I am a Princess!
How do I know?
I know because my Father called me “Princess” most of my life! My legal name is Jacqueline Johnson, and I am delighted to be co-author with Jeanna Young for the Princess Parables Series. The original purpose of these weekly blogs, is to love and encourage you dedicated moms who are diligently working to raise your children with character and love for Jesus.
I am a former foreign missionary and Pastors wife, a mother of two beautiful girls and a grandmother of three delightful princesses and four young princes with the same goal of character focus with eternal values in veiw. I was born in St. Joseph, Missouri as our country was resurfacing from its worst Depression. I attended parochial schools and I was baptized, “catechizemized”, confirmed and on my way to hell!
I knew something real was missing in my life and I desperately needed purpose and definition to all that was going on around me. While attending the University of Arizona, pledging Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, I was challenged to visit a church that introduced me to a God I could know personally through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. This was the missing piece…a person! When Christ walked into my life it was never the same again! I became part of a true Royal Kingdom! “…He has rescued us out of the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of His Son…”(Colossians 1:13). I knew God’s hand and call was on me, and my life’s journey from that day until this moment has been filled with change and eternal purpose.
My co-author Jeanna and I had long searched for wholesome stories for our children (and my grandchildren), and God put it on our hearts to create the Princess Parables Series. The stories introduce a character quality in the name of the Princess and take the storyline from a Parable that was taught by the greatest teacher that ever lived. They have been specifically created to put a functional tool into the hands of young mothers, grandmothers, teachers…that will proactively allow parents to nurture the character of their little princess with a Godly worldview.
The Princesses are designed to inspire godly thoughts and actions in your daughters.
These weekly blogs are my reflections and beliefs,
and hopefully, will inspire you young moms
and advance HIS Royal Kingdom.
.I can’t wait to get to know you better, caring reader,
and encourage you on your journey.
