Jade McCarthy perdió su trabajo como presentadora deportiva en ESPN el 26 de abril de 2017.

A solo dos meses de dar a luz a su tercer hijo, McCarthy encontró esperanza en la iglesia.

“El domingo, cuatro días después de perder mi trabajo, mi familia y yo fuimos a la iglesia”, McCarthy describió. “No era una iglesia nueva; habíamos estado en Valley Community Baptist antes, pero mientras estaba allí ese día sentí que el pastor me estaba hablando a mí. ¿Has sido esa persona con lágrimas en los ojos, desbordándose por tu cara? ¿Es todo lo que puedes hacer para evitar uno de esos lloros feos en medio de un mar de gente? Esa era yo. Se ha dicho que cuando una puerta se cierra, otra se abre, y ese domingo entreabrió la puerta”.

Durante ese tiempo, McCarthy “se apoyó” en Proverbios 3:5-6, que dice: “Confía en el SEÑOR con todo tu corazón y no te apoyes en tu propio entendimiento. Reconócelo en todos tus caminos, y él enderezará tus sendas”.

“ESPN trajo a mi familia a Connecticut”, continuó. “Pero ha pasado algo curioso en el año que no he pisado el campus. El deporte se ha cruzado con mi vida de una manera profunda. Dios siempre estuvo allí, en conversaciones, algunas largas y otras solo momentos, en las líneas laterales y en los estudios. Incluso recuerdo un viaje en avión a Alabama, un lugar que una vez llamé hogar, donde compartí una conversación que terminó con una nueva Biblia esperándome en el buzón de ESPN. Dios siempre estuvo allí. Solo que ahora, estoy escuchando de manera diferente”.

“Se ha dicho que el mayor regalo que podemos dar a alguien es atención enfocada”, añadió. “En mi nuevo mundo, Dios merece esa atención. ¿Qué viene después? Estoy escuchando mientras trato de averiguarlo. Estoy esperando. Estoy orando. Y en este día, 365 días desde que mi día a día cambió, aquí está el versículo que me vino: El hombre propone sus planes, pero el SEÑOR dispone sus pasos. (Proverbios 16:9) Esos pasos vendrán. Y estaré lista”.

Los deportes siempre han sido parte de su vida. “Creciendo en una familia que apreciaba los deportes, compartió cómo la pasión de su tía abuela por el béisbol sentó las bases para
