Many of you want to know what happened to Jasmine. I just up and changed my name on you guys one day and now you're confused...or just curious. Here's the truth of why I changed my name. I didn't just make it up randomly. I didn't just decide to be...(I'm about to offend someone!!!)...white. (Even though some of you truly believe that I'm striving to be)
I changed it because God changed it. I never asked for a name change. I wasn't expecting it. He just called me Sarah while I was in the secret place (Song of Songs 2:14) in January of 2009. I was really thrown off by it. Sarah?!?!?! Who the heck is Sarah?? I'm Jasmine!! But, it became extremely consistent. I would be spending time with Jesus and He's call me Sarah. Not Jasmine. Not Carter or any other nickname I may have picked up along the way. Sarah. Sarah!
It finally dawned on me after a while. I am Sarah! I rejected it almost as quick as the revelation came. I've always heard the name Sarah associated with the phase,"Mother of many". I didn't want children!! Sarah by no means fit me!
I met an amazing man of the Lord in 09, Joshua, who explained the meaning of the name. Sarah means "Princess". Not Mother of many but, Princess!! So I stopped fighting the Lord and received it. I just didn't tell too many people.
Since then, I've learned that the name also means, Mother of kings. And now, I want children so its okay! Its also the highest form of adoption to me. To give a child your name is powerful and breaks off the Orphan spirit every time and places the Spirit of Adoption over that child's life. The Lord have Abram and Sarai His name! JehovAH. AbrAHam. SarAH. (Genesis 17)
In July of this year, I felt like I needed a name change. Completely. Jasmine has been dying since December of 09 and Sarah's coming to the surface. Through the flames of the dying old flesh (Jasmine) a new woman is being forged and will be stepping out of the hep of ashes. Out of the ash and simmering coals Sarah will be coming completely forward. I am Sarah!
