Weight Gain, Real Life "Trolls" & Choosing to Live | How I Wrote & Produced "Nothin" 

If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of harm in any way, text or call 988 or visit twloha.com

“I woke up and chose to live today.” Powerful. People who really aren’t discerning see surface, superficial things. The internet showcases ignorance. But I have been here from the beginning and I’m excited to see your progression. The LORD is sharpening your discernment for all that is to come. It’s hard being sharpened and being a new wife and mother all at the same time. But the LORD was with you the whole time. You Are Beautiful. Your soul is Beautiful. I’m so proud of you🌻

Sending hugs to all of those who need one 🤗

The number or quotable things you said in this video that cracked me up🤣 "I can forgive you from my house, I'm not going to that lady's Church."😅One thing that didn't change in the last ten years I've been watching your channel is your ability to make me laugh XD

Go Girl! As a child I’ve heard hurtful words. Yet, I had to choose to step on them and keep on walking. ❤🎉

I appreciate your transparency. You're such a blessing to so many girls and women. I want you to know that you are not your body. You know that your weight or whatever struggles you have do not define you. Your worth is 100% defined by your position as a daughter of the king. I know you know that, but sometimes we have to sit with the Lord and let Him show you the depth of that love and acceptance for you. It breaks my heart that you've been treated like that, Jamie. I have so much respect and appreciation for you. I truly treasure our visits together during the Rachael's Pitch process. You are a joy to be around and a daughter of the King.

The AUDACITY of some people!!!! There were so many moments where you said a comment someone made and I was just so taken aback because WHAT EVEN. Thank you for sharing this and I am so glad that you are still here :)

Im so sorry this stuff happened to u jamie. You dont deserve to have ppl bash you for your appearance. Youre beautiful and love the unique hair btw(as always) Ive experienced negative comments about my body as well and it made me feel like crap I pray that you continue to be strong thru this and dont worry! Your fans got ur back 😊 Jesus loves you and sees that heart of gold u have❤

Jamie I'm so proud of you for addressing the hateful comments. I have a daughter your age and as I listened to you being transparent the mother in me came out for a min....I felt like going off on those haters but you what? people like are vexed in their spirit and not at peace with themselves. Jamie you are a champion!! Keep being beautiful inside and definitely outside. Much love to you and your beautiful family ❤️

The nerve and audacity that people have these days is mind numbing. Kudos to you for your courage and boldness to speak out on this! 💪🏾👊🏾

Jaime Grace I have to apologize I was critical of you and even though there is no excuse because I dont know you personally. I'M currently 29 and when I tell you the MENTAL changes between teen to early 20's to early 30's is REAL!! I've learned the value in humility GRACE and the mercy of God. I'm glad that God that God's grace is upon you Jamie ❤️

I prophecy that you will have your actual Jamie Grace show, with thousands of physical and virtual viewers!!! Your voice is still necessary ❤❤❤

Love you Jamie! You are a DAUGHTER of the KING.

Jamie...you dropped SO MANY GEMS for folks in this videoooo!!! 💎💎💎👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 THANK YOU for taking the time to educate people in a loving way!!! 🥰💖🙏🏾

How i wish you can feel all the love we have for you out here much lone from Kenya

People are very BOLD online but not always face to face. It’s great to see how you have continued to press on Inspite of the negativity. God bless you x

You are beautiful Jaime.inside and out stay strong girl 🙏🏻

My hubby said something years ago that still makes me laugh, but is so true, "opinions are like A holes, everyone has one..😅❤, it's true right. ❤❤❤ How we think about ourselves is more important than the opinions of others, I have to remind myself too not to let others view of me influence me.❤

Thank u for being so open jamie! ❤️

Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable, it's so not easy but so encouraging thank you sis ✊🏾👑💖🙏🏾

you are awesome! thank you for sharing and being super vulnerable. so excited for your new music and to show support :)

You have inspired me so much Jamie! For so many years! Your gace, your kindness, your music 🎶 You are beautiful and inspiring on every single expect! Thank you for opening up! I'm so happy you exist 🙏🏾😊

This is one of my favorite videos of all time. Thanks for sharing this with us. Much love!! ❤

Hi Jamie! Thank you for sharing your heart! 🥹 Excited for your new music!

Thanks so much for being real and vulnerable about this topic. It takes a lot to publish work and put your image out online and to take that negative feedback and learn how to love yourself more and live life despite the comments. You continue to be an inspiration and I pray that God blesses you for walking in your purpose! 💜💜

This was so freeing to watch! Thank you for giving us this sweet gift🌻🦋🦋

I'm glad to hear your progress, @Jamie Grace || KEEP GOOD & STAY SAFE; and always PRAY NONSTOP too!

