My name is Emily, and WELCOME to my blog, 'The Song of The Sea'.
'The Song of The Sea' is found in Exodus 15 and it is a song of praise to
God for His Deliverance, Provision, and Love.
I decided on this name for my blog because when I was little I chose a Bible
name for myself, and it was Miriam. When the Israelites sang this song to worship
God, it was Miriam who led the women in singing and dancing, rejoicing in The LORD
and all of His Mercies. Another reason I chose this name was that it reflects my
Jewish heritage, by way of Eastern Europe. My Dad is half Jewish, so that makes me,
you guessed it, a quarter Jewish. I am so grateful the LORD has blessed me with this
in my blood, and that I am a part of the story. ( I hope that doesn't come across as pride.)
And the last, but not least, reason I chose 'The Song of The Sea', happens to be that I have
salt water in my veins. I love everything about the ocean, (except,of course, the pollution and
garbage : ). When I go inland, faraway from the water, I start to feel claustrophobic and
trapped. My siblings and I have happy memories of driving with my Dad,( he's a surfer and a real groovemeister at that)and looking for any passably good surf and wasting gasoline : ].
''Well, I believe that concludes today's tour, please exit carefully and watch your step.'' Teehee!
I look forward to hearing from you!
Affectionately,
Emily
