How soon do you realize that bad things that happen in your life bring better things?

From where I live, things like this are called "blessings in disguise", that's why I had to search for a silver lining's meaning in google thus I stumbled upon silver lining quotes that I added in this post too.

Hello, Steemit friends, in the Philippines and around the world! I hope you are well and happy. But without further ado, let me start by sharing three of the silver linings that happened in my life.

I had a premarital pregnancy

I had premarital pregnancy with my first child when I was twenty and it took me four months to hide it from my family. I was devastated by what happened to me. My boyfriend, now my husband is supportive but we were too young at that time. We were so scared of what happened and tried to halt it. iT was probably the biggest sin I had with God but the pregnancy opened my eyes and turned me 180 degrees from the sin.

I took the courage to tell my family about my situation; they all got so mad at me and I had a heavy heart throughout my pregnancy. It was so hard to be alone, None of my family was there for me and it made me so strong and I stood for my child.

After a few months, my parents allowed my husband to visit and he took care of me for the little time we had and I took care of myself during the two trimesters left in the pregnancy.

The pregnancy deepened my bond with God for it is HIm whom I tell my problems about crying myself to sleep.

I am so thankful that I was able to deliver a healthy child despite the pains I got through and the pains I still had at that time

Now I and my husband is married and we are living happily with our growing family.

Not being able to buy my own phone

Six months after I delivered my eldest child, I applied for work and was hired for a contract of six months. Back then, our salary was enough for food and our child's needs.

A year and a half later, I got a new job, the same company I am with today. I had a very stressful job but I endured until I was transferred to another position. Still, My salary is just enough, Well not maybe but my husband and I tried our luck in farming but it failed. I really wanted to connect with him even if we are working this I wanted to buy a phone but we always use the money for more important matters.

Then when I was transferred to my position today, I was issued not just a phone but it came with a data pack in it. It was a globe plan 1299 data pack and a Huawei y9s phone. I got more than I wanted and got it for free! See how my patience was rewarded?

Then last January, I was able to buy a brand new phone, finally! I wanted to use it, o finally use a phone I bought from my hard earned money but my husband need sit more

The pandemic hit the World

Having a pandemic while working is such a scary thing to do. I was really scared for my and my family's health. But despite the woes I had, I saw the pandemic as a good thing, I'm sorry to those who lost dear ones but The pandemic brought people closer, and gave eh nature a pause.

And because of eh pandemic, I was able to find Steemit! It was in May 2021 when I saw a post in facebook about this lovely community and I inquired and eventually joined the same day. It took me some time to understand te community but it was all worth it.

Before that, spent many times looking for sites that I could earn from online, and Thank God, I found Steemit. I only chased out one time but I know, this platform is legit and I am building everything that I earn here.

I may get busy in my physical life but my heart yearns to be in Steemit all day.

Time is getting in between again so I might as well finish this blog so I could prepare to go home already. That will be all for today. I hope you were inspired by the silver-lining events in my life.

Here are the lessons I learned form these silver lini sin my life

One should be very patient in life, and one should know that God is there and will never leave you. Your despairs are only temporary for all things shall pass and that God rewards you for being humble, kind and lowly.

We may be overwhelmed, desperate, hurt, displaced or whatever worse that would come but remember that God is always doing something that could make our lives better and happier. Endure the pain, and you'll soon tatse the sweet reward.
