"Willing to wait ma'am?" asked the crew of the restaurant. I wanted to give the crew a stern look. In this day and age, who wants to wait?
But I waited anyway...
I wanted to start this with the story of how my heart got broken but as I recall how things are going on in my life, I figured, it just doesn't matter much anymore.
The past two years had been a roller-coaster with lows and highs. The icing on the cake? The many places I was able to visit.
There were seas, falls, mountains, amusement rides, markets, and museums... so many things I saw and conquered.
Friends also made most of my trips happier. And when we are not busy riding buses, we are out somewhere pigging out. (This I write to remind myself that I have to start losing weight now)
What would I do without friends?
And of course, there's my family- my anchor and fortress.
Waiting, they say, is a process with two options: first is to spend it complaining how things seem to never change; second is to enjoy every bit of it.
Poets often compare life to seasons:
It is spring when we feel most abundant- a time when blessings, joys, laughs come without limits.
It is summer when we are given more time to enjoy the sun, the fruits of our labor, and the joy of simply letting things be.
It is autumn when the colors start to change and we need to brace ourselves for whatever cold we have to endure later on.
It is winter when we have to endure a moment of distance and coldness. This is a time when life reveals who will stay to keep us warm and toasted amidst the strongest storms.
Little do we realize that in between all these is the season of waiting- a time when things transition from one to another.
Often, my impatience gets the better of me. I will feel worried about things almost incessantly. I fill my mind with thoughts of not being able to do things or not having what I prayed for.
My shoulders will be hunched and the creases in my forehead almost a permanent fixture.
I hate uncertainties. I hate having to wait for something which I feel am deserving of.
But life does not operate that way.
A friend once told me: I am in the waiting season and the best that I can do is to enjoy what life has prepared for me.
Treks, swimming outings, great food, and great experiences later, I realized what he just told me.
We couldn't change how the past seasons have gone but the season of waiting will prepare us for the best that is yet to come.
And, just like lining up in a restaurant, our blessings are served best, when we are willing to wait.
I just lost my man about three months ago though he is back again full of love and passion with the help of great man Dr. IKHIDE. I NORAH PEDRO from Norway, have been into a relationship with daniel mark since I was 22 years old and I am 28 now. I so much love him but I could not show the love, it was very difficult for me to prove my realness to him because I thought to prove my love to him might make him look down on me and go after other girls. for over six years Daniel has given me all that I ask of him. I always threatened him with break up each time I want to see his level of love for me because I was told if I threaten him, he will propose to me and then will get married to him before I can show my love despite his complains of him not sure of my love I was responding to him with negative words. though I was suspecting he has another girl in his life, I did not border to ask him about that because I was so sure of his love despite my attitude. on the 8th of September a day to my birthday he came and gave me so many lovely gifts like never before claiming to wish me a happy birthday in advance with his words and behavior I expected him to propose to me on my birthday night then I will also tell him of my pregnant for him. I wait for him on my birthday he did not show up not even a call, I tried his number and it was not going through I refuse to go check on him because the anger in me six days later I went to his house and I found nothing not even a sign of my Daniel once live there. I was disappointed, frustrated, confused with so many thoughts on my mind like hanging my self if I did not see him again because I can not my parent about the pregnancy when the man responsible for it had disappeared. our religion's against that, my family will be disappointed in me, I have brought them shame. I look for daniel everywhere till I could chat with him on social network, he warned me never to disturb him again because he already had found another girl that he wants to live his life with, after a while, he blocked me from all access then I could not tell him of my pregnancy for him. so, I needed help from all corners of life, I decide to check to google my self or read some write up on-site on how to coup with my pain because I could not tell anybody about it not even my friends were aware of my pregnancy. I keep reading to cancel my self till I find how Dr. IKHIDE helps so many persons from different walks of life with their testimonies. then I decide to also contact him with dr.ikhide@gmail.com. Because I do not know much about contacting a spell caster, I was not sure he can bring my Dan back but I decide to give him a try though his requirement was another problem I meet with a friend for help because I could not the items that he needed I have to plead with Dr. IKHIDE to help me get the items because really need my man back to take away my shame. just two days after I send him the requirement Daniel calls me, plead for forgiveness. just yesterday he propose to me and I am so happy. you can also contact him with dr.ikhide@gmail.com
