Dear Dreamer,

Day and night, the Universe plants seeds of dreams in that pretty little head of yours. It happens in different ways — each one serendipitous.

Some start subtle — desires that need probing and nurturing. Some instantly appear, catching your breath out of nowhere (Eureka!).

I‘m talking about these vivid dreams, bursting with colors and vibrating with nervous excitement. They feel so strong you’re convinced they’re just at arm’s length away.

You had to break limiting beliefs to turn your dreams into reality. Each time setting yourself up for a new challenge, thinking you got this all figured out.

But then suddenly, life takes an unexpected detour.

It’s frustrating, isn’t it?

But here’s the thing — setbacks are not the end of your story. When you lose something, you gain space for growth. How else can you make space for more?

It’s like decluttering your life to make room for treasures you haven’t even discovered yet.

Embracing the Waiting Season

I understand how it feels when the world seems to rush past you while you stand still.

We’ve all played it, scrolling through social media, watching everyone’s highlight reels.

While it’s easy to feel left out in the race of achievements, remember that life doesn’t run on a single track. Each of us has a unique path, a rhythm that beats to our own drum. Your journey is unlike anyone else’s — embrace that.

In your waiting, you’re not stagnant. At the moment, things may appear to be not working. It sucks, I know.

It may not look like it, but you’re growing, evolving. In the bigger picture, this waiting season will be the jump-off point to your trajectory.

So have a little faith, dear dreamer.

Just like nature’s seasons, you’re in your own spiritual spring — a time of renewal and rebirth. You see, trusting God in difficult times isn’t just a notion; it’s an act of sweet child-like surrender, a testament to the strength within you.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
(Ecclesiastes 3:11)

This profound verse in Ecclesiastes 3:11 whispers of how everything is made beautiful in its time. It’s like the universe holds a secret code, a rhythm that only reveals itself when you’re ready to listen.

You’re here, reading this, because you’re starting to decipher that code, feeling the vibrations of the universe echo within you.

The Beauty of God’s Timing

I know you got plans and you’re working on your goals with a deadline attached to them.

Sometimes results show up when you want them. If there are delays or it’s not happening the way you want it, maybe there are things you have to learn in the process.

Always remember — God is always on time. You don’t have to micromanage the Universe, dear.

Trusting God’s timing is an art, a sublime surrender to the universal flow. Your journey’s pace is unique, guided by the unseen hands of a force that knows you better than you know yourself.

Still, it’s okay to falter, to doubt. It means you’re learning.

Take a moment to reflect. What ignites that fire within you? What makes your heart race? Remember, the journey isn’t about reaching a destination — it’s about the stories you gather along the way.

Dear Dreamer,

As you navigate the silence, remember Ecclesiastes 3:11 and its profound meaning — your time, your beauty, your purpose will be unveiled in a symphony beyond your imagination.

Keep trusting, keep growing, keep embracing the silence.

Your wings are forming, and soon, you’ll take flight.

With love and unwavering support,

Your Fellow Dreamer
