He called My Name

This was part of our Bible Study today.  Although I have heard the concept and know the scripture, today it registered with me in a different way. When God called my name, did He call me by my given name or does He have a different name for me.
You see, thru out scripture there is so much emphasis on names and the meaning of names.  The children of Israel had many names for God, those names described His many characteristics. One of my favorite scriptures is Psalm 9:10

Those who know Your Name will put their trust in You.
For You Lord have not forsaken those who seek You.

So today I'm thinking, when He called MY name, what did that mean.

I took out a framed print given to us by Mischel with the meaning of our names on it.
Today it had a new meaning for me as I read thru the list:

Patricia: from the Latin root Patrick; a feminine form of patrick
(that is an interesting thought, considering I married a patrick)
Patrick  (nobleman) Patricia (of the nobility)
so far I'm liking this train of thought, lets continue

Expression: beautiful eyes, soft like the moonlight of spring
Personality: a person who attracts the best in life
Natural: has a special glamour and power all her own
Emotional: one whose love is concentrated on her family
Character: one who is dependable, practical and reliable
Physical: she feels justice should be fair
Mental: is imaginative and idealistic in nature
Motivation: she has many leadership qualities

Well, I can agree with some of this and am flattered by most of it.

So you,  my family can see if any of these traits are descriptions you would use for me.

Maybe we should do a "name" study for each of you?

When God calls your name.......will you be listening?
