They enjoy each other and also enjoy laughing and having fun. Traveling and watching movies is another fun thing this family loves to do. Everyone knows that even though there is no manual on how to raise our kids, we do have the one true guide and that is the Holy Spirit. Joy believes in standing strong in her faith and not changing the direction that GOD has placed her on. She instills these same principles in her children as well. When asked how motherhood has changed her life, Joy shares, "I have a renewed sense of purpose now that i am a mother. It is no longer just about me, and things that I want to do. It is now about three other human beings that God has entrusted to my care. My ministry starts with them!" She understands that ministry starts at home first. Joy and her husband are raising amazing kids under the leadership of Christ. They are an example to all. Authentically You Magazine 57 #AMothersJoy
