It started as a goofy thing...my nick-name, Sue Bee....
"Awake, awake, Deborah!
Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise...
lead your captives away...”
Judges 5:12
I was working at a ginormous County Office of Education...and I started signing off all of my emails as “Sue Bee.” Get it? Sue Bee...Sue B....Sue Boldt. Silly huh?
Nevertheless, God works in amazing ways. Years later, while reading the story of Israel’s judge Deborah (Judges 4-50) I heard His still small voice telling me, I....was a Deborah. One who is not only in the midst of battle, but training others to do go and see their enemy vanquished. I hope this doesn’t sound pretentious, however, Jesus was confirming again what He had already spoken over my life, what He had impassioned me for, designed me for...and equipped me for.
And then I read my Bible’s notes. The meaning of the name, Deborah...is “honey bee.”
All this to say...He has a name, a calling for you. If you aren’t sure of it yet...look for the little things He is doing and saying around you. Lean into His presence...He will make it all clear.
