What does your name mean?

After reading Genesis 27, I came across this question :

In Old Testament times, names like Isaac (‘laughter’) or Jacob (‘grasper’) carried a great significance. Do you know what your name means? Does the description fit you? If not, what kind of descriptive name would fit you better?

Well, my name is Hannah (quite obvious) & when I searched the internet for the meaning of my name, it mostly popped out to be the GRACE of God or favor. There’s no surprise there since Hannah (in 1 Samuel) did asked God for a son to bear. & she did bear a child – Samuel in the favor of God. & also, by God’s grace, she had the child. :)

To think of the meaning and see how it fits me as a person, I guess it does link. By God’s grace, I was born & also brought up in a healthy family. Blessed with many good memories, family members and friends. Food and clothes. All the necessities were blessed by Him and even additional ‘luxury’ here and there. By His grace and His favor, I did not let myself simply live my life without Him totally influencing me. He was always there even through my rebellion days, how? Well, quite obviously I’m still alive. I did had doubt of living but I pulled through, through His love for me.

I might be a disgrace to the name. But I really love my name and its meaning, and I thank Him each day that my parents gave me such a beautiful name. (even though Hannah Montana corrupted my name) I would not and could not ask for a better name to describe me as a child of God. <3

This image is pretty flattering.. haha! :) but it IS quite true. though I TOTALLY decline the fact that I’m born to shop. SO NOT TRUE! sorry for the POOR quality.. I’ll type down what it says here :

I’ve survived..

Holiday is here!! :) [2 weeks only & I’m rejoicing?]

I have to get myself organized during this SHORT period of time. Technically I only have less than a week to do my homework and stuff. Because I have Easter camp and Alpha camp! How exciting is that? Soon my blog will be filled with pictures, I hope.

Anyway, 1 school term has passed. & I survived [not with my head held up high but still, I survived]

I’m really worried about how I’ll go into my next term and the following terms after that! Then here comes the big exam. Though I usually don’t allow these sort of ‘exams’ to break me down, so why nervous now? Hmm.. Guess maybe I just want to make my parents proud. & by doing so, a much higher grade should be expected of me. I can do this, but I’m so not used to studying. Dislike it. Can’t wait to get out of studying zone. UGH!

Everything around me seems to be falling apart. I hope I can still hold on to those that is dear to me. But if I’m the only one holding on, soon, it’ll be impossible to NOT let go. It will soon wear me out & soon it’ll just rip me apart as well.

Had a bad dream last night. But I know it is merely a dream so it doesn’t really bother me, but to think that it might come true, I guess I just have to brace myself for it.

I practically woke up like this, felt like my whole body turned numb then jie woke up screaming too. Well, it was a bad dream night for the both of us. At least I didn’t wake up with tears in my eyes and soaked up my pillow. that would have been dreadful!

Sometimes when I get bad dreams such this, I’ll wonder why and what have I done the day before that might have made this happened. I think I got my answer. :/ oh well!

I can’t always pull the blanket up at night when I feel cold. It disturbs my sleep and it also makes a loud rumbling noise which disturb Jie too. I guess I just have to get used to the cold. It is only better that way.

Love, Hannah
