as I have come to a new understanding of that, God has allowed me to again see a new meaning to my name to be Brilliantly clear, also says to me that I am free from sin, clear...Brilliantly Clear never to be judged on my sin, but now free 2Bclearly who I was made to be... no longer 2 just B Clear but 2Bcrystalclear.........

  1. I don't see you when I look at you, for you are crystal clear. I see Jesus, 'you' don't get in the way of him touching those around you because you live in the Spirit and clear from sin. love you my friend.

  2. You always have a way of spelling out a simple truth with all of its complexities! Your are clearly a follower of Christ and all of his truths. I was blessed to be given such a wonderful Mom-in-Christ. Be blessed in your freedom as we all should.
