As a divorced mother of a severely special needs mother your testimony touched me deeply, there is so much strengh in your words. May God bless you and yoimur family and your calling

Thank you so much for this story. I feel on the verge of giving up but this gives me the courage to hold on! Praise the Lord!

I remember when I was little girl my father used to make us sit around as a family and listen to focus on the family.

From Rachel's social media, I saw that Taylor passed away a few weeks ago. Her family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Myself i am one of ten children raised on the church pews.Many life struggles,but my mother was our greatest mentor and held our family together after 25 years of marriage .Our father failed God,family and was without peace.Then he lived alone after losing respect of community and his family.Mother was a pillar of faith through so much.

When I tried online dating sites (some were Christian), I had the most HORRIBLE NIGHTMARISH experiences. I would weep every night and cry to God and kept asking WHY He wouldn't send someone into my life... He gave me a very clear answer why. I am still single at 32. PRAISE GOD. I have a feeling He has something so much bigger in store for me.

I am a 61 year old mother and wife of 38 years, having two grown up children. I have never belonged to a church, but I am walking and living with the Lord. I have 5 siblings and they were baptised church of England, my father a none practicing Catholic, mum C of E., my nanny taught me to pray, and promised me her bible, which was presented to her in 1928 for excellent attendance at Sunday school. She went on to teaching Sunday school at Baptist Church. I have always felt someone was watching over me. My husband asked me out in1975, I was 17 he was 23. Married in 1981. My husband like me hadn't been baptised, h born on Christmas day, name Thomas, whenever I asked him about The Lord, he said he would not accept Jesus, he needs proof like the marks on his side and hands and feet. I called him doubting Thomas, ( Diddimus). I have suffered much hardship all my life, disfunctnal up bringing, opposition from both sides of my family and Tom's family. After getting married I became ill and lost my job, and I spent 1st wedding anniversary in hospital, my first baby born 2 weeks b 2nd wedding anniversary. Special needs and had school ancillary help and school transport, in and out of hospital up to the age of 12, I battled with my own health. I almost lost my son in a car accident 2016 and I prayed to God for his life, I trusted in God and I had my prayers answered. I gave m to the Lord Jesus Christ, I gave him the reins and asked him to to teach me and lead me to the truth. After 24 years of trying to understand the truth and the way, not understanding the bible. I have been taught by the Lord himself and led through the Bible and how to prayer and worship him. He is the only one who is capable of telling us the truth, God is telling me to pray for his peace and grace, and to fight for his future peace. JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY, THE KEY TO THE KINGDOM HEAVEN AND NO ONE CAN COME TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH Jesus and Holy spirit in us which we received through the Grace of God after accepting Jesus. Believing that Jesus is the only begotten son of God. Then humbling before God and confession of all our sinful nature and asked him to forgive us our sins. Invite him into our hearts and minds and receive the Holy spirit the true Baptising of God. AMEN

So true. I can especially relate to the part about memorization of scripture. My parents also encouraged (forced) me to memorize scripture. I actually won Vacation Bible School contests for the number of verses I memorized. At the time, I was probably just doing it because I had to, and I don't think much of it connected from my brain to my heart at the time. I may not even have fully understood much of it. At 61 years old now, those scriptures are still part of me, and have come to mind over the years whenever needed, whether for myself or others for help and comfort in time of need. They just pop in my head - some verses which I haven't even really thought about or gone back and reviewed - just pop into my head and I recite them word for word, as if I practiced them every day.

I am in awe of God's ways! I just found Rachel's blog last week and here she is on your channel not long after I found Focus on the Family.
