Introducing Racquel Marie: The Woman Behind the Mission

  Hello, and thank you for visiting our site. My name is Racquel, and I am the founder of Racquel Marie's. My journey has been one of pain, growth, and ultimate redemption. For years, I faced challenges that seemed insurmountable, and there were times when I felt like good things could never happen to me. But here I am today, sharing my story, and I hope it will offer you hope and inspiration.

I grew up in an environment that many would consider unusual. My parents, though faithful members of the church, verbally and physically abused me. This paradox—the faith they held and the pain they caused—set the stage for a lifetime of hurt and confusion. From a young age, I was in survival mode, constantly trying to protect myself from the pain around me.

When I turned 18, things took an even harder turn. Child support stopped, and I was kicked out of the house, forced to live in my car. That was my first experience with homelessness. It was a wake-up call, and I knew I had to rebuild my life from the ground up. I decided to go to college, hoping for a fresh start, but despite all my efforts, I continued searching for love in all the wrong places. I longed for love because I never truly experienced it, but my search only led to broken relationships.

I had children out of wedlock, and in one abusive relationship, my children were taken from me by the Department of Children and Families (DCF), which many know as CPS. My son, just five months old at the time, was placed in foster care, and my daughters were sent to Texas while I stayed in Florida. I was in a dark place, feeling like I was losing everything and having no one to turn to but God.

There were days when I questioned my existence, wondering if I would ever find my way. But despite all the darkness, God was there, carrying me through. I eventually reunited with my children, started working at the post office, and slowly life began to improve. I even opened a business, and for a while, things were going well.

But then, I met a man I believed was the one God had chosen for me. It was at that moment that I truly stepped into my walk with God. The love I felt for this man made me believe that my journey was finally heading in the right direction. But, as quickly as everything seemed to be falling into place, it all started to unravel. I lost my home, my car, and my business completely stopped thriving. For over a year, we lived in hotels and rental cars, struggling just to get by. We barely had enough money for food. Once again, I found myself lost and questioning everything.

During this time, the man I thought was my future did not support me as he had promised. I felt abandoned and alone. I was losing everything, and in that moment, I questioned God's existence. It felt like the enemy had more power than the God I believed in, as my life seemed to fall apart in ways I couldn’t control. But then… God showed up.

God came into my life in ways I could never have imagined. He saved me in moments of desperation, and I experienced miracles that many people might not understand. One summer, I took a step back and told God I would only listen to Him. Despite the confusing instructions I received, I followed them without hesitation because I wanted to hear God for myself. I didn’t second-guess His guidance, and I was okay with making mistakes along the way—I just wanted to know Him on a deeper level.

Through this journey, God revealed Himself to me. He showed me that He had always been with me, even in my darkest moments. He freed me from the bondage I had been living in, bringing peace, joy, and understanding into my life. God told me that the trials I went through were not just for me—they were meant to help others on their own journeys. So often, we focus on the end result and overlook the lessons and growth that come from the process.

The man I thought was my destiny? God had someone better in store for me. The business I thought I wanted? God had something greater planned. The support I once lacked? I now have a community of love and faith. God has loved and protected me through it all, and I want to share my testimony with you.

Through my imperfections, I have learned that I am perfect in God's eyes. He has shown me that our struggles do not define us, but rather, they shape us for His purpose. I want to remind you: don’t let others write your story or judge you. Put your faith in God, and remember that even when things seem impossible, He is always at work behind the scenes.

I’m here to help you rebuild your faith in God and walk alongside you as you rediscover your purpose. No matter where you are in your journey, remember that God’s love is unwavering, and He has a plan for you.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I hope my story inspires you to take that next step in your own journey, knowing that with God, all things are possible.
