It's Okay, Things Happen for Reasons I Cannot Ignore

Yesterday I was wrecked. Not by a major event but by a string of small disappointments that stacked and folded into each other. I wanted to quit everything. And then something strange happened. I found an old journal entry from exactly one year ago. Every prayer I had written was either answered or reshaped into something better. That’s when it hit me:

Some things happen for reasons we will understand.
Other things happen for reasons we may never understand.
But both deserve trust.

Trust the Unseen

It’s okay. Life didn’t go my way today. It might not go my way tomorrow. But what if it’s going the right way? Even if I can’t see it yet. Even if it hurts. I am use to this emotion so it will NOT rock me.

For the rest of 2025, the phases look like this:

  1. Accept mystery, not control it

  2. Trust the process, not pressure it

  3. Listen more, force less

  4. Choose faith, even when it doesn’t make sense

Everything is happening for me, not to me. And maybe… it’s okay to not know why right now.

CONSIDER…

What are you forcing that needs surrender?

What painful moment ended up blessing you later?

Can you trust even when you don’t understand?

Lean in. Breathe deep. It’s okay. xx VM.
