Wah-becca

So I have acquired more nicknames here than I truly expected! The normal “Becca” which I am accustomed to hear, Rebequita (which is a nickname given with affection) and from that a few more variations:

*Bequita (which I am not as fond of, maybe because it is close to Becky, which I love for other people, but it just never fit me)
*Bebequita (from a combo of my name and bebe or in English: baby)
*Wewequita (this one is more recent, and I am not too fond of either, but don´t think that it will last).

However the last one, I am not sure if I don’t like it because it reminded me of when I was little and couldn’t pronounce my “R’s” and they came out as “W’s”. When I was little I would tell everyone that my name was “Wahbecca” I liked “Wabbits” and the primary colors were "blue, yellow, gween, and wed". I had to go to speech therapy to get this corrected.

But recently when I heard this name of “Wewequita” and it reminded me of those days when I couldn’t pronounce my R’s it made me think of God, and His awesome big plan for my life. Now I can pronounce 3 different “R’s” well, and after meeting other people from different countries I have been able to practice other pronunciations of R´s. (French, German, Danish, and Swiss). How awesome to look back and see how God’s hand was working even in my young years of 3-4, that He enabled me to have my English R´s corrected and then to be able to communicate in another language that can be difficult for some people to pronounce and roll the R’s.
