I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again - I love the fact that serving in Media Ministry allows me to take part in so many other ministries.
Last Sunday First Baptist celebrated Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. The focus this year was on adoption. Selah joined our morning worship services and then came back that evening for a very moving concert.
While Selah was singing “Bless The Broken Road” on Sunday morning, families that had either adopted or had been adopted flooded the aisles and made their way up to the stage. Just seeing the impact that adoption had made in our church alone was amazing. I pray for those who have been adopted, who have adopted children and who are going through the adoption process now.

Adoption stories
Today I have the opportunity to shoot interviews with two couples who have chosen adoption. We filmed the first couple this afternoon. They chose to adopt a child domestically (east Tennessee). Hearing the story of not only their unconditional love for this child, but of the birth mother’s unselfish sacrifice is a great reminder of the love God has for us.
The second couple adopted internationally (China). They brought their baby home just after Christmas. We’ll film them in a couple hours. I can’t wait to see how God is using them to change the course of this child’s life forever...and how He is using this little baby to change theirs.

A clean slate
So tell me, is it two-thousand-ten or is it twenty-ten? Either way, it's a new year!
I love turning the calendar from December to January and beginning a new year. I always feel like I get to start with a clean slate.
In the book of Lamentations, Jeremiah wrote:
"Because of the LORD's faithful love we do not perish, for His mercies never end. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness! I say: The LORD is my portion, therefore I will put my hope in Him."
His mercies are new EVERY morning...not because of what I did or didn't do, but because of "the Lord's faithful love".
I pray that you will put your hope in Him this year...regardless of your circumstances. His faithfulness is great; His mercies never end; He is our portion.
