Hard times......................



When your world feels like it is all falling apart.  Trust God.  

This past two months of my life have been the hardest ever. So many things have happen that I have no control over and have changed things forever and will never be the same again. My only hope is God will take all this and use it for good.  I see how he is already.  Things that were not completely right but had been pushed aside and not looked at as a big problem are now being made right.  It is amazing how those little things effect more than we realized.  Things that didn't seem like a big deal or staple to the big picture that have now been addressed suddenly have changed the look of our future.

Through I do not believe God makes evil happen to bring out what is righteous.  I believe without a doubt that for will use was intended for bad for his good.

Genesis 50:20
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”

Life is so hard but know you are not alone.  Know that there is something bigger than all you think you see in front of you right now. Hang in there and keep knowing and trusting God is and will work things out.

I have to be honest. Even us moving to Texas though I know God lead us here has been so hard on us.  I miss my family and my close friends that have always been here for me. They are still part of my life of corse but I so miss their constant presence physically in my life.  Some one that just likes to hang out and doesn’t have to be entertained all the time.  Some one that makes time to stop by just to see how Im doing. 

I hear so many people talk about wanting to start over and make a new life. Well it isn’t all it sounds to be. You will miss and desire to have back even the small things you thought you hated sometimes.  That saying that you don’t realize what you have till its gone is so true.

I will say this.  There is alot Im not sharing cause its so personal.  We see God moving things into place although we don’t understand all that is going on.  We are excited and deciding to just chill and let God work things out.  

Im real big on how we should stay in right character regardless of how others act and what they do.  Don’t react instead respond with integrity.

I share all this in hope that it helps someone who may be going though a hard time as well.  Hang in there, relax, trust God, stand with integrity, trust God will use it all for good.

Life is a journey....my testimony.

Updated on September 13, 2017 Let me introduce myself first. My name is Rachel Jackson, I am a singer/songwriter and speaker. My heart is to minister to people and encourage people to be real and honest with God, themselves, and others. My prayer is that through music and word will come healing, deliverance, restoration, and salvation. In ministering in this way a movement was started that has made a large impact in schools. I have been in ministry for 16 years reaching out to women, children, youth, and college aged students.  My music has received regular airplay on several radio stations across America. I have led worship in many settings from church camps to inside prison walls. I serve as a youth leader next to my husband that is the youth pastor of Angus Church in Sand Springs, OK.   Jared Jackson and I have 3 kids together and have been married for 13 years. I’ve been blessed with a life that lends itself to exploration and discovery. My greatest find during my journey,

Some Strengthening

With all the troubles in this world some need a little help. We were never met to do this life on our own anyways. Sometimes it can just be that you feel stuck and unable to successfully change your feelings, thoughts or behaviors.
