I don’t even know how to fully put this into words. This journey humbled me. It broke my timelines, tested my patience, and pushed me to surrender control—something I’ve always struggled with. There were moments of doubt, silent prayers, and days when waiting felt heavier than working.
From retaking my IELTS twice, to waiting for NZ Teaching Registration, TRBWA, AITSL outcome, and that long wait for an invitation after lodging our EOI—each step felt uncertain. But looking back now, God was working in every delay, every redirection, every “not yet.”
A reminder that God listens, God provides, and God fulfills His promises in His perfect time. I offer this blessing back to Him. 🤍
What started in 2023 as a simple dream is now something we’re finally holding in our hands, by God’s grace.
