Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, things don’t go the way we planned. The dream feels so close, yet just out of reach. Setbacks pile up, and the waiting feels longer than we expected. It’s easy to wonder: is this really for me?
My beautiful Tewahedo Orthodox sister, what is meant for you will always be. Your journey might be tough right now, and the timing might not match your expectations. But every delay, every challenge, every rejection, and every closed door has a purpose. They’re not there to stop you; they’re there to prepare you. When the right moment comes, everything will fall into place. You’ll see why it had to happen this way.
If you ever feel like giving up, my beautiful sister, take a deep breath and trust in God’s timing. Keep praying, keep believing, and keep your faith strong. Every challenge is an opportunity to grow, and every setback a chance to trust God more. Stay faithful, lean on His guidance, and know that your story is part of something so much bigger. When you surrender to God’s plans, you open yourself up to a richer and fuller life—more than you can ever imagine.
So, as you go through the ups and downs of life, remember this: Nothing, absolutely nothing, can derail God’s plan for you. And always remember: if it’s meant to be, it will be. When it finally happens, you’ll see why the wait was worth it. Trust in God’s timing!
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