Jaime Grace I love your ministry so much & I applaud you🎉🎉🎉. Keep changing, growing, figuring it out & singing & talking it out. May God bless you & your lovely family❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing your testimony and making a song to equip kids and just people who will go through the same thing. This is the world we live in with social media so we have to have a renowned mind. Thank you so much. Also I have been a fan of your music for a long time now and it has gotten me through some rough seasons in my life. So thank you for you and your family's obedience. God bless. 😊

Loved ur music for years especially when I was also a teenager… thank you for being you! May God continue to bless you and ur fam! Love your hair … I have locs too 😉

Hey, my wife and I love❤ you and your music and spirit. I was just compiling a play list for her and came across this video. Continue your great journey with the grace you bring! Bless you.

Thank you for this, Jamie Grace. This testimony is beautiful and very needed. Your words touched me. Thank you.

Wow. People can be so heartless. 💔💔💔 Thank you for sharing and thank you for being YOU Jamie Grace! 🤍

I whole heartedly understood everything you expressed in this video. Still and always have loved your music, love your personality, and your realness, praying you thrive even more than you already have and that blessing and favor explode all over you and your family’s life.

Hi Jamie! I’m sorry to hear that someone was projecting their own fears on you. Just never forget that Perfect Loves Casts out all fear. You know that God brought you your Boaz. Neither her words brought him to you nor can her words take him from you. What God gives no human can take. That’s something you can rebuke. Keep on keeping on sis! Hug!

We love you, Jaime! Continue to thrive and be you ❤

Such an inspiring video ❤❤❤

You are loved and valued Jamie! I really thank God for your inner circle and pray that God continues to cover you mind, body heart and soul ❤

I am grateful I seen this on Facebook. Another moment of hearing you talk and agreeing you are a real good character. The feeling I have when I listen to you is like the feeling I have talking to and or listening to my best of friends. Thanks for all you do, and I am excited to one day have all your albums. My girl Norah (who is going to be 11 on Sept 17th😊) has enjoyed listening and singing songs of yours with me and started doing it by herself now. Excited as a Mom, StepMom, Friend, Daughter, Fiancé and an individual Character to have you and others have this ability to talk and put into a song for others to feel comfortable sharing as well. Depending on a person’s Characteristics things can sink in better from talk, song, rhyming, stories, and there is art. Art comes in so many forms in all the styles of communication. I could go on and on but back to the fact of I wanted to say thank you for all you do and all you have done and gone through. Without the good and bad we wouldn’t be who we are today. I am thankful I am me and Thank you for being you. I feel same feelings with how people and sometimes ourselves can take us or others down and not even realize it. Glad you were able to feel yourself slipping away from yourself. I get that, and I get when a person realizes it too late also. Every person has it a bit different or a lot different than another and We cant put ourselves in someone’s shoes and say I understand completely but a person can stand in their own shoes and have an understanding to a point. Thanks for sharing. For realz! Glad to have come across this message of yours. Really hit home for me in many aspects. Appreciate ❤️

God bless you Jamie Grace I really needed this

Cant wait to hear your new music! 🎶🎉❤🥰 im thankful for you and what the Lord has taught me through you.🙏🏼❤️

Also with my daughter, she has dealt with a lot of bullying; people her age and older including adults saying she is not being bullied and she needs to toughen up. I know sometimes there is a fine line but same time the reasons behind what is said or done makes all the difference. I am thankful to have another person with good characteristics for my girl Norah to hear and see. To help her remember she is who she is and she can be proud of that and keep moving forward. Be as positive as she can be, respectful, mindful, and love to learn and grown; even when others don’t like it and try to break her down. It is good to have the underStanding of what and why a person tries to tale someone down to help bring them up. If possible. Even when a nasty comment is made and you reply with a simple comment of, sorry you feel that way. Again, so thankful you keep growing With your input with talk and songs that you share. It is majorly respected and appreciated.

❤❤❤❤ you are a beautiful person remain positive. By the way read your book 👍🏾. I have shared your music with my grand children. Love ya much

I love you Jamie ! Thank you for sharing and being real!! I felt this your amazing !!♡♡♡♡♡♡❤❤❤❤

You have the most BEAUTIFUL spirit!!! I love you!!!

Jamie, you are loved! Please silence the voice of the enemy. Your baby needs you, your husband needs you, your family needs you and WE need you.!❤️🙏🏽🙌🏾

Thank you for sharing this Jamie Grace. I appreciate you so much. You’ve been a tremendous impact in my life in really dark times. I believe God used you in my life as a source of his grace and joy and light in the midst of darkness. It’s a shame the world is so hurtful but I’m proud of you for pushing through. You are so beautiful.

