The Tower

I recently received the confirmation of my training in France. I don’t know what to think and feel. Is it finally going to happen? Am I finally going to see the Eiffel Tower?

A year ago my hopes were dashed when a scholarship that was supposed to be mine was given to someone else. I felt betrayed. I knew then what it felt like to receive a gift and yet taken away.

But later on, I realized, so what? God has given me the dream and thus I know He will give it to me.

In His own time. He knows what is best for me and when best to give a gift to me.Still, being human, sometimes I can’t help but hold my breath. I am excited yet guarded. I dream yet my feet are still on the ground.

And all I can do is pray and put my trust in Him.

It will happen. I know. One day, I will stand high above the Eiffel Tower. It will be His gift. And I will receive with thanksgving.
