The Waiting

   

        Waiting for the right may take you to being impatient but if you have faith that one day, it would come at the right and perfect time.

        A proposal for sponsorship for me with my child was offered in 2010 by my brother when my relationship with my ex-husband became rocky and chaotic. Because of my determination to stay as one family, I chose to stay with my ex-husband and tried to work it out. Unfortunately, it failed. Maybe it was not the right time.

        In 2011, I gave birth to my second child. I asked my brother this time for help to immigrate with my children. To my dismay, he was not convinced that I was sure about it and he was considering the welfare of my children especially the youngest if I left them for Canada that period. Again, maybe that was not the right time. 

       So I continue working hard for my children and putting all my trust to God for whaetever the future may bring us. Until after 5 years, I see that clear silver lining of my dreams as I continue to cling to God. Prayers I can say is my ultimate weapon for this waiting is faith and prayers to go on.

A Dream

       In 2008, living in Canada started to be my dream. Visualizing how it is good to live there as my sister-in-law had told me once one time during their first vacation in the Philippines. She was hired as a nurse in 2008 and got her family a year. I was amazed on how she built up Canada to me. It is good especially if you have young children. Its government is very supportive and considerate to all its residences and citizens. Work and you will be rewarded. Work harder and you will get what you deserve. She told me about equality between man and woman. She told me about the numerous good points about how perfect it is to live in Canada. 

     What made me dream after her amazing stories about living in Canada is the better future that awaits my children. From then, I always dream, one day, our feet would set on its soil, walk over snowy grounds, catch the maple leaves during fall, see the beautiful flowers during spring and appreciate the sun on summer days. One day...in God's perfect time.
