What’s in a name? By Karen Collum
I have been known by a number of names in my life. At birth I was named Karen Marie Webb. When I married, I traded Webb for Collum. As a teacher, I have been known as Miss Webb and Mrs. Collum.
When I think about myself, I think of myself as Kammy. It’s who I am!
There are many names for God in the Bible. He is El Shaddai – God Almighty; Jehovah-Rophe – The Lord who heals; El-Olam – God Everlasting.
God has a favourite name too. He asks us to call Him ‘Abba’ which is translated to ‘Father’ or ‘Daddy’.
“For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of Sonship.
And by
Him we cry,
‘Abba, Father’." Spend some time with your Heavenly Dad – He’d love to hear from you!

My
favourite name of all is Kammy. My younger brother mispronounced ‘Karen’
and it stuck. Kammy is a very personal name to me. It’s the name used by
people who love me.
