Jada’s Story

Hello! My name is Jada. I love basketball, the outdoors, and comedy. A bit of background about me is that I did not grow up in a household that acknowledged God for all he has done. I discovered Him and His word through Friday Nite Basketball; a program that encourages coaches to connect basketball through the bible which sparked my interest. Throughout the years, I have part-taken in Christian youth groups, church, and have grown my faith, trust, love, and humour with Him. Before I met God, I constantly felt like I needed someone to talk to. Now that I have a relationship with Him, I know someone has my back even when I don't feel like I do. As I begin my twenties, life has had lots of twists, turns, and pits that feel bottomless. Praying to Him gives me comfort - it reminds me he is beside me as I learn to grow out on my own and is always listening. He hears me when I am thankful for the beautiful scenery on my hikes, to when I am crying on my bedroom floor upset, to when I am shocked about how much I spent on gas this month - he is always with me, beside me, and around me.  I am eternally grateful for all he has done.
