Until We Arise Intern

This is Jessica… AKA Jecca, Until We Arise Intern and Beauty Brunch Site Coordinator

“My life before Beauty Brunch was a hard cycle of depression and loneliness that I thought I would never be able to escape. I always knew there was a God to pray to but I didn’t know there was a God that moves! And even though I didn’t expect it, that is exactly what He did through Beauty Brunch. It honestly took me awhile to accept the invitation because the attacks of the enemy were very strong and I really couldn’t see myself getting out of my comfort zone. That was until one day in December of 2017 at the Rachel’s house when God revealed his strength to me.

It was a normal Friday, but we invited God’s presence through worship… and I felt Him like I never felt him before. I felt his mercy and grace wash over me, and He pulled me right out of my depression. Ever since then I have never missed a Beauty Brunch. At every Brunch, God’s presence was so tangible that I just wanted more. It was crazy to see that it wasn’t just happening for me. Every Brunch, I saw others breaking free from their chains of oppression.

My whole life has turned around since I said “Yes” to the Lord and decided to be a part of Until We Arise. My life has been stripped down in what seems like every area, but I am also more free than I have ever been in my life. I have been freed from anxiety, fear, and depression! I am still a work-in-progress, but now…

I have a friend who sticks closer than a brother! He reminds me that I am not alone. I have a God that moves mightily! He can and will get me through anything.
I have a Father that rebuilds my hope. He strengthens me to move forward in my calling.
The calling He has for me is bigger than I could imagine. The process is not easy but there is a sense of peace and true joy knowing that he is in control of all my needs.

This is why I Beauty Brunch!
