00:24:46But more and more showing up.

00:24:49Can you not?

00:24:51It's Joy's party.

00:24:52That's why more people are coming.

00:24:56I hear a certain little one celebrating their seventh birthday.

00:25:00Auntie Kay!

00:25:01Hey, Joy.

00:25:02Happy birthday.

00:25:04Here, I have something for you.

00:25:08Whoa, what is it, Auntie Kay?

00:25:10You want your Auntie Kay to tell you what it is?

00:25:13You don't put that gift with the other gifts and go play.

00:25:17Thanks, Auntie Kay.

00:25:19I love you.

00:25:20Oh, I love you too, Joy.

00:25:23Hey, big bro.

00:25:24Hey, Janice.

00:25:26Hey, sis.

00:25:27Hey, Kay.

00:25:27I didn't think you were going to make it.

00:25:29I wouldn't miss my niece's party for nothing.

00:25:32You're such a spoiler.

00:25:33Now, the rest of y'all's birthdays, that's a different story.

00:25:39Wow.

00:25:41She had a really nice turnout.

00:25:44Too many people.

00:25:46I specifically told Janice not to invite a lot of people.

00:25:51But you completely disregarded what I said.

00:25:56Well, I mean, I didn't mean to start anything, but...

00:26:00Look, Calvin.

00:26:01I'm not having this conversation with you now or later.

00:26:05This party would go as I planned.

00:26:10Sweetie, are you having fun?

00:26:13Yes, but are you and Mom happy?

00:26:15Of course.

00:26:17Mommy and Daddy are just having a little conversation right now.

00:26:21About my party, isn't it?

00:26:23Then you go finish playing with your guest.

00:26:25Yeah, go have fun.

00:26:26We're fine.

00:26:29Okay.

00:26:31Mommy, are you excited like I am?

00:26:34Of course she is.

00:26:36The party's going just as she planned.

00:26:39It's your special day.

00:26:41Now go have some fun.

00:26:50Are you happy now, Cub?

00:26:52Thanks to you, Joyce upset now.

00:27:00Who's ready to sing happy birthday?

00:27:05Happy birthday!

00:27:18May God bless you

00:27:22In whatever you do

00:27:27May God bless you

00:27:29May all your dreams come true

00:27:39Do you want to open?

00:27:40That one.

00:27:41Okay.

00:27:48A phone!

00:27:50Oh, wait.

00:27:51Who am I going to call?

00:27:53I don't have anyone's number.

00:27:55I'm sure you'll find someone to talk to.

00:27:57How about you open up your next gift?

00:28:00This is the best gift ever, Auntie Kay.

00:28:03You really like that phone, huh?

00:28:06Now I don't know who you're going to call

00:28:08But how about you open up your other gifts?

00:28:11Can I open my gifts later and go play?

00:28:14Sure you can.

00:28:15All right.

00:28:35Calvin.

00:28:37Hey.

00:28:38Thanks for inviting us out.

00:28:39We really had a good time.

00:28:41Absolutely.

00:28:41Have a great night.

00:28:43Yep.

00:28:54Hi, God.

00:28:55It's me, Joy.

00:28:58Thank you for making this the best birthday.

00:29:02Please bless my dad, my mom, and me.

00:29:07Oh, and my Auntie Kay for giving me this phone so I can talk to you.

00:29:13Amen.

00:29:18And don't forget to wake us up tomorrow morning.

00:29:22Amen.

00:29:42Just like I thought.

00:29:46Just like you thought what, Calvin?

00:29:48I can't believe you still running around here fussing about your daughter's party.

00:29:52Which was a success, if I may add.

00:29:55We had way too many guests, Janice.

00:29:58But you won't admit it because that's exactly what you wanted.

00:30:02It's not about the number of guests.

00:30:05It's about Joy's happiness.

00:30:09Why did a seven-year-old need to invite so many kids to a party?

00:30:13We will not be throwing enormous parties like that every year.

00:30:18Until Joy is 18, her parties will always be playing my way.

00:30:24And the sooner you get that through your head, the better off we'll be.

00:30:28Yeah.

00:30:39Okay, bye.

00:30:41Okay.

00:30:42You want to go to this extravagant party?

00:30:44Then you have to ask about it.

00:30:46I am done for having to clean up after everything.

00:30:50Hey, you've got a nerve to be reading it, baby.

00:30:52Relax.

00:30:54Hi, God.

00:30:56It's me, Joy.

00:30:58I don't think Dad was happy about my birthday party today.

00:31:02They argued a lot.

00:31:05A whole lot.

00:31:07Please make them stop fussing and be kind to each other.

00:31:11Amen.

00:31:25No help from you whatsoever.

00:31:28Are you, Don?

00:31:40Good morning, Joy.

00:31:51Who is that seven-year-old big girl in my kitchen?

00:31:58Joy?

00:32:00What's wrong?

00:32:01I thought my birthday party would be special.

00:32:05It was special.

00:32:07No, it wasn't.

00:32:09Why do you feel that it wasn't special?

