Joyful Chaos and Little Miracles

Ten years ago, Rachel began recording the significant events in her life with the hope that someday her experiences may encourage someone to know they were not alone in their struggles. All too often the battle we are fighting is done so in secret. She has survived loss, suffered emotional turmoil, and fought with type 1 diabetes, as well as all the challenges that come with parenting, fostering, and starting a new life in Hawaii. She has found strength in coming to love God, but searching for that understanding did not come easily. Rachel's story tells us how the challenges, trials, and frustrations that she has experienced have made her stronger, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. In sharing these stories, she prays others may find the courage and hope in emerging from the darkness we sometimes find ourselves in.Her dream is that someone may read about her journey and come closer to knowing God so that they too may enjoy the peace and joy that comes with that relationship. If this story helps one person come to God or encourages one person to make the effort to climb up out of that deep hole of depression, there is no cost too grand. Join Rachel on her journey navigating through this crazy, beautiful life thus far, as we celebrate our imperfections and rejoice in all the blessings God has bestowed upon us.
