TESTIMONY:
In 1989, Rebecca's family endured a horrific car accident. She, along with
her dad and younger brother were thrown from the car. Rebecca suffered some
broken bones and had glass on her face, which landed her in the hospital for
two weeks followed by a wheel chair and crutches for a short amount of time.
Her dad suffered a brain injury that nearly killed him, and a chain of
events led to her parents divorce. Through a myriad of circumstances,
Rebecca was out of contact with her dad for 8 years after her move to Texas
as a teenager. Rebecca recieved Christ as her savior as a very young child,
but just like everyone, we each have to make a choice on whether to follow
Him daily through the tough places in life. Sometimes it takes
questions and wrestling to become real in our faith journey.
During those years, God made Himself the real
Father to the fatherless in a single-parent home. And just to prove that He
can do anything, God restored the relationship with her dad, who now has a
special ministry or rest and restoration that Rebecca is involved in. There
has been healing and growth on both sides, and God has used them together in
a very special way.
As she began to write and develop her art, also
growing through a time of laying down music for a while, Rebecca began to
have a passion to know the heart of God deeper. Art became and expression of
worship. Today she uses the art of music and pottery to illustrate the
reality of God and His desire to intimately connect with His people, as well
as the journey of faith that prepares us, the Bride of Christ, for the King
of Kings! .
