I stumbled across your blog while "...Rebekah,<br /><br />I stumbled across your blog while "surfing" a bit this afternoon. Truthfully it was your name that drew me in. Then I came to this older post you wrote. <br /><br />Our twin daughters are named Rebecca and Hope, And our Rebecca goes by "Becca" -- we didn't want "Becky"! Becca's identical twin sister "Hope" was born with catastrophic damage and passed from life support to life eternal after two days. There are posts at my blog (linked to my name) from May 2008 that tell more of that story.<br /><br />And do I see that your name is "Rebekah Ward"?! Our last name is Ward. If right, that's just ... well... weird... and maybe a God-thing.alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05413930979508026433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4073081242561127257.post-25565557764556946712011-07-01T10:56:50.943-07:002011-07-01T10:56:50.943-07:00dang that is powerful stuff. i think it's amaz...dang that is powerful stuff. i think it's amazing how God totally takes the things we see and turns them upside down sometimes. i love this story of change.kelly summershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415479712347255012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4073081242561127257.post-20928117501393277192011-06-23T20:20:39.690-07:002011-06-23T20:20:39.690-07:00ah yes, i forgot I have an email I never use as my...ah yes, i forgot I have an email I never use as my facebook account email. I never intended for this to be a serious account, so I forgot about that.

I hunted down your email and sent it to you - at least I think so? <br /><br />Rebekah with the "H" is the biblical spelling. My parents say the "ah" sound has something to do with the breath of God in a name - Hence "Sar-AH" and "Abra-HA-m". But I wish I could put into text how my high school biology teacher pronounced it - now that was priceless.Rebekah Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05621414007953219061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4073081242561127257.post-77645002687734966462011-06-22T21:53:45.455-07:002011-06-22T21:53:45.455-07:00I actually checked FaceBook before I posted this c...I actually checked FaceBook before I posted this comment to be sure you had already posted the link ;)<br /><br />My story is similar, but in the other direction. I was ashamed of my given name, but the Lord changed that (http://afterfb.blogspot.com/2011/03/change.html) and I knew i had to own the name He gave me.<br /><br />Also, on a personal note, I always read Rebekah longer in my head than Rebecca, probably because of the H at the end.Zechariah 4:6https://www.blogger.com/profile/13289206801676933292noreply@blogger.com
