Be careful for nothing but in everything by prayer and Supplication with thanksgiving. Let your request be made known unto God- Philippians 4:6
When I had you I was steadfast in prayer to be broken by love. to be a better person to your sister and father in Jesus name. I learned that being unlovable is unforgivable and you never regret being loving because that's when God blesses you the most.

Your name was inspired by the Grace of God because from the moment I heard your heart beat I fell in love. You were mine and i spent my whole life living for me and now I have you to live for and I could never ask for a greater miracle from God to show me his love. Because in my belly you brought me back home, united a family and completely changed my path. A blessing to my life from God to bless others. You now have a huge family that loves you and would do anything for you if you ask. I am more humble since you came into my life and the grace God gave me when I didnt deserve it is why I will always be reminded when I look at you. The Lyn was inspired by my mom and a wonderful women of God I met in Vancouver Washington. I never got to tell her she was the most graceful example of a Christian I ever met. I will forever keep her in my heart because the support she showed me while in ministry can never be replaced. Lyn Rush. Together your name is a combination of GraceLyn for the unmerited grace a mother shows her Daughter through love.

Ezra, your middle name, is in the bible as a male name but I want to you to know that you have the strength and power through the Holy Spirit to do what any man can. Don't ever let someone tell you that your dreams and drive are only preserved for a man. That's what they said about the name Ezra and look at you my G.E.M.