00:32:12You had a lot of people that came out to your party to celebrate you.

00:32:16Because I heard you and Dad arguing about too many people being here the whole time.

00:32:23Your dad just has some things to get used to, don't you, Dad?

00:32:29Joy, you know your dad has never lied to you before.

00:32:33And I'm not about to start now.

00:32:36Dad felt like...

00:32:37Calvin!

00:32:37Don't.

00:32:39There were way too many people at your party yesterday.

00:32:42And that was a discussion between Mom and Dad.

00:32:45We didn't mean to upset you.

00:32:47If you hadn't made such a big deal about it, she wouldn't be sad this morning.

00:32:51This is all your fault.

00:32:53Let's go, Joy.

00:32:54So you won't be late.

00:32:56Grab your backpack, your lunchbox, and let's go.

00:33:04Learn something new today, baby.

00:33:06Have a great day.

00:33:08Okay, I will.

00:33:09Bye, Mommy.

00:33:11It's especially if Sarah and Annie don't come to school today.

00:33:15I know, right?

00:33:17Reading was super cool.

00:33:19Look, Annie, her hair's in the same style.

00:33:22Are you surprised?

00:33:23That's the only style she wears.

00:33:25Don't you guys have something better to talk about?

00:33:28Yeah!

00:33:29A new hairstyle for you.

00:33:31God, please make him stop teasing me.

00:33:34Let's go.

00:33:53Today we'll be talking about exploring change.

00:33:57Change means when something becomes different or something new happens.

00:34:02For example, has anyone seen a caterpillar change into a butterfly?

00:34:07Yes.

00:34:09Can anyone else give me an example of a change?

00:34:13Caleb.

00:34:14We used to live in an apartment, but now we live in a house.

00:34:17Yes, very good.

00:34:18That is a form of change.

00:34:20Anyone else?

00:34:22Sarah.

00:34:23If Joy changes her hair from braids to another style,

00:34:26would that be a form of change?

00:34:31Yes, that would be a change.

00:34:35But Sarah, that's not the form of change that we're exploring today.

00:34:39Okay, who wants to help pass out homework?

00:34:43Thanks, Joy.

00:34:46Tonight, your homework is on critical thinking.

00:34:48I want you guys to use your imaginations and write out two ways in which it can change.

00:34:55You can even draw pictures to make it more fun.

00:34:58Now, you guys are dismissed.

00:35:28What's wrong?

00:35:31That dog, she's so mean.

00:35:34She's always chasing me.

00:35:36That dog is not mean.

00:35:39I have to run back to the office to grab a file I've been working on.

00:35:42I'll be back shortly, okay?

00:35:44Oh.

00:35:45Well, Joy, don't get too comfortable.

00:35:46I need to run to the store.

00:35:48Can I stay here?

00:35:50Please?

00:35:51Oh, you're too young to stay home by yourself.

00:35:54I promise.

00:35:55I'll go in my room and lock the door.

00:35:58I won't come out until you turn.

00:36:00Don't be silly.

00:36:02The answer is no.

00:36:03So let's go.

00:36:05Okay.

00:36:13Unlock the car, Mom.

00:36:18Unlock the car, Mom.

00:36:24Hello?

00:36:25Hello, Cowan.

00:36:26This is Pastor.

00:36:28I was calling to check in with Sister Janice.

00:36:31She's not here right now, Pastor.

00:36:33Okay.

00:36:35Well, let her know we miss seeing her at church.

00:36:40Daddy, we're back.

00:36:42Oh, wait.

00:36:43Pastor, you're in luck.

00:36:44She just walked in.

00:36:46Hold on a second.

00:36:48This for you.

00:36:57Hello?

00:36:58Hello, Janice.

00:37:00It's Pastor.

00:37:03How are you?

00:37:05I'm well.

00:37:06And you?

00:37:08God is good.

00:37:12Is everything okay?

00:37:15I'm fine.

00:37:18Um, did you need to speak back to Calvin?

00:37:21Actually, I wanted to chat with you.

00:37:24I haven't seen you in church over the past several weeks.

00:37:28I can't be missed, Pastor.

00:37:30You have a whole congregation to keep you busy.

00:37:33That's true.

00:37:36But when members of attendance start going off course,

00:37:39I need to find out why.

00:37:43Is there a reason why you haven't attended church?

00:37:48I appreciate your concern, Pastor.

00:37:51But I'm just not in the mood for church right now.

00:37:55Oh.

00:37:58I see.

00:38:02That's more reason for you to join us every week.

00:38:06You know, church can be a source of comfort and strength during challenging times.

00:38:12I never said I was facing anything challenging.

00:38:15You know, okay.

00:38:17Um, thank you for calling, Pastor.

00:38:20Well, our doors are always open if you need to talk.

00:38:25Will we see you Sunday?

00:38:28I'll try.

00:38:30All right.

00:38:31Bye-bye.

00:38:36Hi, God.

00:38:38It's me, Joy.

00:38:40My mom talked to the pastor today,

00:38:42and I can tell she wasn't very happy with him

00:38:46or my dad for giving her the phone.

