Christmas Time is Coming!!

Well, it has been a while since we have talked. Basketball season, deer season, grandma's ......we have been busy. I bet everyone reading this is feeling the Christmas time crunch.

Just wanted to tell you all we love you. Remember that when you feel like you are running out of time, time is all we have. We are so fortunate to be on this earth for a very short time, and if you are one of the lucky ones (like me) you are surrounded by beautiful people.

Jaque is doing great. She is the light in my life, and my reason for getting up every morning. She is growing so quickly. She is 5'8"+ now. Her attitude on life is wonderful, and she is learning that ALL things are possible. I have a lot of people ask me if she is walking yet. It use to make me sad, but more and more every day I realize that I smile now. I smile knowing that God is doing great works in her life and in her body. To think that he kept her here on this earth, that he spared her, that he chose her.....so that she has the opportunity to chose him...that is awesome.

We were in Merritt OK at a ballgame and a yound lady came up to her. She asked if she was "Jaque Hall" and she said yes. They talked for a while, and have text a little since, but Jaque saw that she had touched this young lady's life. Just now she is understand the impact that she has on our lives.

She has been going through some struggles. Mostly the expectations from her friends that are not mature enough to understand that she has no control over walking right now. They do not understand that our MAKER has the control. They do not have our MAKER in their lives. For this they will struggle. I try to tell Jaque that you can "bring a horse to water, but cannot make him drink." No matter how much she prays for someone, they have the choice. She must and is making hers, so pray for her journey. It is hard being young. But I tell her that she is the prettiest girl in the world, and Mr. Right is coming, she just has to be ready!

Just because you cannot immediately see the work, does not mean that God is not doing it. And kind of like with santa, if you believe - you will recieve. God says that if two or more gather.....well he better be ready because our line is long.

Please continue to pray Jer 30:17 for Jaque. And take time out to pray for yourself each day. God is listening, we just must see the signs he sends us.

Love you all and enjoy the new picts. JAX - cannot wait to meet you.

Dearest Jaque,
lol thought i was someone else huh? We had such a great time while you guys were here thank you so much for your beautiful smile to remind us that everyday is a new day. I miss you already can't wait to see you next week! I know lately your legs have been going crazy but thank God everytime they do. Maybe God wants them moving to help remind us all their still there and he is working on them. Please always continue to see the positive you maybe missing a little sleep over the wiggly worms but maybe we should be thanking God everytime they do move. As a wonderful sign of life. I'm so proud of you and we are all blessed to see such a wonderful attitude. So many complain about everything. You are a role model in many ways sweetheart. I love you bunches and I believe what you've been waiting on is coming soon so everyone who reads the blogg take time not only to pray but to believe this Christmas that God is more than able to MEET EVERY NEED!!!!!! So blessed to have the family we do. Starting now God I Believe! Thank you for your miracle!!!!

Dear Jaque & Family,

We wanted you to know that we are thinking of all of you on this Christmas. You are always in our prayers and in our hearts. May the lord continue to work in your life as you change the lives of others.

Your a very special young lady, and the presence of the lord shines through you and touches people in a way that is amazing. Have a wonderful time celebrating the birth of Christ this Christmas season, and may the New Year bring you all that your heart dreams of.

Hey Jaque,

Yea that was something else at Merrite. When that little girl ran up to Deanna she smiled the biggest
smile and said Yup, thats my cousin. PROUDLY I might add. Then she ran to talk to you. After, she came back in and two or three high school girls came to sit with her and tell me and her how you inspired them. The glow in that little girls eyes Jaque. She meant it and every word she spoke. One thing she told me was that she would never take a day for granted. This little one looked like she she dranked the water you led her to. Deanna jumped in and said it's not even been a year look at her. Just think next year. Oh, she then added the story about your deer,three wheeler,jet ski and taking her riding around. We love you Jaque. I agree I would rather see those legs twitch and tick you off than not at all.
Love you forever and a day!!!!!!!!!!!