I was just watching your videos from 14 yrs ago(testify to love). Its amazing how u’ve grown up by the grace if God.😊

Even though I’ve only recently started following you, I feel that in some ways I can truly relate to you, especially in this sense! Thank you so much Jamie, for being you, for being who God has made you to be, thank you for always encouraging us, inspiring us, and being as honest as you feel the need to be with us!!!! Just thank you 🤯🤍❤️🙏🏽💕

I absolutely love you. God bless you in every season and stage of your life❤.

My daughter needs to hear all of this

I enjoyed listening to your “podcast”; your transparency and being open about your fears, experiences in such a genuine way was refreshing. You are a beautiful woman inside and out. There are more people for you than against you. If God be for you who can be against you. May the Lord continue to keep, strengthen and prosper you in HIS way❤

Omg I fell asleep to your song “You’re not alone” EVERY DAY for years! ❤❤❤ 17:27

Thanks for sharing your heart! It takes courage to do so. I have no doubt this "new you" will be a HUGE BLESSING for many! PS: I actually liked the first: lAaAter! hehehe

jamie jamie jamie omg i have the attention span of a squirrel but i listened HARD through this whole thing thank you so much for this

Hey Jamie, I've been listening to your music since I was a little girl and I. In my late twenties now. I saw your onne in real life when you came to Trinidad's O2 concert and I was just over the moon. Thank you for being so very real and empathetic as a Christian artist. Thank you for speaking up in grace about things and issues that matter. Thank you for being authenticity and unapologetically you. Thank you for being the image of a Child of God. You are lived and appreciated, Jamie. By those immediately in your life and all the way down here in the Caribbean by a girl like me too. Thank you for being an artist in my life that has changed my life! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for speaking about this. It was disheartening to hear all the hate and negativity some are trying to project onto you. It's sad how much negativity, shallowness and superficialness is in some people and how little light or positivity they have to share. Even though you're talking about your own life it encouraged me very much lol actually. One thing I would say about haters or people being judgmental that can apply to all of us is: if anyone says they like, care, or support you and they are unwilling to listen to you even if they disagree or if they cannot see you as deserving of respect when you change in any way they are not truly a friend or supporter. A lot of these former "fans" or "supporters" only liked Jamie in a superficial way, they see her as a product, they liked only her outside image. Once her appearance changed or she revealed things about herself that formerly were more private suddenly they don't like her anymore. These people were never genuinely accepted all of who she is, they only liked her in a superficial, shallow way.

You have tremendously blessed me with this message. I have been afraid to make some songs that I have already written afraid of what church people may think about it. It's not secular but if I say God instead of Jehovah or Yahuah I may get blasted by members that I am connected and if Im honest that makes me nervous about. But I admire your ability to just be freely yourself and break away from hateful opinions. That's a beauty this world will never understand.....the beauty of being true and not fake. I speak blessings over you and your marriage. Your husband is a true man of God who loves you and will NEVER leave you because he took a vow and will hold to it forever and he is still attracted to you because you are his best friend and he'll never find another person who he feels safe to be his true self just like he makes you feel safe to be your true self. I pray that you have many more beautiful years together as husband and wife for what God has brought together let NO man separate. You are a rare beauty, inside and outside. We pray over those that spoke negative about you because they are insecure and jealous and have not been made perfect in the love of God in their heart yet but we pray that they may delivered from the spirit of rejection and bitterness, hatred and envy. We also thank God for allowing all things to work together for your good as it made you release a new hit, produced by yourself that is so awesome and it is going to help so many girls around the world to heal and have an outlet song whenever they are feeling doubtful. Love you Jamie. Thanks for being true!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I Believe In Yourself Jamie!!!🤗💖

My sweet sister!!! Your voice is so necessary. Your life is so necessary. Keep being light and moving towards the life the God has pre-destined for you. I love you!

Always been inspired by you! And it's been so cool "growing up" with you like having a pen pal. We are the same age and went through similar phases of life at the same time. And if I was facing something I would pop in and see how you were handling it. Thank you for always being so vulnerable, so in love with Jesus and so real. You are braver than most of us. If you ever find yourself in South Africa, it would be great to connect with you and your family.

You go, girl! 🎉 It's been my dream to be a singer as teen, but life happen, but it's never too late.

I wish everyone would leave her alone. Yes she's changed. But she's growing up. And had a baby. She's still jamie grace. Uplifting people with her kind heart.

Hi Jamie 👋. God bless you and your family richly and abundantly ❤❤❤ Just remember that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Mandisa's song "Unfinished " would uplift anyone's spirit. Be encouraged and know that many people share your pain. God's love is so much bigger for you. Much love ❤️

I really love your locs!!! 😍🥰🥰

Love you Jamie. ❤

Jamie you'll always be Awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

It's sad how hateful some people are. But thank God there are many awesome people still here too. You are absolutely beautiful, it's just the enemy's way to get us down. You keep on going girl you rrrrock.❤❤ Hugs from Washington State. God bless.

