YHWH

You probably saw the title of this post and thought what in the world or she probably mistyped something. But no, I did not. As you'll see in the quote below, YHWH, are the Hebrew letters for God. How cool is that?

“The letters of the name of God in Hebrew… are infrequently pronounced Yahweh. But in truth they are inutterable….

This word {YHWH} is the sound of breathing.

The holiest name in the world, the Name of Creator, is the sound of your own breathing. That these letters are unpronounceable is no accident. Just as it is no accident that they are also the root letters of the Hebrew verb ‘to be’… God’s name is name of Being itself.”

~Rabbi Lawrence Kushner

This may be my new favorite quote. I printed it off and glued it in my journal and Bible. 

Dampening that subject-- it's finals week here and I'm buried deep in study guides, text books, and lecture notes. Pray for me please!!! 

Also got our first snow day yesterday! Class was canceled and I got to sleep in, how nice is that?!

Best wishes,
