Every year I look forward to attending the JOY Breakfast, an annual event put on by
JOY International right here in Bismarck, ND. Not only do I look forward to attending this amazing event that draws nearly 700 women, I also look forward to volunteering and helping out as needed. This year I was a table hostess and helped put together over 100 name tags for all the hostesses, volunteers and leadership team.
Each year, the breakfast has a wonderful nationally-recognized speaker. This year, Bismarck was blessed to have Micca Campbell, a speaker with Proverbs 31 ministry, fly here from her warm home in Nashville, Tennessee. She talked about the secret to finding contentment and gave part of her testimony which entailed becoming a widow at the age of 21 while being a new mom.
Along with the speaker there was beautiful music, a skit that every woman could relate to, prayer and lots of door prizes. I had so much fun seeing my JOY friends and meeting some new ones too. I was also blessed that some of my family could come again this year.
It was truly a wonderful event and I definitely "Experienced the Joy!"
