Today is my baby sister's birthday! She's turning eighteen. Now she's old enough to join the army, smoke, see an R movie in the theater, and vote. She'd probably only do the last two, depending on the movie.
Jacque and I go back a long way - we had our first fight before she was even born! I was sitting on my mom's lap having a book read to me and she started kicking me. That was pretty much the story of our childhood. Then we got into out teens and we were fine.
I got to be in a life-group with her when she was 15-16, which was really cool. (For those who don't know, a life group is a group of 2-4 people who hold each other accountable.) I got to watch her grow a lot in that time.
Even though she's my little sister there are a lot of ways I really admire her. One thing is that she's a very steady person, it takes a lot to make her focus waver. Another is her super quiet times. The girl will go in her room and totally lose track of time and be in there with God for hours. And although she has dyslexia she reads about ten chapters of the Bible a day! Needless to say she's still growing a lot in her walk with God.
Anyway happy birthday Jacque!! :D

even through you some how messed up the date on your blog, it was cool.
happy birthday (sort of late) to you Jacki--you are an inspiration to me. to cling to God and His faithfulness in the midst of the difficult. i would love to hear some of the things He speaks to you. did you know that PROVEN faith is precious to Him? have a blessed day.

Well, really the only two you can't do are vote and join the army. You can do the others earlier here too, it's just illegal. :s
