She works for the Orange County Attorney’s Office as a legal assistant, and she serves as a deaconess, intercessor, church administrator, and dance ministry leader at her church, The Word of Truth Christian Ministries, under the covering of her Pastors Tony and Inga DeWitt.
Adrienne was inspired and lead by the Lord to start her Traci Lynn Fashion Jewelry business when her son blessed her with a beautiful mirrored jewelry box on her birthday. Adrienne’s Traci Lynn Fashion jewelry business provides exquisite, unique, and affordable fashion jewelry that compliments your inner and outer beauty.
She believes that God gave her this business opportunity to encourage her to step out of her little comfort zone to allow God’s glory to shine through her life, and that the jewelry line represents the results of the inner work of much preparation and pain endured during the process of becoming all God has called her to be. As a witness of God’s transforming and healing power working in her life, Adrienne was totally and completely healed of breast cancer 9 years ago and clinical depression due to the condition. It was by the Grace of God, and through much prayer, worship, and praise, and staying in God’s Presence that Adrienne made it through her process and she desires to give back that same inspiration and hope to remind others that we are all chosen jewels of a royal priesthood who can make it through the working of the Refiner’s Fire, and come out as pure gold through Christ Jesus!
