Nasagot agad ang panalangin ni Jaya na makahanap ng bagong tirahan matapos tupukin ng apoy ang two-story house ng kanyang pamilya sa Washington D.C. sa Amerika.
Nangyari ang insidente sampung araw pa lamang ang nakararaan.
Ngayong August 17, 2022, masayang ibinalita ni Jaya na nakahanap na ang mister niyang si Gary Gotidoc ng bagong uupahang bahay.
Ipinakita ni Jaya ang kopya ng approved application ng mister na magrenta ng bahay sa Richardson City sa Washington.
Kasabay nito ang blessing na job offer para sa position na electrician helper na natanggap ni Gary.
Lubos ang pasasalamat na pahayag ni Jaya sa caption ng kanyang Instagram post (published as is):
"I am so excited to share this with you friends. Grabe naman po kayo Lord!!!
"8 days after our house burned down, my husband Gary received these blessings on his email on Aug. 15!
"A new home and a new job!!! Again, I don’t know what else to say but thank you Lord!
"And again, may I say thank you to Jesus, you are at the center of it all…"
Katuparan daw ito ng dasal niya mula sa Deuteronomy 30:3: "God, your God, will restore everything you lost; he’ll have compassion on you; he’ll come back and pick up the pieces from all the places where you were scattered."

HOW THEIR HOUSE BURNED DOWN
Sa hiwalay na IG post ni Jaya noong August 15, ikinuwento niya na noong August 7 ay nasunog ang inuupahan nilang bahay dahil sa "electrical issues."
Kakauwi lang daw nila sa bahay mula sa airport para ipagdiwang sana ang 16th birthday ng anak ni Jaya na si Sabriya nang mangyari ang insidente.
Lahad ni Jaya (published as is): "Thank God, my husband Gary, calmly took control and lead us to safety.
"Our son Gavin helped big time as well, but lost ALL of his possessions, but miraculously, his BIBLE, wallet & passport were untouched by the fire!
"The main 3 bedrooms and some parts of the house didn't really burned, which was crazy because the fire was so huge and all over!!!
"So more of our documents & clothings, especially our Bibles also got spared."
May sumaklolo raw agad na firefighters para masugpo ang apoy.
Malaki ang pasasalamat ni Jaya sa mga taong mabilis na tumulong sa kanila at nagpatuloy sa kanila sa isang pansamantalang tirahan.
May special shoutout din si Jaya sa mga taong nag-alay ng dasal at pangungumusta sa kalagayan nila.
HOW HER FAMILY COPED WITH THE HOUSE FIRE
Madamdamin ding inilahad ni Jaya na nagsilbing silver lining para sa kanya ang nakita niyang lakas ng loob ng mga anak.
Sabi pa niya, "With all the chaos and devastation, my mind blocked so much of what happened. But what I do remember was how we as a family coped.
"I saw our 3 kids crying and feeling so afraid & helpless but comforted and held each other, they were so brave yet tender and vulnerable.
"They were selfless and mindful of what's happening around that they even held me and said, 'It's ok Mom, we are all ok, don't be sad.'"
Nagbigay-pugay rin siya sa tapang at leadership na ipinakita ng kanyang mister.
"My husband running back and forth, talking to the firefighters, insurance person, and I don't know who else, checking on us and comforting us even smiling at all of us that he forgot himself in the midst of the chaos.
"Gary, I am so proud to be married to a Man of God. Your faith was in full force that day.
"We all saw how you were surrendered to Jesus and letting His will be done. You didn't crack, you had no fear...
"That was the moment I knew God loved me and our children because he gave YOU to us. You walked the walk and talked the talk. I love you forever."
"HEARTBROKEN BUT NOT DEFEATED"
Pinatibay ni Jaya ang loob sa kabila ng pagkasunog ng kanilang bahay.
"We are tired, fatigued, heartbroken, but not defeated. We still catch ourselves cry in secret, but we are alright. We are humbled by this experience. Now we know not to take anything for granted.
"We now move forward, one day at a time. Thank God we still have work that can help keep our minds busy.
"We will continue to love, live, laugh, sing, dance, create new memories, remain hopeful."
March 2021 nang unang isinapubliko ni Jaya ang desisyon ng kanyang pamilya na manirahan sa U.S. para maghanap ng better opportunities doon sa gitna ng pandemya.
May ilang properties ang pamilya niya sa Tarlac na ibinenta nila para magamit sa kanilang paninirahan sa Amerika.
July 2021 nang magpaalam si Jaya bilang hurado sa Kapamilya noontime show na It's Showtime.
