God is Building Me A Castle…

It has been almost 7 weeks since Jadyn graduated to heaven, and many of us are still stunned and wondering what just happened… including me.

So many times we had been in and out of different hospitals with JJ over the past 10 years, but we always came home together. And honestly, the deafening quiet in the house is more than we can stand most days. However, I want to share a story with you that shows just how God’s hand was with us right before she went home. It made me think of this verse… “Man makes his plans, but God directs his steps…” Proverbs 16:9 

For the last several years, Jadyn wanted a career in Hollywood either in front of the camera, or behind. That is why she applied, and got accepted to Biola University in Los Angeles. (thank you Lester for loving us) For the past few years, she had been training with AMTC (Actors, Models, & Talent for Christ) Their lovely president, Carey Lewis had auditioned Jadyn in the very beginning years ago. And while Jadyn was laying in the ICU just days before her passing, she saw this devotional posted by Carey, who had “divinely”  pulled an old photo shoot of Jadyn out of thousands of  photos in her library.  I think it speaks for itself, but make sure to see the first line where Jadyn recognizes herself in the devotional picture.

I realize it is hard to read, below you will see Carey’s final post following JJ’s passing. What an encouragement to us all.

Without a doubt, JJ knew where she was going to spend eternity.