00:38:49Do you know what's wrong with her?

00:38:52Please touch her with kindness.

00:38:54Amen.

00:39:12Why did you put me on a spot like that the other day?

00:39:15Like what?

00:39:17With our pastor.

00:39:19Well, he is our pastor.

00:39:21Exactly.

00:39:22At church.

00:39:23Not in my kitchen.

00:39:25Do you even hear yourself right now?

00:39:28The question is, do you hear me?

00:39:32Don't do that again.

00:39:34If I want to speak with the pastor,

00:39:36I'll contact him.

00:39:38Until then,

00:39:39all his future calls are for your ears only.

00:39:44What has gotten into you?

00:39:47You're short-tempered with me.

00:39:49You're not attending church.

00:39:50And now you're rude

00:39:52towards the pastor?

00:39:55We used to be a team, Janice.

00:39:58If I didn't want to sit here

00:40:00and listen to his lectures,

00:40:02what makes you think

00:40:03I want to sit here and listen to yours?

00:40:12God.

00:40:17God.

00:40:18God,

00:40:18I know prayer unlocks the door of patience.

00:40:25So I'm praying.

00:40:27I'm praying that you unlock those doors of patience

00:40:30right now, dear God.

00:40:33Please.

00:40:35Unlock those doors of patience.

00:40:48Daddy,

00:40:49you pray by yourself?

00:40:51I do.

00:40:53We all should pray to God,

00:40:55whether we're by ourselves

00:40:57or in a group.

00:40:59Can I tell you a secret?

00:41:01Sure you can, sweetie.

00:41:03I pray to God, too.

00:41:04Aw.

00:41:06There's nothing to be ashamed about, sweetheart.

00:41:08And I know God is very happy with you.

00:41:12But he doesn't tell me he's happy.

00:41:15Does God only talk to adults?

00:41:17Oh, no, sweetie.

00:41:19God is here for everyone.

00:41:22And he talks to us

00:41:23in his own unique way.

00:41:25He has the whole world to listen to.

00:41:29He'll get to your prayers soon.

00:41:31But remember,

00:41:33you must keep the faith.

00:41:36I love you, Daddy.

00:41:37And I love Mommy, too.

00:41:39And how much do we love you?

00:41:43This much.

00:41:51Amen.

00:41:58Mom?

00:41:59Yes?

00:42:00Did kids ever tease you

00:42:02when you were in school?

00:42:04I faced my fair share

00:42:05of teasing back then.

00:42:08You're so strong.

00:42:09How did you deal with them?

00:42:11I didn't.

00:42:12That's why I'm not

00:42:13taking any crap off anyone.

00:42:15Honey,

00:42:16do you have to use that word?

00:42:18What word?

00:42:19Crap?

00:42:20Joy's already dealing

00:42:21with problems in school.

00:42:22Now is the time

00:42:23to toughen her up.

00:42:24She's going to hear

00:42:25and see more than that

00:42:26in the streets.

00:42:27Then let her hear it

00:42:28in the streets.

00:42:29If Joy's having issues

00:42:31at school,

00:42:32our home should be

00:42:33a positive place for her.

00:42:36Over the years,

00:42:37I have learned

00:42:38that standing up

00:42:39for yourself is vital.

00:42:41I want to be

00:42:42just like Mommy

00:42:43when I grow up.

00:42:48You should want

00:42:48to be like Joy

00:42:49when you grow up.

00:42:51God wants us

00:42:52to be like ourselves.

00:42:53Dad,

00:42:55I don't think God

00:42:56would mind

00:42:57if I'm like Mommy.

00:42:58That's my girl.

00:43:03Hurry up and eat

00:43:03your food, okay?

00:43:05All right.

00:43:07You're done?

00:43:08Yeah.

00:43:09Okay.

00:43:10Go ahead and get ready

00:43:11for bed.

00:43:11All right.

00:43:12All right.

00:43:20You and I both know

00:43:21that child doesn't need

00:43:23in your footsteps.

00:43:25What's the problem now?

00:43:27You want to argue

00:43:28because she wants

00:43:28to be like me?

00:43:29No, Janice.

00:43:30What bothered me

00:43:31is that you couldn't

00:43:32handle this conversation

00:43:33in a more positive manner.

00:43:37We are having a dinner

00:43:39conversation

00:43:40in our home,

00:43:42not in our office

00:43:44group counseling session.

00:43:52Hi, God.

00:43:54It's me, Joy.

00:43:55Can you get between

00:43:57Mommy and Daddy

00:43:58and stop them

00:43:59from fussing

00:44:00right now?

00:44:01I really want them

00:44:03to be happy.

00:44:05Good night, God.

00:44:07Amen.

00:44:37Hold on, Brad.

00:44:38Good morning.

00:44:39How you doing?

00:44:40Good to see you, honey.

00:44:40Hi, God.

00:44:42How come I'm the only one

00:44:44my neighbor's dog chases?

00:44:54Hey, honey.

