useless sleep

have you ever had one of those nights where you feel like you close your eyes and then the next thing you know your alarm is going off?
good morning america, i know how you feel!
that happened to me this morning. my alarm went off and i had had dream after dream back-to-back about apparently nothing worth remembering and then i woke up thinking "7:00 already?? what the crap, did i even sleep??"

yeah. i'm foreseeing a nap in the near future. yeah.

alright. i guess i ought to leave you with at least a little bit of a deeper thought for the day. so i found the most beautiful name and fully intend to use it, maybe when i have a daughter? well.... idk. i used to say i'm never having kids but have since come to admit that i'm obviously having kids eventually.. so i was like ... ok, ONE kid. but now, i think i have to have at least 2 because i have names for 2 girls! and i'd like to have a boy too.... oh goodness ok before i get carried away..

so the name for my first girl i want to be Bryna Jedidah. both are hebrew... Bryna means strength and Jedidah means beloved. but the other day, i latched onto the most gorgeous name for a girl! it's Charis.
Charis is the greek word for grace, but really it means so much more than that. i had looked it up in my study time while studying a passage dealing with God's grace, and the translation of the word is:

• graciousness of manner
• divine influence upon the heart & its reflection upon the life
• acceptable, benefit, favor, gift, grace, joy, liberality (liberation), thanks, or thanks-worthy.

seriously... amazing much? i'm in love with this name. i think the "a" is supposed to be more of a soft "o" sound, like in "drama" ... but i like it better long, like in Karen. so the name will be "Kar-riss". Charis.
