Share ko din para sa lahat ng nag-aantay --
"Dear ________,
Every delay can be a God-ordained moment of aligning you to My timing.
Relax, God
P.S. Trust my timing."
Para talaga akong kinausap ni God kasi nakuha ko toh a day after nalungkot talaga ako sa frustration dahil sa naCO contact ako ng wala naman akong kulang.
Reminder na din toh for everyone na God has plans for us and maybe He just slightly delays us to possibly align us with better opportunities. Mahirap pero magtiwala na lang tayo na darating din naman yung grant na inaasam natin - darating nga lang sa tamang panahon.