00:44:55Are you ready to go?

00:44:56Yep.

00:44:57I don't want to go to school.

00:45:00Are you feeling okay?

00:45:02Yeah.

00:45:03Then why don't you

00:45:04want to go to school?

00:45:05Because of Annie and Sarah.

00:45:07Honey, you're going to

00:45:08have to learn

00:45:09to ignore them.

00:45:24Listen, I need to ask

00:45:25a question.

00:45:27How many of you

00:45:28have ever prayed to God

00:45:30and you felt like

00:45:31you didn't get an answer?

00:45:34That doesn't mean

00:45:35that God doesn't

00:45:37hear your prayers.

00:45:38Listen, the same way

00:45:40He enjoys us

00:45:42coming into the house

00:45:42of the Lord,

00:45:43He also enjoys

00:45:45seeing us come together

00:45:46in prayers.

00:45:49Listen, I need you

00:45:50to get this.

00:45:52In Matthews,

00:45:54the 18th chapter,

00:45:56the 20th verse,

00:45:57God is coming to church

00:45:59with two or three

00:46:00of course you will,

00:46:01sweetie.

00:46:01I gather together

00:46:02and I must pay attention

00:46:02to the pastor

00:46:03so we don't miss anything.

00:46:04I'm there among them.

00:46:05Meaning,

00:46:06when two or more

00:46:07come together

00:46:08in agreement,

00:46:10whatever they ask

00:46:11will be done.

00:46:16Listen, I'm your pastor.

00:46:18So listen,

00:46:19sometimes we got to think

00:46:20outside the box

00:46:22and think of a more

00:46:23creative approach

00:46:25into discovering God.

00:46:28I mean,

00:46:29God made it very clear

00:46:30in Matthews 18,

00:46:32didn't he?

00:46:33Are you okay?

00:46:33So listen,

00:46:34I'm your pastor

00:46:34so what I'm encouraging

00:46:36you to do is

00:46:37Are we going straight

00:46:37for him after this?

00:46:39Unless there's

00:46:40somewhere else

00:46:41you would like to go?

00:46:42No praying circle

00:46:43and see what it does

00:46:44in your life.

00:46:45Amen?

00:46:49Mommy,

00:46:50can we play dress up?

00:46:51Not now, Joy.

00:46:53I'm busy.

00:46:54Oh,

00:46:56Daddy always plays with me.

00:46:57You never play with me.

00:47:00That's what daddies

00:47:01are supposed to do.

00:47:02Okay?

00:47:04Mm-hmm.

00:47:08Joy,

00:47:09I'll play with you.

00:47:11Yay!

00:47:12So,

00:47:12what do you want to play?

00:47:14Hmm.

00:47:16Dress up!

00:47:18Dress up?

00:47:19Okay.

00:47:20That sounds like

00:47:20a lot of fun

00:47:21and easy to do.

00:47:23I tell you what,

00:47:24why don't you go

00:47:25to your room

00:47:25and get dressed,

00:47:26I'll go to my room

00:47:28and get dressed, okay?

00:47:29Okay.

00:47:29And we'll meet up

00:47:29in the hallway.

00:47:30All right.

00:47:31Right?

00:47:32All right.

00:47:34Daddy,

00:47:35are you almost ready?

00:47:37Almost.

00:47:38Okay.

00:47:42On the count of three,

00:47:44one,

00:47:45two,

00:47:45three.

00:47:47We did it, Joy.

00:47:49We look good.

00:47:51No, no, Daddy.

00:47:52You put on the wrong outfit.

00:47:54What do you mean

00:47:55I put on the wrong outfit?

00:47:57This is my dress up outfit.

00:48:01George.

00:48:02Not in the house.

00:48:04I have to dress you now.

00:48:06Okay.

00:48:07Go pick up my outfit.

00:48:19That feels awkward.

00:48:28Are you finished yet?

00:48:30One second.

00:48:31No peeking.

00:48:32Okay.

00:48:40Three,

00:48:41two,

00:48:42one.

00:48:45Ta-da!

00:48:46George!

00:48:48What did you do?

00:48:50It's cold.

00:48:51Dress up, Daddy.

00:48:52Ugh.

00:48:53Come here.

00:48:55Dinner's ready.

00:49:05Back here.

00:49:10Joy,

00:49:11go wash your hands.

00:49:13Okay.

00:49:14I'm gonna get you later.

00:49:17Albert,

00:49:18you look crazy.

00:49:21Change your clothes

00:49:22before you sit

00:49:22at the table with us.

00:49:25It's called playing.

00:49:29If you spent more time

00:49:31with Joy,

00:49:31you would understand

00:49:33what parents are doing

00:49:34for the sake

00:49:34of their kid's happiness.

00:49:36Happiness?

00:49:37Looking like that?

00:49:38What is wrong with you?

00:49:43We'll finish this conversation later.

00:50:18So now you're tired

00:50:19from running around here early

00:50:21and looking crazy.

00:50:22Let it go, Janice.

00:50:24I'm trying to go to sleep.

00:50:25I will not.

