Carlynn Rainey

 

Carlynn was born and raised in the small town of Luka, Mississippi and promptly moved to Houston, Texas after graduating from Mississippi State University in 2006 with a Finance degree. She currently works at one of the major oil & gas companies in downtown Houston. She is married to her husband, Jeff Crawford, and is stepmother to Cami (19) and Cole (22) and soon to be grandmother this December!! 

She grew up attending church with her family, was actively involved in youth group, and became a Christian around the age of 13. Through all of life’s ups and downs, God has been the constant in her life, a very firm foundation. She has felt Him pursue her, let her go when she was too stubborn to see any other way but her own, but He never left her.  He was always there when she turned around.  One of the greatest testimonies Carlynn has is that of how God has met her where she is. Over the years, she has become more aware of the ways in which God has gifted her.  She has loved writing since she was a child and more recently has become aware of a pull toward teaching and discipleship. Sharing these Godly gifts has become a huge part of what she feels called to do.
