I save babies...and their Mamas!

On Jan 2, 2016 I settled into the driver seat of my old but trusty red suburban. I had a 12 hour trip ahead of me and it was already 5:30pm. I was starting in McAllen, Texas, a town that borders Mexico, and heading to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I planned to drive all the way through so I took a deep breath, adjusted my seat and exhaled telling myself "You can do this Jayna, you can do this." Knowing it would get dark soon and all I would have to look at was the road just in front of me, I had brought an audio book that I knew would interest me - The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson. I had heard it was controversial but life changing :) I was looking forward to finding out why people were so skeptical of it's contents and was hoping I would see through the controversy to the truth that the author was intending to convey.

"Chapter 1 The Legend of the Circle Maker...". I listened. I heard. I sought. I spoke...

From the depths of my soul I cried out "OK. Let's do this! I don't want my legacy to be that I was a successful IT Manager. I want my legacy to be that I worked for YOU, Lord...that everything I did in my life was for YOU. What do YOU want me to do FOR You?"

I had no idea that that was my last moment of living for myself and that I would spend every waking moment and many dreaming moments praying, planning, and preparing for a life of saving babies. The vision hit me like lightening. Straight to the core of my soul. I knew at that moment, without a doubt, what my mission in life was. God laid upon me His vision that was so true to me, so soul saturating that the cells in my body exploded with joy and purpose. I was going to save babies!

Jericho Young Mothers Home was born that day with a clear direction from God to love and support young girls who are pregnant. It is a place where the "walls come tumbling down"...the walls of life that stifle love and acceptance. It is our mission to provide young mothers with love, acceptance, encouragement, self-discipline, education, child care, and spiritual guidance in a family atmosphere to empower them not only to become great young mothers but to equip them to do more than just get by…equip them to become successful and excellent leaders.

Take a peek at what love can accomplish. This young mother was homeless, desperate, despondent and very sick when she arrived at Jericho Young Mothers Home. Look at her now! Full of joy, gratefulness, embracing her heritage and looking forward to the future. https://vimeo.com/278390829

I save babies...and their Mamas!

Please let me know you are praying for me!
