The Giver

Last year, I have written about “The GIFT”, most friends call it “God’s Will” and others “GG – standing for God’s Gift”.

When I was 16 years old, I had great plans for my life. I would go to the best university (UP), finish college on time, start working at 21 years old, get married to my first boyfriend on my 26th birthday ( to celebrate our 10th year anniversary), raise beautiful and bright kids and live happily throughout my entire lifetime.
Years after my 16th birthday, I assessed my life and discovered that plans have not gone as I have mapped them out. This is not to say though that I am not happy and contented with it because I am still amazed how my life turned out. The bumpy but exciting walk with God, career adventure and relationships. I finished undergrad and post graduate studies before I hit my 28th birthday, I’ve also undergone several heartbreaks, stayed and transferred from one dorm/apartment (13 in all since freshman days), parted ways with my two bestfriends and some of my closest friends as they seek greener pastures, go through a shutdown of my old company and collected several colors of gowns from weddings.

However, for the past two months, I have cried my heart out to God “What am I gonna do next?”. For women, it seemed natural for us to think that our ultimate destination is family life and to date, this stage has not come for me. Suddenly, I did not know what to do next..

Then, I was reminded of the scripture passage …. “As for God, His way is perfect”. Need I say, rant or ask some more? The Giver knows when to give the perfect surprise..
