Musings of a 'Princess' Wannabe 3: Detour

Detour

This coming April, I was about to enroll for a make-up artistry class. A dream come true, isn't it? When my Dad told me that he would shoulder everything, I was never been happier. I was excited looking forward on my first day. I even imagined myself working for runways...

Unexpected happened.

My dream came into halt when my Dad was rushed last week to the hospital because of heart attacks. Everything fell apart. Obviously, I won't be able to enroll anymore because the money would be alloted for his hospitalization. I was devastated.

Honestly, my faith got challenged. I felt like God dangled a lollipop in front of my face and yanked it back. In other words, I can't help but make 'tampo' to him. I was at a point where I was already standing up and making new dreams, then this happened.

But, as they say, God has a way. Up to this point, I'm trying to understand why this happened. I guess, God wants me to teach me something.
I mean, I was not a Daddy's girl. Ironic isn't it? But I was not really that close to him.

Probably, this is God's way of reinkindling my relationship with him. Though my Dad is by nature, an inexpressive person. I don't mind at all. Ako na lang ang magbibigay for him.

I don't let God do the walking for me. I step my feet on the ground even if I don't feel like waking up. What keeps me going the thought that, I have friends who never fails to show their compassion on me.

As for my dream, it could wait. Besides, there's a time for everything. For the moment, I have to focus on other things that are more important. My family.
