Maybe you needed to hear it this plainly today: your life has not passed you by. There is still time for the prayer to be answered, the door to open, the love to find you, and the life you imagined for yourself to become something even better than you planned.

You Asked God For A Sign.

Here it is.

You haven’t missed your chance.

The years that passed, the doors that closed, the timeline that didn’t go the way you planned — none of that disqualified you. None of it ran the clock out. None of it means what you’ve been afraid it means.

It doesn’t disappear because you took the long way around

Jacqueline Whitney

What’s meant for you doesn’t get reassigned because you took too long. It doesn’t expire because you spent years healing instead of arriving. It doesn’t disappear because you took the long way around.

You’re not too late. You’re not too broken.

You haven’t used up your chances.

You’re right on time.

And what’s coming still has your name on it.
