Weekend Kindness
Reaching Others Through Kindness

Hi! I’m Revka, and MIn the Gap asked me to join Weekend Kindness as an author. It is only polite that you should know a bit about the person who writes the articles you read.

When I meet new people, one of the first questions they normally ask is how to pronounce my name. It is said with a long e (Reev-kuh) and is Hebrew for Rebekah. More common Israeli spellings are Rivkah or Rifka. My parents liked the name but, apparently, didn’t know the “correct” spelling.

I am a born-again believer in Christ; in fact, after putting my faith in a profession rather than in the Person of Christ for 19 years, I finally came to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ on July 18, 2007. (You can read my full testimony over at my personal blog, The Porch Light.)

I am married to a wonderful man (I refer to him as Mr. Incredible in my blogs), and we will be celebrating our 8th anniversary in a couple of weeks. I love being married to this incredibly patient man, and I love our three daughters, also known as Pookie Bear, Miss Muffet, and Baby Bear.

I believe that there is always room for improvement in my life and am always striving to become more like Christ, which will also make me a better person. I am excited about sharing with you my ideas for building relationships and treating our families with kindness. As you will see in my first (non-introductory) post, I plan to be transparent in my posts, honestly detailing my own struggles and triumphs as is appropriate to the topic at hand, though not every post will be about me. I hope that you will find my posts relevant, encouraging, and useful, and I look forward to getting to know you readers better.

Thanks, MIn the Gap, for giving me this opportunity.
