It was later on in life i began to see reasons He did that. As a very young teenager, i could not fully comprehend what life is about till i started growing into maturity and then i knew, patience is really a must have virtue to get by through life generally.
I'm sure you grew up with some or lots of great expectations about your desires in life and expecting it to turn out as you've planned it.
But sad to say, it usually don't work out the way it's planned because of some external factors like unforeseen circumstances, obstacles, events, financial contraints, limited resources or even personal factors like health challenges, self sabotage, inner conflicts, lack of necessary skills and knowledge and so on.
When we experience 'delay' in fulfillment of our laid out plans and goals, we either beat ourselves up, get drowned in the pool of depression or wallow in the demeaning thoughts of low self worth or even blame God for blessing others quickly than usual while we're still far behind.
Never allow such negative things put you down. Be patient with your process.
Everyone has a certain structure of destiny and journey. We are never wired in same manner. For the fact your mates and peers have 'arrived' or are having substantial results now doesn't mean you won't.
The difference between a pregnant woman and a nursing mother is time....just TIME!
For the fact the nursing mother is being celebrated cause of her child doesn't mean the pregnant one won't be celebrated. Her TIME hasn't come yet. She has to be patient with the process of carrying the child and bearing the pains until she delivers.
So dear friend, you are pregnant with your blessing. It may be some days old, weeks old, months old or years old depending on the time you conceived it, just wait for it.
Signs may look like nothing is there or no progress looking at how 'slow' the process is but don't give up because though it may tarry, it will surely come to pass. If God has promised it and you are putting in work diligently with great expectation toward that goal, don't stop believing.
There are some factors that may be beyond your reach to handle, yes! Stuffs like that happen but stand and hold God strongly cause only those that stand with Him can stand out in life.
At this juncture, a good relationship with the Holy spirit is paramount. Life is too complex to thrive without the presence of the Holy spirit. He reveals purpose and enables you achieve it. The beautiful thing about it is the fulfillment His presence and guidance brings. Give the Holy spirit a chance.
Just wanted to encourage someone out there.
God bless you.
More grace ma 🙏
