IN GOD'S TIME

People fail. 
People cry. 
People get hurt.
And from that, people loose hope. They often loose faith.

But not with my twin brother. He stood by the test of faith and took the challenge. 
I can still remember the pain that he went through last year when he wasn't able to make it to list of board passers. 
Swollen red eyes, tear stains on his cheeks (most probably his pillows has been filled with it, too) and a face with a billion dollar question "WHY ME?". 

I, myself, can't even help but cry at that time because even I, don't know the answer.

But after a year of waiting (and thanks to the friends who stood by during those dark times)...he finally succeeded and passed the board exam. My brother is now a legitimate Geodetic Engineer. He said it was really a humbling experience for him. For he now feels what it feels like to be down below. From the experience, he can now relate to the feelings of those who've lost, those who failed. The only thing that sets him apart from them is that he managed to survive the challenge by sticking with HIM.

Indeed, when you're with GOD, the success is always sweeter than it should have been without HIM.

I salute you brother!
Congratulations!
