FAITH OVER FEAR 🙏🏻
Sa akong early 20s, after graduating college at 21, I wasn’t sure what to do with my life. I took the board exam but wasn’t lucky enough to pass. I was worried about the future, scared of facing adulthood, and felt pressure because my peers were already licensed and working in their careers, while I was still figuring mine out. Those years were full of confusion, self-doubt, and trying to find my path.🤍
By the time I turned 26, I got married, and I thought I was finally settled in life. Soon after, I landed a permanent work-from-home job, which gave me stability. Because of that, I didn’t have to rent in the city, commute daily, or stay far from my mom in the province since I was still at home. I thought that would be my life moving forward after getting married. But God had a plot twist; He had even bigger plans for me.🥹
Back in college, I dreamed of going abroad, but fear held me back. Now at 28, the Lord has granted me my biggest dream! Honestly, I was amazed and grateful beyond words. I truly realized that God’s timing is always perfect. Sometimes we want things immediately and try to force our own plans, but He knows better. Every delay, every “wait,” is part of His greater plan for us, and in the end, it’s always for our good.🙏🏻
Living here in Canada has been humbling. We’ve been here for 11 months now, and every second and every minute feels important. Na-experience namo ang “no work, no money” moments, and the challenges are real—like not having a car to get around when we first arrived, having to walk just to buy groceries, especially during the winter season when we had no other options but to brave the cold, or not always being able to eat the food we want because Asian foods here are expensive and not always available. 😌
My husband and I had to adjust together, learning to navigate these challenges as a team. But these sacrifices are worth it because they help us build the life we’ve always dreamed of together. Life here has taught us to appreciate even the small things, and it has shown us that the comfort, health, and happiness we strive for are truly earned. We don’t know exactly what will happen with our journey here, but I trust God for everything.💛
I grew up being taught by my mother to be strong and independent. She instilled in me the belief that laziness and lack of determination would lead nowhere in life. She always reminded me to set goals and work hard to achieve them. I am truly blessed to have a mother who not only guides and supports me but also makes sure I never face life’s challenges alone. Even though I am far away now, her love and support remain constant, and I will always be her one and only princess.💓
I’m forever grateful to the Lord for His blessings, for guiding our journey, and for reminding me that nothing is impossible with Him. Life is full of surprises, sacrifices, and rewards, and I am thankful for every step of this journey.😇
To everyone chasing their dreams: no matter how hard life gets, keep believing, keep praying, and never stop dreaming. In His perfect timing, your efforts and prayers will be rewarded. 🙏✨
