TO EVERYONE WHO HAS NO IDEA HOW TO PRONOUNCE HAPLOUS
(hap-loose)! đš
A few years ago I had a random idea to make a simple bracelet. I wanted to give it an interesting name which meant âsimple,â so I started googling the word simple in different languages. To my surprise, a Bible dictionary definition was the first search result. And guess what the word was? â¨
You guessed it! Haplous. Haplous is a Greek word used in two of the Gospels meaning, simple, sound, perfect. What was even WEIRDER is that the placeholder in this particular Bible dictionary was 573--which is the area code of my small hometown in Missouri--so Iâm like ummmm OKAY GOD I HEAR YOU! What do You want me to do with this? â¨
Fast forward almost three years later and (no) I have not made a bracelet, BUT I have been blessed enough to start something here with all of you. â¨SO here is what I hope Haplous will be:
1. A place where your life can start to make some sense in a world where almost everything we are told by modern society is essentially the opposite of how God intended for us to live our lives.
2. A COMMUNITY! Yes. This is my greatest hope for Haplous. I want to hear from you! If you love a particular post or want to hear more about a topic or just want to say hey because you need a friend from afar--Iâm your girl. Haplous is an extension of me right now, but I hope to make it a âWE.â God has done so much in my life over the past three years and I want all of you to be able to access that type of transformation in your own lives. So Iâm here! Keeping things simple for ya đ
