Rachel's Story:

Tomorrow

Two quick things....

1. Totally discouraged that I got a call this morning from the DOC and the officer told me that there hasn't been enough time yet since I completed my sentence to file for an annulment... but, they're still keeping my $100.  So, please be praying because I've decided I'm going to ask for a hearing.  I'll keep you posted.

2. I was invited to speak at a local public high school - and tomorrow is the big day.  I have no idea what I'm going to say at this point.  I am not really sure what she is expecting.  I asked what she wanted me to say and she said "just share your experience"  I asked if there was anything she didn't want me to say and she said "nope".  I know my story is my story, but it feels a bit different trying to explain it to teenagers in a public school.

I asked her if I could show my slideshow (the 'remembering Rachel' one) and she said yes and she wanted to know if it was ok if they asked questions and I was completely fine with that.  I don't feel nervous yet...   but I'm unsure of how to do this.  I've only talked in public about Rachel at her walk and at her funeral... and I sobbed through both.  I am confident that God has a purpose in this - and that someone in that room will someday know why they heard about a sweet baby girl named Rachel in their high school class.  I hope I'll be blessed to hear about it, but even if I never do, I know that this is a detail in God's plan.  I'll just try to follow His lead.  Can you pray for that?  It's at 1:00.

Thank you ♥

  8. I also spoke to HS kiddos and felt at a loss for what I should say...it ended up being my favorite group thus far. Enjoy sharing your girl!

    I am praying for you. I know that the Lord will use you and Rachel to touch those kids. You never know how God will use your story/testimony or life to change someone's heart.

    Love you like crazy cakes!
