I want to share a powerful sermon, preached by a woman my age, about 4 months before she died. Watch it here.
She says “I am dying, but so are you”. A simple & profound truth.

Hi Jen,
I almost fell over when I saw this post about sweet Rachel I almost fell over.
I have had that video of her talk given back last Spring saved online for — well, since last Spring — and have lost count of how many times I’ve listened to it while working here in the office.
Some days, I’d turn it on and go about my work here and just listen to the audio. Other days, I’d begin to do that, but end up just glued to my chair, staring into the computer watching it — not just listening to it. As though I wanted to forever embed everything about her, everything she had to say, in my mind so I wouldn’t forget her impact.
I joined the Facebook group Death Is Not Dying back last Spring (or so) and was able to leave comments for Rachel up until she finally went home to her Lord. It is so neat to know that perhaps one day I’ll actually meet her there — and be able to tell her face to face how her words have impacted my life on a daily basis.
I hope even one woman who watches her story is changed forever -eternally.
So glad you thought to post this — I’ll watch it yet again now…
XOXO and Happy New Year!

this makes me appreciate every healthy day I have and gives me hope that there is more to come.
So simple and true. When I get a moment I’ll have to go watch her talk. Thank you for sharing it. We always need a bit of a reminder to cherish what we have, and look forward to what is to come.
Oh I listened to this over the summer and it was so compelling to remember.
I am so grateful that you chose to share this today. So often I click on blogs to get a quick visual glance of a beautiful photo or inspired idea… today I found myself listening… really listening. Thank you is not enough.
Thank you.
I watched it today! I cried. It blessed me! challenged me! Love it!
Wow. I’m choked up, pensive, teared up, and profoundly thoughtful after watching that. I think it was just what I needed as this year closes and a new year rolls in. What a remarkable woman. Thank you for posting that.
Thank you, Jen. I cried and cried. I am still emotional about it today.
I am going to try to find a way to creatively etch on our bare dining room wall: Serve Others with Joy!
THERE is part of Gods plan for her, she is TEACHING us how to acheive eternal salvation. For many of us she is a wake up call.WOW she has some very powerful words and for not liking to do public speaking you know that was the works of the Holy Spirit!!
I went and watched it. Good stuff!!
Thank you for posting this, Jen! I watched it in tears & posted a link on my blog too.
Wonderful reminder of how precious life is. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so very much for sharing this. It made me cry more than once. I am grateful that she shared this with the world. I’m going to listen to it over and over. It makes you realize what is truly important to the core. Be blessed, thank you.