00:50:27Did you think it was cute

00:50:29to let our seven-year-old daughter

00:50:31put a robe on you,

00:50:34a wig on your head,

00:50:36and lip gloss on your lips?

00:50:41Do you know how to parent?

00:50:43Don't you ever question

00:50:45my parenting skills.

00:50:47You need to be asking yourself that.

00:50:49Or maybe you're the one

00:50:51who needed to be

00:50:51taking parenting classes.

00:50:53Look,

00:50:54all she wanted to do

00:50:55was play dress-up

00:50:56with her mom.

00:50:57I see you, Janice.

00:50:58You turned her down.

00:51:00What was I supposed to do?

00:51:02What...

00:51:03what were you supposed to do?

00:51:05I can tell you

00:51:06what you weren't supposed to do.

00:51:08And that was to not let

00:51:09a seven-year-old

00:51:11put a wig on your head

00:51:12and lip gloss on your lips.

00:51:16Maybe if you learned

00:51:17to set aside some time

00:51:19to be more involved

00:51:20in Joy's life,

00:51:21then maybe I would have to play

00:51:22both Daddy and Mommy.

00:51:27Hi, God.

00:51:28It's me, Joy,

00:51:30and my dolls.

00:51:31We're asking for miracles.

00:51:34There are things going on

00:51:36in my life

00:51:37that need to change.

00:51:39Daddy and I played

00:51:40a fun game today,

00:51:41but Mommy is so upset

00:51:43with him.

00:51:44Please make Mommy's

00:51:46heart nicer.

00:51:48God,

00:51:48I know you can hear them

00:51:50all the way in heaven

00:51:51because they're so loud

00:51:53right now.

00:51:54Fix them, God.

00:51:56Please.

00:51:58Good night, God.

00:52:00Amen.

00:52:04Years ago,

00:52:05men used to not be

00:52:07as engaged

00:52:07in their children's lives,

00:52:08and they would leave

00:52:09everything to the mother

00:52:10to do.

00:52:12And I'm making sure

00:52:13that you're involved

00:52:14in our daughter's lives

00:52:15and not leaving

00:52:17everything on me to do.

00:52:19I can say the same thing,

00:52:20Janice.

00:52:22Years ago,

00:52:23moms used to be

00:52:24extremely involved

00:52:26in that little girl's lives

00:52:27no matter what.

00:52:28I love Joy,

00:52:31and I would do

00:52:32anything for her,

00:52:33such as you should.

00:52:35but you want to blame me

00:52:37and punish me

00:52:38for other dads'

00:52:40lack of doing?

00:52:41That is not my situation here,

00:52:43and it'll never be.

00:52:45I know it won't

00:52:46because I'm making sure of it.

00:52:49I'm not tired of doing

00:52:51everything for Joy,

00:52:52but what I am tired of

00:52:54is having to watch

00:52:55her go through life

00:52:56as if she only

00:52:57have one parent.

00:52:59Look, Janice,

00:53:00you're here,

00:53:01but you're not here

00:53:02when it comes to Joy,

00:53:04and that stops right here

00:53:05and right now.

00:53:07I can't take this anymore.

00:53:11Where...

00:53:13where are you going?

00:53:14Calvin, what are you doing?

00:53:17Calvin, what...

00:53:19Calvin, why are you

00:53:20packing your clothes?

00:53:22Calvin, what are you doing?

00:53:24What are you doing?

00:53:25Calvin, what...

00:53:26Calvin!

00:53:27What are you doing?

00:53:32Calvin, what are you doing?

00:53:36Where are you going?

00:53:37What are you doing?

00:53:38Calvin, what are you doing?

00:53:41I love you, Janice. More than anything. And I love Joy, too.

00:53:49That little girl has been through so much prior to us adopting her.

00:53:56I can't continue to have her watch us fuss and fight every day.

00:54:01So I'm leaving. I'll be back for my things later.

00:54:07God. God blessed us, babe.

00:54:11He blessed us with an opportunity to raise that little girl.

00:54:14Our only child. We will not fail Joy.

00:54:20And most importantly, disappoint God.

00:54:28Calvin, please. Please don't go. I need you.

00:54:35We need you. Calvin, I'm sorry.

00:54:55What have I done?

00:54:58Can I bring Calvin back to us, please?

00:55:16Joy? Yeah?

00:55:18You want to help Mommy bake cookies?

00:55:19Ooh, cookies. Yes, Mommy.

00:55:23Come on.

00:55:27You want to put them in? Yep.

00:55:28Okay.

00:55:35Good job.

00:55:37Let's see if you're done. Yep.

00:55:40Ooh, they smell delicious.

00:55:43Be careful, Mommy. It's hot.

00:55:45Okay, okay.

00:55:47All right.

00:55:52Daddy!

00:55:54Hey, sweetie.

00:55:55Do you want a cookie?

00:55:56I would love one. I'll take one cookie from you,

00:56:01and a cookie from Mommy.

00:56:03All righty.

00:56:05Here you go.

00:56:15Joy?

