Thank you for sharing your testimony, I can tell that God has given you such humbleness. I really needed to hear the things you said and I am greatful that you are still here to tell it. God bless you sister❤
God is so good! He is faithful to finish the work he started in us. The Lord has lead you to the right doctrine and helped you to grow in your love for him. Thank you for this relaxing and edifying video! 🩵🤍
I really enjoyed this testimony and how God has continued to work in your life and shape and mold you. You brought some things to my attention that I think maybe I unknowingly do and need to pray about.
Oh my goodness, your testimony has opened my eyes to how deceived I am thinking I know better! I'm at that place where I left a church because of the same things you touched on, and then I ended up not being able to find a church yet, ive visited different places even though I've sensed in my spirit to sit still and get to know Him afresh, but, i heard so much of how if you miss church then you're basically backsliding, that i end up feeling condemned for not going to church somewhere even if its not a place that can meet my spiritual needs, tbh i think im also just going to church worried abt what ppl may think if i dont go anywhere ☹️, also I hear things that are happening at my former church and I've found myself being judgy and critical, and looking at myself now, I can see where I've opened myself to being conceited and critical in other areas too 😕 since then. Thank you for being transparent, the Lord has used this video to get my attention, I definitely will set time to be still and pray about these things.
I think it was a solid 5 months or more that my husband and I were without a church, but in that time the Lord absolutely worked on each of us individually so we could both shake off the false teachings we'd gained from churches and just get to know him. He's also grown our discernment in finding Christian resources as well. My husband listens to a lot of Paul Washer sermons, C. S. Lewis and that sort of thing. Church is brilliant, but sometimes we need to take a step back and get to know God for ourselves 🧡🙏
I realized that a big part of what you are talking about here was happening while you were publishing videos on this channel. I think that, when people talk publicly about things, they have them figured out, but this shows that you don't have them figured out. It also reminds me that I can talk about my problems easily when I have gone through them, but I hardly talk about my problems when I am still struggling with them.
My thinking is that God's not waiting for us to be perfect, and if we sit around waiting until we've become perfect before we share God's word we'll never do it. I still don't have things figured out but I do know the changes in me so far are down to God's work within me. He's going to continue that work until this life ends and it's not until after that that any of us will be perfect! Talking about things especially with trusted elders or people you know are deep in their faith is so helpful 🙏
What a wonderful testimony Rachel - on reflection you can see how God was always looking after you, even during your labour. On the topic of church, my husband and I haven’t been apart of one for over a decade, and after discovering your channel and the fact you had a journaling bible, I decided to get one from my local Christian bookshop! 😂 In the shop I came across a book called Why Bother With Church by Sam Allberry, and it has really changed my perspective on church and what it means to Jesus, as I also had similar Pentecostal experiences as you. I was hurt, and in these years of not being apart of a church I have grown conceited, and felt like I didn’t need a church; I’m fine on my own. But God has shown me that that is wrong - he has not called us to a life of solitude but of community. We are all part of the body and we all have a part to play. I would highly recommend that book of it is something you or my fellow listeners are interested in. But God is working through your videos Rachel 😊 I keep you in my prayers and pray that you continue to grow and learn in him x
Hi Rachel, Broken and Loved here, I couldn’t help but notice your thyroid. I’m sure you’re fine, but just in case you haven’t gotten it checked, you might want to. It just looks a little enlarged to me. Or I could be totally wrong. But I’ll sleep better knowing I mentioned it to you. God bless you Rachel! ❤ @dustandgraceasmr
@dustandgraceasmr you’re welcome. Better safe than not. I worked in medicine for over a decade but I’ve also been a stay at home mom for the last 5 years so I could be getting rusty lol.

Loved heading more details in your story and how God has been working in your heart. Also the rain sounds were such a nice touch ❤

I recently watched your last testimony and really enjoyed it, so I was excited to see this video pop up ☺️

Oh that's very interesting I hadn't noticed, thank you for letting me know!
