Say What? One of the writers of "I'll Walk" posting on Jaque's blog, no way......YES WAY! What a blessing it was to see. Little bitty Jaque Hall from Haworth OK touching lives.....each and every day. That poor ol' devil just does not know who he is dealing with. The ol' devil thinks that he can send bad things our way, but he forgets about the "Jaque" factor.
That ol' devil forgets that Chris, Jaque, and I are so blessed with our wonderful family and a huge group of friends. And we have proven that it is not just about pryaing for Jaque, it is about us all praying for one another. Do you all remember the waiting room in Texarkana, in all the confusion, I told someone (not sure who) to take pictures of the people there, because Jaque would not believe it. She would not believe us getting kicked out of the general waiting area in little Rock, on more than one occasion. And when we were last at Little Rock, I showed her the surgery waiting room that we filled with those that could make it up that Thursday, January 17 --- she was amazed.
We were at the McCurtain CO softball tourney last week. You know she is 3 x all tourney team -- and with me, she is it again this year. We were watching a team warm up, and she commented that they probably did not like her very well, because in a game last year, Jaque hit their pitcher with a screwball (on accident) and she was out for the rest of the game. I reminded her that they sent balloons and a little lion. And a wonderfully signed card. She just smiled.
As we strolled through the bal park, we were stopped by kids, and most every coach that was there. Jaque of course gave them a hug, and told them " I bet you are sure glad I am not out there!" She is so wrong. I know everyone in this county cannot wait until the day that Jaque blankets them with a shutout, no hitter.
Last night we were getting ready for bed, and she was feeling of her ribs. She was telling me which ones hurt, guess that is the broken ones still healing. She and I were talking, and I said God knows what he is doing. He is HEALING YOU OF YOUR WOUNDS. IN HIS TIME. That is true in all of our lives. We must imbrace all that makes up our everyday. We must Seize each day. Yes, that is easier said than done, I know. But I know that with parents like Chris and I have - we are fourtunate. Our mothers literally dropped their lives for a month - would have done more if we needed. And still found time to spend with us to help when we got home. And I have no doubt that if I called them today, they would be here as soon as they could. Prasie God for them, let us all not take for granted one day that they are here on earth with us. May each of you reading this say a prayer for them today.
Just keep Jaque in your thoughts as she tries to make it to the softball games, they are hot and it really is a long time in her chair. She needs your prayers. May she be touching the lives of those girls. No matter how much she pushed them, she cares for each and every one. She is the first one there if they are in trouble, and as I told the buckytown website, she is the last one textin' them to make sure they make it home on Friday night. I love you all, and as Jaque would say, "That's how I roll."

You sure can see God's hand in every milestone made in this journey. He sure is using all of you in a mighty way. The grateful attitude for every positive step instead of the bitterness for the pain suffered is nothing but a testimony to your faith in God and his healing power. I am so proud that Lindsay has someone like Jaque to admire and adore. We love you all.
Jaque you never seize to amaze me. I am so proud of you. Remember the big picture is yet to come. We don't know all God has in store for you, but we know that he did not bring you this far to let you down.
You are a blessing to all who come in contact with each and every day. I don't want to ever hear you say that someone doesn't like you or doesn't want to be around you. Because you are loved by so many. The only thing is that you continue to show you love and positive attitude for God, life, love, family and friends and all else will fall in place.
You remember CJ didn't thing anyone liked, loved or cared for him. You remember how many people were at his funeral and how many lives he touched. Just wished he could have seen all the love around him. So you remember I was at Texarkana, Little Rock, Atlanta, and yes Haworth I saw all the people there praying for you, all the tears, smiles, and the love people had for you. Those you thought didn't like you were some of the first ones there in your corner. So don't you ever think that you are not loved. Some people may not know how to show their feelings and some have difficulty understanding how you can be so up beat and positive,it is hard for some to understand why this has happened to you. But that is where their lives were and will be touched because like I said on God knows the whole plan.
You just remember not everyone has the love of a family and support that you have. So keep your head held high, your heart pure and your eyes on God and be true to yourself.
You are so loved. I can't wait to see you at uncle Lane's and Lindi's wedding. I just praise God that you are with us to be able to celebrate this day with them because it would have truly been a loss without you there.
Love you so much
MEME and PAPA
Yep Jaque you are a fighter. We can thank your Daddy for that. Never letting you accept defeat. You are showing us all. Your mom and dad have done an excellent job and its hard when we have to start pushing ourselves in any thing we do. It seems like at times things overwhelming and all these changes just keep coming. The awesome thing is you keep hitting those hommers. I love you Jaque and remember "You worry about you and your happiness. You have to make yourself happy." I love you so much.
jaque god only know how much me and grandma love u and your mom an dad oh and a little girl at my house not only love you but worshup the ground you walk in god hands on
Hey honey,
Sure do miss you all and can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks. I know sometimes we all get weary and want to know the answers now, but we have to be patient and wait for the pieces of the puzzle to fit together. I know at times it must be hard to not do the things you want when you want. Just try to look around you and see what exactly it is your gaining from it all. because not everyone gets the opportunity and I'm not saying this is good but it can be for all of us to see God work as everything comes together. You're beautiful like always and I am so proud of you. never lose sight in what your future holds. Speak the unthinkable and watch it happen. For Faith without works is dead. Can not work unless you see it and Make it!!!!! Keep the faith always loving you aunt Prissy and crew
