A letter from May 24, 2026

Dear Simi, Happy Birthday. If you are reading this today, it means God has carried you through another season of life. It means time has passed, mercy has spoken, and your story is still being written by the One who never makes mistakes. Right now, as I write this, I am still waiting. Still believing. Still praying. Still trusting God for direction, for open doors, for travelling grace, for peace, for provision, and for a life that aligns with His will for me. There are days I feel strong in faith, and there are days I quietly ask God, “When, Lord?” But even in my waiting, I choose to believe that He is working all things together for my good. I do not know what you are reading this from today, but I pray that you are standing in a testimony. I pray that God has gone ahead of you and made a way where there seemed to be none. I pray that doors you once knocked on in tears have now opened in joy. I pray that the journey of travelling, growth, and transition has aligned with God’s perfect timing for your life. I pray that you are not only in the place you once dreamed of, but that you are also at peace in your spirit. That your mind is no longer heavy. That your heart is no longer anxious. That your faith is stronger than your fear. I pray that you look back at this season and say, “God was with me all along.” Please do not forget this version of you — the one who prayed without proof, who believed without seeing, who trusted God even when it was hard. And if anything did not unfold the way you expected, I pray you still see the hand of God in it. Because even delays are not denials in His presence. Even silence is not absence. Even waiting is not wasting. Simi, be encouraged. You are not forgotten. You are not delayed beyond purpose. You are not overlooked. You are being prepared. And I truly believe that by the time you read this, you will understand why certain seasons had to take time. So today, I bless you with peace. I bless your journey with clarity. I bless your hands with success. I bless your steps with direction. And I bless your future with joy that only God can give. Happy Birthday, my dear Simi. May your life be a living testimony of God’s faithfulness. With faith, Present You 🤍