00:56:16Yes?

00:56:17Hurry up, sweetie.

00:56:18We don't want to be late for church.

00:56:20Okay.

00:56:26You look nice.

00:56:27Thanks.

00:56:28How about if you give me a few moments,

00:56:29I can get dressed and send church with you and Joy?

00:56:32Mommy!

00:56:33You're coming to church with us, too?

00:56:35Yes, baby.

00:56:37Take all the minutes you need, but hurry up.

00:56:42All right.

00:56:42.

00:56:54Okay.

00:56:55Okay.

00:56:57Okay, let's go.

00:57:06.

00:57:11.

00:57:23Joy, you want to give your hair a break from these braids?

00:57:27Yeah, but how would I wear it?

00:57:31You have beautiful long hair.

00:57:33You can wear it out if you want to.

00:57:35Okay.

00:57:36All right.

00:57:37Go find something on TV, because we're going to be here all night.

00:57:40Okay.

00:57:44Now we're all ready to pray.

00:57:48It's time to pray now.

00:57:50I need you right here, and I'm going to pray with you, too.

00:58:03Hi, God.

00:58:04It's me, Joy.

00:58:05I'm going to school tomorrow with my hair out.

00:58:10Please don't let Sarah and Annie tease me about my hair.

00:58:15Oh, God, guess what?

00:58:18Mom is much nicer now, just like she was when I first moved here.

00:58:22Edwin.

00:58:25Edwin.

00:58:28Edwin.

00:58:51Edwin.

00:58:52Sarah and Annie, I see y'all not teasing Joy today.

00:58:55Her hair is longer than the both of y'alls.

00:58:57What do you mean by that comment, Tania?

00:59:00Sarah and Annie tease Joy every day about her wearing braids and not having hair.

00:59:04But they're not saying anything today.

00:59:06As they shouldn't.

00:59:08As they shouldn't.

00:59:08Let this be a lesson to each of you.

00:59:10I don't want to hear anyone teasing anyone anymore.

00:59:14Joy, you have beautiful hair.

00:59:17Sarah and Annie, apologize to her right now.

00:59:20Sorry.

00:59:22I'm sorry.

00:59:23It's okay.

00:59:25As long as it doesn't happen again.

00:59:28It better not.

00:59:30And if it does, you come talk to me.

00:59:47I'm sorry we teased you earlier.

00:59:49Will you be my friend?

00:59:50Yeah.

00:59:51Can you be my friend too?

00:59:52We didn't know you had hair.

00:59:55Sure we can be friends.

00:59:56I've always had long hair.

00:59:58Just promise not to tease me or anyone else again.

01:00:01We won't.

01:00:02I learned my lesson.

01:00:03Yeah.

01:00:04Me too.

01:00:19Miss Anderson.

01:00:22Joy, you're dismissed.

01:00:30Have a good day, guys.

01:00:31Oh, you too.

01:00:34Mom, Mom, guess what?

01:00:36What is it, sweetie?

01:00:38You got an A on your test?

01:00:39No.

01:00:41Everyone loved my hair today.

01:00:43Including Sarah and Annie.

01:00:45They were surprised to see how long it was.

01:00:48And Miss Anderson made them apologize for teasing me.

01:00:52I'm so happy for you, Joy.

01:00:55I prayed and asked God not to let them tease me.

01:00:59God is awesome, isn't he?

01:01:00He used Miss Anderson to help resolve all of your problems.

01:01:05All through your...

01:01:06Resolve all of your problems.

01:01:08All through your prayers.

01:01:10All right, baby, let's go.

01:01:26Calvin.

01:01:27Hey, babe.

01:01:28You won't believe the fantastic day our little girl had at school today.

01:01:33I'm all ears.

01:01:34What happened?

01:01:35Well, when I picked her up, she was a live wire.

01:01:39She was happy, excited.

01:01:41Wouldn't stop talking about her day.

01:01:44She said that everyone was shocked that she had hair.

01:01:49I gather they assumed she didn't have hair under those braids.

01:01:53Oh, our baby girl has hair.

01:01:58I'm so glad we adopted her.

01:02:01That's one of the best decisions we ever made.

01:02:06Me too, Daddy.

01:02:08Me three.

01:02:10And so, the teacher made the girls apologize.

01:02:15I'm so glad that's over.

01:02:18They're all cool now.

01:02:19Nice.

01:02:20Yes.

01:02:23Calvin.

01:02:25I am so sorry for how I've treated you these last few months.

01:02:33You've been spending so much time with Joy.

01:02:36I just felt like I was not important.

01:02:42Like I was neglected.

01:02:48And I responded to you terribly, with no respect and no regards to your feelings.

01:02:59I'm truly sorry.

01:03:02Can you ever forgive me?

01:03:05Babe, I wouldn't be a man of God if I didn't forgive you.

01:03:12You are the best thing that ever happened to me.

01:03:17Even when you withdrew from us, nothing changed.

01:03:22Joy increased our family size.

01:03:25She didn't replace you.

01:03:27You, you're my wife.

