Island Margarita fragrance is filling the air.
Fill us up Lord. Replenish. I'm paying attention. I'm soaking it all in.
**My sweet friends I just wanted to thank you for encouraging me this week. You made me feel beautiful about my hair and you offered up the kindest words regarding the weighing fiasco. I have the best readers in the world! There could have been some harsh or critical comments...words that would have made us feel judged, but you spoke out in kindness, compassion and with prayer. Thank you so much. I just really love and appreciate each one of you. When I told my mom about what happened she was so sweet. She said that God was good to reveal that seed in Little Chick's heart... so it wouldn't become a weed. He does that...He helps us that way. I know everything will be just fine.
Have a blessed day.

ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day, Becky!

i love the feeling of a rainy soul cleansing day too.
ReplyDeletei was thinking of your little one during my run yesterday. i think every single one of my girls has said the same type thing too. i truly believe you have done or said nothing wrong. i think our culture sends these messages to our beautiful girls all the time. they see it everywhere. i think gaurding your words in front of them is wise, but you knew that already. you are a wonderful ( gorgeous with great hair) mommy!!
Glad to see you are feeling positive love this morning. Crafting rainy days sound like the most wonderful way to enjoy the weather. Would love to see what your girls are making! Keep smiling sweetheart <3
ReplyDeleteI love the rain! It is so comforting and renewing. I am glad that you are feeling better this morning. I hope that the day continues to be as soothing as the morning. Bless you and keep your head and heart open!
ReplyDeleteI would easily take a rainy day over any fair weather or sunshiny day.
ReplyDeleteIt's soothing, comforting and I love your "prayer" at the last photo- the end of your post here. I need to make that MORE of a heart cry of mine, too.
Guess what! I think they're calling for rain here today, too. Yeah!!
Sounds like a perfect day. I love days like that.
ReplyDeleteI have chills reading your blog - thank you for your uplifting, inspiring world...
ReplyDeleteI like your mom's analogy very much! It sounds to me He was also washing away your doubts as a mother. You ARE a good mother, and this wasn't your fault. This world is full of faults and the messages our kids receive from it can be disheartening. My son worries his muscles aren't big enough, my daughter asks if I think she is skinny or thin. They're 11! I think you handled it wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteBe well ~Andrea~
Oooooh! I LOVE Kari Jobe! I think I'm going to go turn on the music now. :) You're a great 'story teller', by the way. I love your pics and the way that you write makes me feel like I could almost feel the rain. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post Becky...wow! I love all these shots...and the two-toned ones are stunning!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day..rain is a blessing

Love your Mom's words, "revealing a seed before it becomes a weed!" Let that glorious rain renew your spirit!
ReplyDeleteI ADORE days like this. They soothe me.
ReplyDeleteOh, that rain was just great! I would have loved it even more if I was not driving in it that morning. We were heading to the chidlren's museum.
ReplyDeleteYou make me wish it were raining here right now...sometimes (rarely but sometimes) I could go for a good rainy day and yours sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you today and just wanted to let you know I found myself praying for little chick a couple of times yesterday. She will certainly learn from this and the fact that you and your hubby reminded her that she is beautiful and perfect just the way she is - that will impact her forever. :)
this entry makes me want it to rain that much more here!! (we need it here in So.GA)
ReplyDeletestop it!! you're freaking me out!
ReplyDeleteI love days like you're having.
ReplyDeleteYour Mom is so right. For God to reveal this while she is still so young, that is a gift. He is removing that tiny sprouted seed.
Yep, still lovin your hair. I want to do a google search to see where I can get that done where I live, but I'm afraid of the kind of search results I might get.
Sounds like the perfect day to me!! I can't wait for rainy days, I just LOVE them, and it sounds like you've mastered this one :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect day to me! we don't get nearly as many of those as I wish we did...enjoy the rain! And of course everything will be ok, of course it will...xoxo
ReplyDeleteThis was beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. The background music was so fitting. Enjoy the rest of your week!
ReplyDeleteBecky,
ReplyDeleteI really think you are a kindred spirit! I read your blog posts and am amazed at how much we are alike...still seems strange to me that i have never met you and yet I can't wait to see your posts. So friend, kindred spirt, I hope you enjoy your lovely rainy day! Those days are the best, even in Seattle! I love what your mom said about Little Chick, so very insightful! You will continue to be in my prayers. Enjoy your day!
Have a sweet rainy kind of day! Soak up every special moment you can:)
ReplyDeleteLove this ...your words , the pictures, the rain...and it had to sound beautiful at your house with Kari singing...LOVE her! :)
ReplyDeleteAwww Becky, your momma is a very wise woman! I loved how she likened it to being thankful for the seed so it doesn't become a weed. Perfect thought and words.
ReplyDeleteI'm so thankful for you Becky. You know how to take a rainy day and make it into a beautiful and warm and welcoming atmosphere filled with love and light. I LOVE CANDLES!!! You know those words kind of describe YOU too. (beautiful, warm, welcoming and full of light that you give to all of us)
I'm so glad God made Becky!
Hugs
Lee Ann
Amen!
ReplyDeleteAnd when you get your fill, snd it this-a-way. :-)
Hugs,
Anne

