"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."~Jeremiah 29:11~
I'm certainly not a Bible reader, to be quite upfront. The last time I opened and flipped a Bible's pages was 2 months ago. I didn't even intend to read it but it was the only thing I can see on top of the small table in one corner of the room where I once stayed for the night and the only thing I can think of to grab and read to ease boredom.
In today's world, we can search almost about everything through the powerful internet. Even the most complex question you could ever imagine, leading search engines always has possible answers quickly delivered right in front of you. And guess what? I don't even had a hard time looking for that passage above. Fact. We live in a technologically-driven world where almost everything are instant.
However, the word is just ALMOST...not EVERYTHING! There are still a lot of things in this world that requires PATIENCE... and yes, lots of 'em! One of the most valuable virtue which I always believe and think I don't have. But actually, there is. If not, I could have taken the closest route to get to the place where I wanna be or win the things I so much wanted to have in life in no time. Sure, you can never google why we have to wait instead of taking the shortest wrong way. Search Engines cannot give you the reason why you failed at some instances. It can't tell you exactly why you to have to shed tears for every misfortunes you get... for every agony you feel. You may cry out at the loudest from the top of your lungs millions of so frustrating "WHYs"... but what is destined is sure to happen and what is not will never be.
Though, I believe there is always a reason for everything as many people say. And if things don't turn out the way we wanted them to be, verses from the Bible like what's written above would somehow explains us why. We only have to look. Small amount of time for a better and much more logical understanding of life and its spices.

sending you hugs sis :)
I know..we all have big WHYs in our heart and sometimes it's so frustrating to not know the reason behind..but then again, it is also comforting to know that someone up there knows WHY.
God bless you nancy!
I guess we can only be content with what life can offer instead of trying to figure out why to us it's being offered. I don't know if it make sense.haha!
