Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Jamie Grace learned
two powerful lessons: one, that ministry is a way of life; two, that
life is good, even when it’s hard. Diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at
age 11, her young life became a series of heartbreak and challenge, a
long season of physical exhaustion, emotional stress and spiritual
doubt.
Then one day, inspired by the powerful testimony of Tammy Trent on
the Revolve Tour, Jamie Grace came to a life-changing conclusion. “I
heard [Tammy] speak and I thought, ‘I’ve cried enough. It’s time to
accept my joy.’ It was just the long process of finally realizing that,
even with Tourette’s, I still have something to do with my life. I love
to sing. I have a story, and I’ve got to share it.” Fast-forward just three short years, and that decision is already
bearing beautiful fruit, proving (again) that nothing is impossible with
God. Today, at 19, Jamie Grace is a junior in college (yes, that’s
right; she finished high school early), studying children’s ministry.
She is sharing her story of resilience and hope in GraceTalk, a monthly
mentoring group for young girls she started when she was 15, on JCTV’s
“iShine KNECT,” and is now a featured speaker/performer on the 2011
Revolve Tour. |