ReplyDeleteI will email you soon. I need a Becky friend fix.
But know I am here too to fill you up, to pray,

Your mom sounds like a really wise lady. And I am glad that the videos helped. Thanks for dropping in and leaving the comment about that. It is nice to know that something hit in the right spot. It sounds like everything is going to work out fine:-)
ReplyDeleteThis post is sooo soothing. I just love those rainy days. I can't even remember the last time I lit candles.
ReplyDeletethe pictures are gorgeous. happy rainy day my friend.
Oh, I love what your mom said.... wow... so insightful!
ReplyDeletecan i come over? i love simple/cozy/reflective days like this.
ReplyDeleteMr. Privet says
ReplyDeletethings at home are
lush and green due
to all the rain...
I love a cozy morning
inside when a storm
is brewing and it
looks like you made
the most of it! Just
read your last post, too;
my heart just dropped.
You know how I feel about
all of the pressures
that society puts on
ALL of us, from young
to old. I think that you
absolutely handled the
whole thing magnificently.
It's a brave new world
when it comes to raising
girls, but you are not
alone. Big hugs, today!

Oh how I want to see that sweet rain here in Alabama!
ReplyDeletecandles, crafting, kari jobe (love!) and a thankful heart sounds like just the perfect ambiance for a rainy day!
ReplyDeletebeautiful! beautiful! sounds just like a perfect day!!
ReplyDeleteMany Blessings!
Jill
Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up Lord. Come and quinch this thirsting in my soul. Bread from heaven feed me til I want no more. Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole.
ReplyDeleteAlso forgot to add that I absolutely LOVE rainy days! I love to light the candles and put on Diana Krall and just blog!
ReplyDeleteFirst time here...what a sweet blog!
ReplyDeleteSometimes rainy days are a blessing and an excuse to slow down!

I love...and I mean, LOVE, island margarita scent!
ReplyDeleteI love a rainy day!! Looks like you turned it into something wonderful. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Becky! I am Tara from All That Jazz Vintage. Thank you for leaving us such wonderful comments on our blog. It's nice to meet you here in your home.
ReplyDeleteRainy days are the best sort of days, when you can just hunker down all toasty inside with a fabulous candle burning.
I hope you have a great weekend and that you have sunshine and not rain at the moment!
I can totally imagine the feel of the house on the rainy day. We feel so safe in our homes don't we! It is always so fun to read you since I live so near by & have been through the same rainy days :)
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing better than a rainy day now and then. A real soaker, actually. I love to light a few candles turn the TV on to a useless Lifetime Movie and clean closets. It is amazing how much I can get done in one rainy day! I always tell my husband, if we lived in Seattle, we would have the cleanest home in town! ;o) Lets just say its been a dry summer here in the Midwest!
ReplyDelete~mary~
I've been insanely busy and on top of that, my computer wouldn't pick up wireless, so I'm very behind. I'm going to have to go further back and find out what happened....
ReplyDeleteI loved the rain pics and the dark, shadowy ones...sounds like my perfect kind of day!
Love this post and the photographs. How did you do that?
ReplyDeleteOur family loves rainy days too! My son says they make him feel cozy. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous pics! I love perfect rainy, cozy days like this... Unfortunately, there's just heat, sun, heat, sun, heat, sun here and no storms anymore! :(
ReplyDeletei love your blog. you look like a really cool person (i'm jealous that you have cows...). :)
