Jacquelyn Grace

Being pregnant with Jacquelyn         JG Stories and growing accomplishments

November, 2008
There are days when I believe that Jacquelyn is actually one of God's angels sent here to teach me. Or maybe it's a reflection of His spirit on her life, so strong already. I'm amazed at what our children comprehend spiritually - they give us a fresh perspective. Here is an example of one of those times that God works through her to show me a glimpse of light. While we were at Disney (the happiest place on earth), we were eating lunch or dinner one night, a few days into the trip, and Jacquelyn and I were sharing a table. She looks at me and says (out of the blue), "Mom, you know that Heaven is better than Disneyworld?" That day I was convinced God sent down an angel in the form of my daughter to tell me that. How else would she know?

And the way she sings is so refreshing - I could listen for hours. She learns praise and worship songs instantly and can replicate the tune so perfectly. Her voice is that of an angel, and is nearly always "on."

Some days she'll be up in her room, just reading her Bible (or looking at the pictures and telling the story to herself) - she's got some Mammaw Deen in her, for sure! She actually pursues more knowledge; she's truly captivated by the Bible and anxious to learn more and talk about things. I know that spiritual hunger will guide her path for many years. I'm humbled so many days to be that example she needs to keep that yearning for more of God.
