† Check Us Out!!

It's been a good week for JHAM! First the radio signing and today Joy and I met with our city mayor, Cathie Smith to sign a proclamation for our city to recognize November as National Adoption Month! Woo Hoo!!!! After our broadcast on the radio station they have been using bits and pieces of our recording for public service announcements. How cool is that?! Joy got the chance to go back to the station to record even another PSA. It's brought attention to our cause in ways we never expected. We've had individuals send text messages, offer commercial space for a 'headquarters', individuals coming to us showing their interest. It's completely amazing. We've even had individuals share with us that they themselves were adopted and thought what we were doing was terrific. That to me is something.
I think decades ago adoption was not considered or if you did adopt it was taboo. You didn't discuss it and people had a different view of adoption than they do now. I like living in the now!!! After our little visit with the mayor Joy had to go back to work and I had most of the day to spread the word. I started delivering information to area churches and presenting pastors with a letter, brochures, flyers and a CD with a slideshow to share with their congregation. To plead with them to share the message on orphan Sunday and invite their churches to the open house. I just know, like Joy has said that there are people in our community that God is about to call to adopt. He is about to open their hearts and their lives to an indescribable joy they never imagined. We're excited to be a part of it!!! Here is the video that Joy made for our ministry. Enjoy!

We're movin' movin' movin'!!!! We missed Melinda this morning very much but were so happy to bypass this milestone. Joy and I were discussing earlier this week that we must really, REALLY be onto something here. A real movement that pleases our Lord more than we can imagine. There are great things in store for us because the devil is doing everything he can to attempt to prevent our work. Deaths in our families, sick kids, sick spouses, possible job loss in our families. It just keeps coming. But we aren't disturbed by this. As Joy loves to say, "We're disturbed from complacency!" I just like that we're disturbed! lol :)
