The good years are coming. Hold on.

New Voicemail From God — 5:47 AM

“I want to tell you about the years that are coming.

They’re going to be so good. Better than you’ve imagined. Better than you’ve dared to pray for. Better than you’ve allowed yourself to hope for after everything you’ve been through.

you’re going to look back and realize the wait was worth every single moment.

– Jacqueline Whitney

I know the last few have been hard. I know there were moments when you thought it would always be like this. Moments when you wondered if you’d ever feel light again. Moments when you almost stopped believing that good things were still coming for you. But they are.

The years ahead are going to feel like an exhale. Like coming home after a long journey. Like finally arriving somewhere you didn’t know you were going. They’re going to bring people who love you well. Opportunities that align with who you’ve become. Peace that doesn’t feel earned because you’ll finally believe you deserve it.

Everything you’ve walked through has been preparing you for what’s next.

Every closed door. Every long wait. Every season of grief and growth. None of it was wasted.

Hold on. Keep going. The good years are right around the corner. And you’re going to look back and realize the wait was worth every single moment.”
