My Name is
Gracious
Gracious
Gracious’ mother died of stomach cancer shortly after giving birth to her. Gracious' father abandoned her and her sister, Felistas. They were placed in the care of their elderly grandmother who was already caring for five children. She had very little means of support. Today Gracious is in the 5th grade. Gracious believes the Bible is the truth and it is about Jesus Christ who is the Son of God. She spends time alone reading God's word and praying. God has answered her prayer to be more attentive to what adults are telling her. He also is answering her prayer to have more love for others. When she does something wrong, Gracious feels bad and sad. She knows she was wrong and needs forgiveness. Gracious is growing in self-control and truthfulness, but is asking God to help her be obedient and have love. Gracious says she knows God has saved her and made her His child.
