Dear Christian Parent, Introduce Your Child To Jamie Grace

I first heard Jamie Grace on a family vacation in Florida when local Christian radio station Z88.3 played one of her songs.

Today it is 1st June 2018. Today we turn 24! (How crazy is that?!) I hardly feel like we’re adulty enough to be able to be classed as an adult. It wasn’t an easy road to get here, not by any means, but we’ve made it, and we have learned a lot. Obviously, we still have an awful lot to learn.
