Lady Rachel, A Gentle Heart After God

by Lady Olivia

Lady Rachel, I'm excited to get to interview you. Here are some questions.

Lady O:I hear you have a big family. What is it like being a sister to so many?
Lady Rachel: Well, there is never a dull moment around here, that's for sure! Being the third child, I have a big responsibility of setting a good example for the younger kids, and I also have an example to look up to. If any of my siblings were removed from my family, it wouldn't be the same. Although there are many of us kids, one of them always makes the difference. I wouldn't trade having a large family for a smaller one ever!

Lady O: What do you like to do for fun?Lady Rachel: I like baking and cooking. Reading has always been fun for me. I have taken up drawing and sketching too. I clean for fun sometimes too. I like playing Boggle, (the word game), Trivial Pursuit, and other games when the time comes. I also enjoy sitting and making up stories about fictional characters I make up. I have been working on my 7 books that I started to get them finished.

Lady O:What responsibilities do you have around your house?
Lady Rachel: I make dinner quite a lot. Cleaning is a big job around here. Then there are the barn chores to do. We have to feed the goats and chickens, give them water, and make sure their stalls are kept clean. I also have a rabbit that stays inside. Her name is Nami Daisy. I also have a dog, Blondie. She also stays inside. I also help Jocelyn with taking Wilbur down to feed him, since he can't stay down in the barn. We have an inside kitten, Mopsy, that I help take care of. Did I cover everything? :)

Lady O:What do you like to learn about?
Lady Rachel: I like history and cultures best to learn about. I don't think I have a favourite time in history, as it is all interesting to me! I also enjoy science. Math, not so much. It's never been my thing in school. :o)

Lady O:Can you tell us your favorite Bible verse and why it is important to you?
Lady Rachel: My favourite Bible verse has always been John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
It's important to me because it tells of God's love and mercy for us as sinners. I often spend a lot of time in the Psalms and also in the books that Paul wrote. I love reading through Revelation, and the prophecies of Christ.

Lady O: Do you have a role model from the Bible?
Lady Rachel: Jesus is the perfect Role Model that I try to follow. The Proverbs 31 Woman is the role model I go to a lot and try to follow. But there are also the books that Paul wrote that I enjoy going to read about how we as Christians should conduct ourselves.

Lady O: Do you have special goals that you have set for the future?
Lady Rachel: I don't really want to do anything else but be a wife and a mother when I grow up. I 'd like to have my own in-home shop selling goat-milk products, such as soaps, balms, and lotions. I'd like to live on a homestead, raising goats, chickens, cows, horses, rabbits, and ducks. Maybe some geese too. Whatever the Lord blesses me with! Other than that, I would like to spend my time telling others about Christ.

Lady Rachel, thank you for taking the time to tell us about yourself and your family. We appreciate your articles and all that you have to share with us girls who are growing in grace.
