AUTHOR BIO: RACHELLE FG VAN RYSSEN Last updated, August-27-2009
Rachelle was born March 30, 1970, in Simcoe, Ontario, Canada and is the eldest of two girls. Rachelles father, Roland, is French Canadian and her mother is Irish Canadian which has made for a interesting mix of personality and humour.
Rachelles father came from a Catholic background and her mother from a United. Rachelle's parents married and raised their daughters Baptist. Rachelle married John a Presbyterian and they are strangely enough still attending the Presbyterian Church with their two children Khristien and Gerrit to this day.
Rachelle is the Author of three books; Pruned for Perfection, Treasures in Jars of Clay and Multiple Sclerosis and Christ. She is an Ambassador for the MS Society Walk and the President of Robins Nest Global Child Foundation. Rachelle loves to speak with small or large groups giving her strong testimony or about one of her many topics. http://robinsnestchildrenshomes.com
Rachelle was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2000 and a tumor in her right temporal lobe of her brain a couple of years later. For some people this would put a halt to their lives but for Rachelle it meant opportunity, not an end but many new beginnings. Rachelle has learned to use her sorrows and moves the mountains in her life with humor and the knowledge that this too is Gods plan.
Rachelle lives life in the Spirit and shares how with all who know her , read her books or hear her speak.
One of Rachelles favorite passages is: 2 Corinthians 4:7-9
*Yet we who have this Spiritual treasure are like common clay pots, to show that the supreme power belongs to God, not us. 8. We are often troubled but not crushed; sometimes in doubt, but never in despair; 9. There are many enemies, but we are never without a friend; and though badly hurt at times. We are not destroyed.
