A blessing in disguise

                                                     

The resurrection of Jesus gives me inspirations and hope. I believe that there is always light in the end of the tunnel. Sometimes  I may think I have failed and is hopeless at the moment, but I often remind myself that I can always rise up from the ashes, spread my wings and soar high. 

Just before the pandemic, I was about to go back to studies and trainings abroad so I could upgrade my credentials and would be able to grab a better position at my current work. But then the pandemic started and everything changed in a snap of a second. I felt every thing fallen one by one in front of me. The world started to shut down. I felt I was stuck in a little world I have. I suffered anxiety cause I couldn’t do things I wish to do, and worst I felt I lost the opportunity that can totally change my life and career. I stopped taking care of myself and the people around me. 

And then one day I discovered that I was pregnant. I admit I was very afraid at first, since it was still in the pandemic. I thought how I was supposed to take care of my first baby during this difficult times. But I just put all my trust in God, and my faith was even stronger. I thought he let a baby develop inside my womb so I could see the world in a different perspective. I was able to discover myself, my new self, the stronger version of me. And I won’t even trade this opportunity into something else. 

Now I realised why that happened. I needed to focus more in my new journey of motherhood. 

This is my testament: pandemic have made the worst in the world, but it is where I have found my blessing, our blessing, my daughter — Karina. 

May this pandemic enable you to look into more important things that will or about to happen into your life.