01:03:30I vowed to love you, for better or for worse.

01:03:36That was your worst.

01:03:40I love you, Janice.

01:03:42Love you, too.

01:03:45Ewww!

01:03:47Let me show you what's ewww, young lady.

01:03:52Now that is ewww!

01:03:54I bet you won't do that again.

01:03:56Oh, you're right about that.

01:03:57Cause from this day forth, that is mom's job, okay?

01:04:01Do y'all hear me, ladies?

01:06:08Hi, um!

01:06:11You forgot her name?

01:06:13Me?

01:06:13No!

01:06:14That's what everyone calls her.

01:06:16I'm a dancer.

01:06:17My street name is Um.

01:06:19What does it mean?

01:06:20It stands for Unique Moves.

01:06:51Um.

01:06:52How else were they gonna pay you?

01:06:54They don't have any money.

01:06:56Girl, get on out of here.

01:06:58She's good.

01:06:59You'll see.

01:07:00Ready?

01:07:18Okay, I'm done for the next.

01:07:20Watch out for that invoice.

01:07:21Uh-huh.

01:07:22Cause if they can't pay me, you gotta pay me.

01:07:24Watch out for that invoice.

01:07:26Time for my other lesson, y'all!

01:07:28Sayonara!

01:07:29See you later, um.

01:07:31Bye, um!

01:07:35Oh, boy.

01:07:36That was cute.

01:07:42Mercedes, what's that on your arm?

01:07:45It looks like a butt.

01:07:47Oh, that?

01:07:48I'm not sure.

01:07:50It doesn't hurt or anything.

01:07:51One day it wasn't there, but the next day it was.

01:07:54This was recent, too.

01:07:56Mom?

01:07:57Mercedes has a lump on her arm.

01:08:00Where?

01:08:01Right there.

01:08:04Hmm.

01:08:06I don't know what this is.

01:08:09Is your mom seeing this?

01:08:10Yes.

01:08:11Since your mom is monitoring, I'm sure she's aware of it.

01:08:15You see?

01:08:17Hmm.

01:08:19It'll be okay.

01:08:22Let's finish playing.

01:08:24Okay, but first, let's pray for your lump to go away.

01:08:29God can do miracles if we pray and believe together.

01:08:33Sure.

01:08:33I'll be right back.

01:08:35Okay.

01:08:53Hi, God.

01:08:54It's me, Joy.

01:08:56And my friend, Mercedes.

01:08:58I have a favor to ask you.

01:09:01God, your word says, for where two or three are gathered together in my name,

01:09:08there am I in the midst of them.

01:09:11Well, Mercedes has a lump on her arm that needs healing.

01:09:16She doesn't know what it is, but we want it to disappear before it gets worse.

01:09:23In Jesus' name, amen.

01:09:26Thank you, Joy.

01:09:28No one has ever prayed for me or my arm before.

01:09:31Thank you very much.

01:09:33You're welcome.

01:09:49Hi, Mrs. Nelson.

01:09:50Hi, Mercedes.

01:09:52Hi, Janice.

01:09:53Hi, Sharon.

01:09:55Is Joy around?

01:09:57Yes.

01:09:58Joy.

01:09:58Coming, Mom.

01:10:00Mercedes!

01:10:02Hi, Joy.

01:10:03What are you doing here?

01:10:05Joy, we couldn't wait to rush over here and thank you for praying over Mercedes' arm.

01:10:12God heard your prayers and healed that lump.

01:10:17Look, it's gone.

01:10:20Wow.

01:10:21Wow.

01:10:23Thank you, Joy.

01:10:24I told you, Mercedes.

01:10:26Yeah.

01:10:27Thanks, BFF.

01:10:28Wait.

01:10:30Joy prayed over your arm?

01:10:35She's very good at it, too.

01:10:38We were so thrilled about her lump disappearing that we wanted to come and show you in person.

01:10:45That's a miracle, because I saw it with my own eyes.

01:10:50Oh, wow.

01:10:51Our prayers were answered.

01:10:54Yes.

01:10:56So we have to run some errands.

01:10:57We gotta go.

01:10:58Bye, Mercedes.

01:11:00Bye, Julie.

01:11:01Bye-bye.

01:11:03Bye.

01:11:05Bye, guys.

01:11:06Bye.

01:11:06Bye-bye.

01:11:07Bye-bye.

01:11:12What is going on in here?

01:11:14Her room is a mess.

01:11:16Bye-bye.

01:11:41Oh, my goodness.

01:11:51You messed them up!

01:11:54Messed whoops?

01:11:55Your room was already a mess, sweetie.

01:11:58My dolls, they're supposed to be right there.

01:12:01Where's my phone?

01:12:02Hey, hey, hey.

01:12:04What's going on here?

01:12:06Joy's upset about me moving her dolls.

01:12:09And my phone!

01:12:10Sweetie, I'm sure Mommy was just trying to be helpful.

01:12:14I know, but...

01:12:16I'll put them back for you.

01:12:18No, I'll do it.

