About the Writer
Hello. I am Deerre'll. I was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. I have always loved learning, and more specifically, writing. I was introduced to Jesus at a very young age. My grandmother, Georgia B. Williams, was a mighty woman of God. Not only did she know God, but she loved God. I remember her answering her home phone by joyfully saying, "Praise the Lord!". I am grateful for her evangelism in my life because this has allowed me to develop my own relationship with God.
​
As an adolescent, I enjoyed going to church and was involved in youth dance, choir, and attended church regularly. I worked hard to make good decisions that I thought God would be proud of, and to be a good example for my friends. However, I struggled with my identity. I wanted to fit in. I wanted to be popular and be seen as the fun and cool girl. I didn't think I was pretty or enough, and I worked to be validated and accepted.
My identity was under attack by the enemy. When I entered college, I became involved in worldy indulgences. The funner and "cooler" I became, the emptier I became. Everytime something devastating would happen, I would run back to the Father, and He would embrace me with open arms and an open heart. I would do this on and off for years: in Christ and then back into the world. I was a backslider. I was lukewarm. Had I died, I'm not sure that God would have said "well done, good and faitful servant" becausse I wasn't serving Him: I was serving myself and the world.
​
This year, God used a very hurtful situation to reveal the demonic attack the enemy has been effectuating on my life and on my heavenly assignment. He revealed to me all the ways I have given the enemy permission to be apart of my life, and all the decisions that I made that pushed me away from Him. But more importantly, through this revelation -- He corrected me gracefully, invited me back mercifully, and welcomed me lovingly. He rescued me from the hands of the enemy, and restored me back to my rightful place.
​
In this season of my life, I believe that God is calling me to use my writings and personal experiences to spread His truth. By sharing my experiences, I hope that God uses me to bring His revelation, freedom, and redemption to the lives of others so that they too can be rescued and rightfully restored.
