The heart behind WayLane.

WayLane is a small shop that provides YOU with encouraging, cozy clothes. These sweats prayerfully remind you that Jesus’ way is always better and nothing like we can imagine, even in the moments that it feels like there is no way.  My mission was inspired from years of loneliness and confusion with what God’s plans were for my life.

My name is Rachel Joy and welcome to my small shop! I am so happy you are here ♡

After a few years of teaching second grade, I felt like I was called to more but did not know what that looked like. I felt like all that I knew was how to teach. I felt stuck, and decided to pray into what God had next for me. I wanted to create and pursue something that spoke truth and life to other girls in a similar season that I was in. During that prayer time, God completely flipped my life upside down.

In September of 2021, I started in a new part time position at my school in order to have the afternoons to begin the process of WayLane. In a span of two months, I ended up quitting my job, packing my bags, moving to Nashville, and started my own clothing line. This was the biggest leap of faith I have ever done. While everything has not been easy, this has been the greatest adventure with God yet, and it is only the beginning. My prayer is that you can wear these clothes and be reminded that even though the season you are in may be confusing, He will always “make a way in the wilderness,” when it seems there may be no way.
