Back in 2020, I consistently messaged him, sharing information, checking in, and offering help.
Pero during that time, hindi pa kaya ng budget at may ibang priorities sila, which I completely understood. Timing is everything.
Fast forward to this month, siya na mismo ang nag-reach out and said:

Remember the story of Joseph in the time of famine. He saved during the season of plenty to prepare for the season of lack. ๐
โSeven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt, but seven years of famine will follow themโฆโ
Genesis 41:29โ30
Joseph didnโt just interpret the dream, he gave a solution: prepare while you can.
To my fellow advisors: Keep planting seeds, even if you donโt see the harvest right away. ๐ฑ
To clients: The best time to plan was yesterday. The second-best time is today. โฅ๏ธ
