The importance of a name

 

Today, I want to share the importance of choosing a name for your homeschool. I will also go into detail how my name In- Yah became to be. Most people in my life know me as Monique, which means advisor. Growing up though I was called another name (Tiffany, which means the manifestation of God)by family members and friends outside of school. I was called that name by accident, due to a mistake on my birth certificate. That was the name that was given by my parents, however Yah had a chosen name for me. I share this to say that the names we call ourselves will shape how we will walk in this world. The name InYah came about because I saw it as the original name of someone who arrived in the Americas on slave ships. InYah means to be In Yah(Yahuah). That's where I want to be in my life not only for myself but for my children.  With homeschooling I made sure that I chose a right name for it, so they can understand how important our words are. My homeschool name is based on this verse 1Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation a royal priesthood, and holy nation, a peculiar people that us should forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. I believe that our generation is called to do differently and step outside the box. With homeschooling I am able to shape the minds of our children so they can grow up to be modest young men and women. I can see where my children fall short and teach them the right way. I’m able to tell them about their history, the great things that our people have done as well as the downfalls. Should you ever decide to homeschool, let the name of it have meaning so that it can reflect in your child. In a way I guess I was called to do this because of my name. I kicked against it because of course insecurities creep in and remind me of my flaws. But knowing that I can teach my children the correct way to go keeps me going.  Lastly in the scriptures you see Jacob’s name (which means supplanted) had to be changed to Israel (which means Yah Prevails) Before his name changed, he did something’s that lived up to his name (tricking Esau out of the birth right). This is why our names, and the names of our homeschools are so important. I hope I have provoked some though today and I hope its impactful in every area of your life. Peace❤
