Name Change: Deliberate Enrichment

For quite some time, I have been wanting to change the name of my blog. I had kept the original name for just over a year. Up until I had changed it, I had been trying to come up with names in my head for a couple of weeks. I was really struggling with it as well. Coming up with a new name is a difficult task.

'31 Reasons,' to me ended up being kind of silly name to me. The name made sense but it sounded so much like the '13 Reasons Why' TV series on Netflix.

When trying to come up with a new name, I wanted the name to not have anything to do with myself. This blog isn't about me, it's about the encouragement of other people.

The new name I came up with is 'Deliberate Enrichment.' How did I come up with those two words? I looked up as many synonyms to the words 'consistent and encouragement' as I possibly could. I wanted a title that sounded intense and caught the eye.

What does each word mean?

Deliberate: done consciously and intentionally

Enrichment: the action of improving or enhancing the quality or value of something

I believe with all of my heart that God wants me to deliberately put in the time and effort to write a blog as consistently as I can. Whether that's 7 days a week or 5 days a week, I know that it is what God wants me to do. I get an unexplainable amount of fulfillment from each post that I write because I get to have alone time with God doing what I feel He wants me to do. I hope and pray that what I write can enrich somebody's life. Not by what I say, but of what the Holy Spirit gives me to say. I hope that the words given to me and the stories I can share can give value to areas in other peoples lives. Not for my glory but for God's glory.

All of that being said, 'Deliberate Enrichment,' seems like the best possible name for my blog and I hope that after I shared this, you now understand what the title means. I believe the title makes perfect sense to the content that is in each blog.

 As I was writing this post, I was sitting here thinking about each post I write and sometimes I look back and wonder if I really wrote it...Deliberate Enrichment.

I want to close with this verse:

Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. 
(1 Thessalonians 5:11)
