Sharing your story sometimes can be hard, sometimes it can be difficult but did you know it can be healing?
Most of us will go through some pretty tough times at some point in our lives. Before I shared my story, I didn’t realize the power and healing it would have.
Your story, my story is a gift from God to draw others to Jesus.
God is writing a GREAT masterpiece.. He is writing the stories of our lives! And we are all currently walking through different chapters and different seasons.
In Paul Tripp’s book, New Morning Mercies, he says…
“Every turn He writes into your story is RIGHT.
Every twist in the plot is for the BEST.
Every new chapter or unexpected event is a tool of His GRACE.
Each new chapter advances His PURPOSES.”
He is writing a story in my own life…here’s a quick synopsis:
✍️📖The chapters start all the way in Arizona🌵to end up in TN🛣. From growing up, finding Jesus to my first job at @crackerbarrel 🍽. Then going to college at @leeuniversity to marrying Jake, moving to SC where we both finished our degrees👩🏻🎓👨🏻🎓, him at @shermancollege and I went to the university SC-upstate… where we had a couple babies. After graduating moving to TN where we found ⛪ @foothillschurchtn & are still part of it after 8+ years. After waiting and trusting God, we opened @victoryhealthcenter !! Experienced loss but all along the way knowing the Lord had a plan. 💕 Later had a couple more babies all while starting homeschooling. And even still after 13 years of marriage💍, I still am in as much love as I was with Jake as when I first met him at that @leeuflames 🔥 basketball game🏀. And in this current chapter of heartbreaking loss of another miscarriage💔, I find comfort knowing the God has a a plan and it is GOOD! 🙏😊
If you’re current chapter is hard, find comfort in knowing you’re not alone and that the Lord is with you. (I’m having to constantly remind myself as I walk this chapter out) ❤️💕

About Rachel
I absolutely loved your story. So honest and genuine. It would be so lovely if we could see what’s in store for us but we just do have to trust. Love to you and all your family xx
What a beautiful outlook on the typical “draw my life!” I love this idea so much better. Thanks for sharing your story!
I love seeing your story through that creative scrapbook. Sometimes I think scrapbooking would take too long but the way you did it made it so much easier for me to see doing it. Thanks!
When i was in elementary school, I had the biggest crush on Shawn Cassidy, I think because I liked his blonde hair. I sensed a lot of things that eventually came true in my younger years, and one “premonition” I had was of a wonderful blonde man that came to save me, from what I did not know, but he was very nice and helpful to my life in my mind. It seemed like I would need him and he was there to help and save me from something. I always remembered this dream I had as a child, but it became clear to me when I met my husband, the only blonde man I had ever dated, my dream man. My sweet husband has listened to talk radio for many years, I never did. I thought it was silly and radio was made for music. In the last 5-7 years I have developed Diabetes, peripheral Neuropathy, an auto-immune disease called Hashimoto’s (hypothyroidism)and have been suffering with all of the symptoms and extreme chronic pain and my sweet husband has suggested trying out Victory Health Center because he has listened to Dr.Jake’s radio show and my husband believed he could help me with my “disabilities”.
Finally I could take no more of the pain, no more of the fatigue, no more of the nausea and dizzy feelings. I was so tired of taking so many pills for so many things! Finally, I agreed to go to see Dr.Jake at Victory Health, and I have been feeling and doing nothing but Better ever since I walked through the door! One of my first thoughts as I sat on the couch waiting to meet the Dr. was the premonition of the blonde man helping me so long ago. It was my husband! He knew I needed help and he convinced me to go get it! He has stood by my side through all of my struggles and he is my rock! The Lord works in mysterious ways! I have learned so much from Dr.Jake, like how the foods I was raised on have caused so many health problems and how the toxins around us can affect your body, but most of all I saw an x-ray of my neck and learned how important it was to have your neck and back adjusted correctly to have your nerve highway flowing and not blocked so it can work as it was designed to. My neck was a mess, it was straight and square, only 4 vertebrae showing in the x-ray when you should see 6 or 7 and no curve at all!! I am getting better everyday Thanks to my dream man and Victory Health!