01:12:20Honey, just let Joy rearrange her dolls back the way she had them.

01:12:24And my phone!

01:12:25Okay.

01:12:28And here's your phone.

01:12:40In the North Bay we're gonna...

01:12:47Mom?

01:12:48Dad?

01:12:49Can I ask you a question?

01:12:51Of course, sweetheart.

01:12:53You can ask us anything.

01:12:55Why did you choose me?

01:12:57I mean, there were so many other kids who needed to be adopted.

01:13:01Why me?

01:13:10Joy, we need you to understand the decision to adopt is never about choosing one child over another.

01:13:19It's about finding that special bond.

01:13:22It's not a connection that goes beyond anything else.

01:13:27But how did you make a connection with me?

01:13:30And we never met before.

01:13:33When we first saw your picture...

01:13:37We couldn't explain it.

01:13:39But we felt an instant connection with you through your picture.

01:13:46And at that point, we knew in our spirit that God wanted us three to become a family.

01:13:54But there were so many other kids who needed families.

01:13:57They would have been great too.

01:14:01You're right, Joy.

01:14:03There are so many incredible kids that's deserving of loving families just like you.

01:14:09But the truth is, we can't save every child.

01:14:13All we knew is that we wanted to give a child a home.

01:14:19A loving family.

01:14:21And when we saw your picture, we knew immediately that you were that child.

01:14:29Joy, we didn't adopt you because we felt sorry for you.

01:14:34Or because we thought you needed us.

01:14:38We adopted you because we wanted you, Joy.

01:14:41Joy, we wanted to be your parents.

01:14:45And to share our lives with you.

01:14:48And to give you the love and support that you deserve.

01:14:57My baby, where are you going?

01:15:06Joy is truly a blessing from God.

01:15:11Our presence reminds us of how family and life should be.

01:15:17Full of love and laughter.

01:15:21I'm eternally grateful unto God for the gift of our daughter.

01:15:25I agree.

01:15:27And to think, she could have been placed somewhere else.

01:15:33Or waiting for a family to adopt her.

01:15:37It was God's plan.

01:15:39It was her time.

01:15:43Thank you, God.

01:15:45I'm so glad you thought about adoption when you did.

01:15:48It was the Holy Spirit.

01:15:50Was that the same Holy Spirit that told you to marry me?

01:15:53Yes, it was.

01:16:02Mom?

01:16:03Yes, baby?

01:16:04Can we play dress up?

01:16:06Sure we can, but I don't know what to wear.

01:16:09Can I dress you?

01:16:10Okay, I'm liking this already.

01:16:12I'll get everything for you.

01:16:14Well, in that case, I'm ready now.

01:16:21But me? No.

01:16:24I'd be walking around here looking all crazy.

01:16:27Calvin!

01:16:28Yeah?

01:16:29I can hear you.

01:16:31Love you, honey.

01:16:37Mom, I'll be in there shortly.

01:16:40Okay, sweetie.

01:16:42Wait till Calvin sees me.

01:16:44Okay, Mom.

01:16:46Are you ready?

01:16:47Joy's gonna dress me up all pretty.

01:16:51Ooh, don't you look pretty.

01:16:54Is that my dress?

01:16:55Yeah.

01:16:56It's called dress up, Mommy.

01:16:58Oh, well, you look cute.

01:17:00Thanks.

01:17:01You look.

01:17:01Now cover your eyes.

01:17:03Close my eyes?

01:17:05Yeah.

01:17:06Sweetie, I promise my eyes will not get in the way

01:17:10redressing me.

01:17:12Okay.

01:17:13But you have to close them.

01:17:16I don't wanna close my eyes.

01:17:18It's too late.

01:17:20I'll have to cover them now.

01:17:22Okay.

01:17:27Mommy, you're gonna look so beautiful.

01:17:30But first, I have to do your makeup.

01:17:32Alright, but promise not to make me look crazy.

01:17:36Okay.

01:17:40I'm gonna fly away.

01:17:43Go and feel your eyes.

01:17:44Is that the foundation?

01:17:46Mm-hmm.

01:17:47Okay.

01:17:52Now, time for lipstick.

01:17:54Okay.

01:17:56Wait a minute.

01:17:58I got my lips!

01:18:00Joy, you promised.

01:18:02You're fired.

01:18:04A laugh like someone told me another scene.

01:18:09Daddy!

01:18:10Come here!

01:18:13Whoa!

01:18:15Great job, Joy!

01:18:18Now I'm gonna say, you made Mommy look way better than you did Daddy.

01:18:23And I said to myself, watch Joy make Mommy look so pretty.

01:18:27Like she's going out on a date.

01:18:29Huh.

01:18:31You know what?

01:18:31It's a great idea.

01:18:33Let's go, ladies.

01:18:34I say let's go right now.

01:18:36But I need to see what I look like.

01:18:38Good point.

01:18:40Joy?

01:18:42Alright.

01:18:43Okay, pull up the mirror.

01:18:48Three...

01:18:51Two...

01:19:36and for making our home happy again.