Jamie you look amazing!! I would've never known that you are 31. You remind me of someone in their early 20s. Love you!

You are a big Blessing to our Generation

You are AWESOME!!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Your transparency in the midst of so much ugliness on social media is a reminder….LIGHT shines brighter in darkness. You are a light and I’m praising God that He is shining bright through you!!!! May the grace of God continue to undergird you and empower you in Jesus mighty name. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. Thank you!!!! 😊😊😊👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I love this Jamie. You are an amazing positive roll model. For all the people that have fell off may God bless u many more. We have met you. Have we ever signed poster from Greensboro I do believe. We also have a funny story when we did find out that you were black my daughter had just gotten her first iPod and we wanted to pay our favorite song at the time. This was in front of the whole family at Christmas we pulled up the song and realized you were black. Of course it didn't matter anyway we loved your music......and who u are in Christ. Some of our favorite family times have been singing Jamie Grace. God Girl, Do Life BIG on her 16th Birthday. As someone who carries/ delivers / imparts/ the garment of praise, the spirit of heaviness may try to rest on you but it cannot stay! Also in reference to your brass comment, try a small hometown symphony like Roanoke VA. You can probably hire them flying out to LA cheaper than you can hire somebody in that area. UW.

The realest real @11:04 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

8:31 Sis, if a man cheats because of Weight gain … it’s NOT because of weight gain. 😳😳 The church is soooooo worldly!!! I have tiger 🐅 strips on my belly and they fit the claws of my husband finger tips!! ❤️🙏🏽 #Warrior!! 👑 TUNE OUT THE NOISE AND LIVE FOR GOD AND GOD ALONE!! Oh and your locs are popping!! Welcome aboard!!! 😊 blessings!! 💝👑👑 We’re praying for you.

Jamie- you touched my heart in a way that caused me to be angry with those who hurt you. Be steadfast and continue to strengthen yourself in the Lord. One of the hardest things in life is to see the Word alive and true about people, especially others who we thought were in the boat with us. Girl you are bold to even open the door . Stay strong and live sweetheart.

It super connects with me!!!!! Way to go for producing it yourself!!!!! Want to be your best friend ❤ love you so MUCH

Love you ❤

You and I are online besties, I just know it!!! Everything about you❤❤🎉 just Lord, thank Youuuuu for Jamie Grace!!!! I love your personality, rawness, purity, goofiness, JOY. The Lord shines through you😊❤

It’s so much more important things in one’s own lives to be dealing with or doing than to be concerned with how someone else’s life is. I’ve never understood internet trolls. Like too much idle time than doing something fun or learning about themselves or God’s Word. ❤❤

Jamie, I LOVE YOU! I cannot tell you how loud I laughed at you feeling grown saying "your man". I'm a newlywed, and I giggle at myself because I say it all the time now to feel grown😂❤️

Jamie you are one of my favorite artist in the world I look forward to your video people will love one minute and hate the next minutes that life just keep on being you as a christian remember Jesus doesn't judge he love us no matter what stay strong in the lord👏🪕🎤🎸💻📱🎶🎶

"I can forgive you from my house. I'm not goin' to that lady's church" 😂

Sending love ❤

This broke my heart. Jamie, I'm so sorry. You're amazing. I don't know what it's like to be known, but I do know what it's like to choose life. Thank you for inspiring me for years as a big sister in Christ, may He continue to give you strength, peace and joy! God is using you in this too. May we all as the Body of Christ love better.

Thank you so much for sharing ❤️You are so incredibly wise, gifted and kind despite all you’ve gone through. God is with you and your family and I’m so excited new music is coming out!!!

Girl said “butthead”… you know she is a child of the King! 😂😂

Are you locking your hair? It looks so good

i looooooooooooooooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee you Jamie

Girl, people just don't know! Every day i choose to live. I literally had a lady go to a manager about me being myself, which is happy to children on the outside and deep trauma and sorrow and disease in the inside. She doesn't know and i can't let her get to me. Thank you for this.

Sorry about that Jamie by the way I love it when you talk, I like listening to you.

Deliverance 😊

@JG .. You’re beautiful!! 🙏🏽👏🏽❤️

Girl I've gained weight too😂😂😂 we are getting older but stronger in Christ❤❤❤❤💪🏾 I've been bullied by church folks too it's sad but God reveals

Jamie I love you and, the Lord is with you to many women we experience changes in our bodies and we grow. Your soul is very beautiful focus on God's will for your life and that taking care of yourself is also important I love all your songs. Critics will always be there but what matters most is your focus though you can learn from them and correct some areas that need to be corrected.God bless you your family ❤❤❤❤❤

Jamie Grace. Is there anyway you can have a shower curtain created for the daughter of king theme? I just think the bath mat would be beautiful with shower curtain and poster.

Not going to that lady's church😂😂😂😂
