A BLESSING IN DISGUISE

In this life, the Lord teaches us to be strong and be prepared for the obstacles that we're going to face. Life is unpredictable and we have to expect the unexpected.

Let me start my sharing through my relationship with my 4G (God's greatest and gorgeous gift). I've been with her for almost six years and we were already in the marrying stage. I went abroad during our sixth year and after my first year at work, I went home for vacation. I found out that my girlfriend was pregnant. I was speechless and confused at that moment. I didn't know if I will be mad at her or I will hug her. I felt everything crashing down on me. I was so upset and disappointed. Everything fell into nothing.  I really felt betrayed.

It was never easy to accept and even forgive them. It was so painful and I felt my heart being crushed to pieces. I felt lost and broken. With God's grace I was able to pull myself up and move on being assured of His promises. It has been a year since that happened. Now it's clear that God has a better plan for me than getting married. I know I’ll have the right one in His time. 

I kept my faith in Him. I held on to His promises that He will bless me more than my past and I vowed to serve Him even more. I shared this once in the SFC SNC and I never thought that I will inspire a lot of people there, and it was a big relief for me sharing my past experience.

We are all blessed in spite of the difficulties we have in life because it’s an opportunity for us to grow and learn. Don’t give up but have more faith in Him because surely, He will never leave you. A heart break is a blessing in disguise. God listens to those who are broken hearted. God hears you.
