Well there Adrian and I were sitting in a Starbucks in West Covina at about 10pm. We had been sitting there all evening trying to create our website. If you know us personally, you know this was not an easy task. I am a perfectionist and want to rule out all options before making a final decision (even if it text color!) and Adrian on the other hand thinks everything looks good and can't tell the difference between off white and antique white (critical decisions here people).
Adrain was tired, I was delirious acting a fool, so of course we had fun yet accomplished nothing, Kinda felt like nursing school days. We were finding fonts for our blog and there was one called 'Barouke'. No idea what the font looked like, but Adrian kept saying 'Barouke' and of course I thought it was funny and some how we came to the idea that 'we are Barouke'. We liked it. Half serious but half as a joke I told Adrian we should name our blog that. She looked at me crazy so then of course I was 100% serious that should be our name. Tired, ready to go and probably annoyed with my delirium she agreed. And there Barouke was born. A bit as a joke, but hey we didn't have to tell anyone what it meant, right? Well we Googled it. It's an antique style of furniture. Eh, we will just make up a story if someone asks.
Little did we know that although we were laughing and thought the name was great, God was looking down laughing at us, saying you idiots you have no idea what that even means!
Well, Sheree text me today and told me that Barouke in Hebrew (spelled differently in the Hebrew language but pronounced the same) means Blessed! Crazy right?
No we are not an old antique furniture, nor will we restore your furniture, but blessed, that we truly are.
It's the little things in this whole adventure and journey from day 1 that remind me that God is saying, "Go! I have already gone before you, just go. I have plans for you, big plans. Trust me. Go."
