Christmas Kairos! is when Jesus came! Christmas means anointed and sent, and Jesus is the Anointed One, Sent by God to destroy the works of the devil and redeem people from every tongue, tribe and nation! Kairos means the right or critical time and has come to mean God's appointed or opportune time. "But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son...." Galatians 4. I see Christmas Kairos as anointed and sent for such a time as this! We are Christmas Kairos!
I am the "Found'Dear" of BACK Forrest Fullaunthrop'E! I love to recreate words to emphasize meaning. "Found'Dear" is the best name to pin on me because that is exactly what I have done. Everything I am pursuing and twining together I have FOUND DEAR--dear to the heart of GOD. There is nothing new under the sun, but there is always something new to be done!
My Mother (Evelyn) named me Kelly when I was born on February 1st, 1973. Right before my 52nd birthday, I legally changed my name to A Christmas Kelly'E!
Sharing "Good News of Great Joy with All People" is my life purpose (Luke 2:10) Christmas means anointed and sent, it made sense to me that I would be "called by my calling" A Christmas Kelly'E! I have known most of my life that Kelly means warrior, and since 24/7 prayer for all nations is part of the battle plan God has given me to pursue, A Christmas Kelly'E! (Anointed & Sent Warrior!) fits the vision!
The 'E! in Kelly'E! I added foremost for my Mother Evelyn, whose name means "light &life" and who almost always signed her name "E".
'E! is for Enthusiast! I sign Kelly'E! with an exclamation mark as Mother was an Enthusiast! &lived her life like an exclamation mark!
'E! is for Ebenezer! who was completely transformed in Charles Dickens' Christmas classic, A Christmas Carol. On my father's side of the family, there are (4) Ebenezers that I know of--beginning with my Great Grandfather and ascending up from him. Ebenezer means "stone of help" which is terrific as I was born in "Little Rock"!
'E! is for Epiphany! which means "revelation" or "manifestation" and commemorates the WISE MAGI's visit to worship Jesus and present him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, and also commemorates the Gospel going to the Gentiles--the Nations! The holiday Epiphany! celebrates this each January 6, following the 12 Days of Christmas.
'E! is for Emmanuel, GOD WITH US. My always and forever most cherished name of GOD. He is WITH me. WITH is my favorite word!
'E! is for Everything! and Everyone! from my life motto: PINECONE! Pour IN Everything! Cheer ON Everyone!
'E! is for Eric Liddell, the 1924 Summer Olympics GOLD Medalist in the 400 Meter Race whose life inspires me to "run in such a way as to get the prize". 1 Corinthians 9:24
When I was 4, I decided to love and follow Jesus with my whole heart for my whole life.* Knowing Him from my earliest memories and walking with Him by faith my entire life is my Greatest Joy and Treasure, and is the reason I am passionate about Children (and all peoples everywhere!) having the opportunity to know Him like I do! I am not unusual. Most people who decide to follow Jesus do so between the ages of 4-14.
