What is a normal life? I don’t know if I have seen one yet.

The words of James 1:2 Dear brothers and sisters, whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy..

Well as most of you know 2007 hasn’t necessarily been the best year on record for the Jaffe’s. but can I tell you, I am more filled with faith and joy than I have been in a long time.

The church has stepped up and come out. It has been amazing to see folks come deliver food, prayers, promises. Wow.. It is amazing to be a part of Journey Church.. We love you guys!

Holly took a great leap forward today as she got into a wheel chair for the very first time and was able to see her daughter for the first time since the accident. Mary Jo took Janna up to the hospital and was able to take Holly for a little stroll. Even got some coffee downstairs.

MJ’s mom headed back to North Carolina and Steve and Tammy are takign care of Janna..

So life is starting to return to some semblance of normalcy.

People have asked what do we need.. Prayer right now. Especially that Holly would be able to get into Brooks Rehab.. It is very important for her to get into a quality rehab soon.

and take action

Senators and Congressional Reps should be aware that our Department of State has urged the Guatemalan Congress to pass an adoption law which offers no plan for (1) funding adequately (2) child care (3) services to pregnant women and vulnerable children; and that the Guatemalan Congress will be discussing amendments on Tuesday Oct.9. The DOS should encourage amendments …which include a realistic funding plan, child care plan, and prenatal, natal and postnatal services as well as a realistic way for existing child care facilities to be able to care for the children in their care (funding).

Families should call and fax the Department of State directly to urge support for amendments which could make this law more functional, as well as advocate for a grandfather clause and a delayed date for the law taking effect, so that fewer children will be at risk.
