There’s a lady who comes over a few times a week to help us clean. She’s warm, sweet, and hardworking.
One day, as we chatted, I asked if she’d be travelling for Christmas. I only asked because the lady who worked with us before always travelled during the holidays.
She laughed and said, “No o, I no dey travel, e too cost. Even though e don reach like 7 years since I see my mama, we dey do video call sha."
I tried encouraging her to make plans to visit.
She went on to explain how tough it would be to travel with kids, plus the extra pressure of having to buy things for family and friends who would be expecting goodies and treats.
She’s from Benin Republic 🇧🇯 so truly, travelling with her kids would cost her a good amount of money.
We laughed about it, and I told her, “God will do it.”
She replied, “Amen — but make e do am on time o.”
At first, I said “Abi,” because I could relate. But then I quickly caught myself and said:
“No worry, God is never late. Anytime He shows up, na the perfect time.”
And she smiled in agreement.
Don’t we all feel this way sometimes?
Don’t we all have one or two challenges that we feel God is taking a little too long to attend to?
Like, “God, I hope you know what time it is, because I’m starting to get worried.”
I’m in my late 30s, and only two things are checked off my bucket list.
Dear God, what about financial freedom — will it ever come?
And the husband… should I be expecting him now, or is he still stuck in traffic?
If you’ve been feeling this way lately, I want to remind you today:
God is not late. He is the author of time, and whenever He shows up, it’s the perfect time.
By the way, this message is not by chance — it’s God’s gentle whisper saying:
💛 Be still, I’m in control. 🥰🥰🥰
