Jada's Destiny

Now that we have a tentative date for travel, the whole situation is really becoming more real to me and Brandi. We were talking the other night how things will definately change. We were sitting around talking and thinking about how in a couple of weeks, we will be having a similar conversation, but we'll have one or two or four eyes on Jada as she wanders around exploring her new surroundings. Then, Brandi said we have to make sure we keep our relationship and quality time intact. We have to keep doing the things we do together even though we have an awesome responsibility of watching and raising Jada. I'm glad we are recognizing that and I'm glad she said it out loud.
We have always believed that Jada would be a very special girl. If we look at the journey that God has put us on, with all the struggles and tests, and not realize that He has great plans for this child then we would not be good stewards of what God is about to give us. We have had confirmation of her destiny from some Godly people who we know hear from God that she will be special.

"You will keep on guiding me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny." Psalm 73:24

We do not believe that the last 6 years of waiting on God will be for nothing. I think about all the times in the Bible where great men and women of God have had to wait and how faithful God has been when prayers were answered. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful support system of family and friends to help us through this. We are so blessed to have a life giving church to equip us to have the family and live the life that God intended us to have.
So, we are preparing to provide Jada with an excellent home and an excellent family. I don't think Jada should settle for "normal." I don't want to settle for normal. I want my family to have the abundant life that Jesus promised us:

" I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." - John 10:10

We are prepared for people to question and judge us for the way we will prepare Jada for her destiny. We know that people will disagree with what we expose her to and what we WILL NOT expose her to. But, we feel we have been given a "Great Commision" when it comes to preparing Jada for what God has for her. We also know that when we meet Jesus at the Final Judgement, we will be held accountable for how we handled the responsibility for being Jada's parents.

Isn't it good to know that the same God that judges us, also gives us the tools and resources to carry out His commision to us?
