Awaiting His Timing

"How long you wait determines how deep is your love and faith." Ito ang pananaw ni Jacob nang magsimulang tumibok ang puso niya para sa babaeng limang taon ang agwat mula sa kanya, si Rachel.

Since Rachel was still minor, Jacob never made himself known to the girl for he doesn't want to become her distraction. Instead, he waited for her to be a grown-up woman, to graduate in her degree and become professional. For seven years, Jacob's waiting was accompanied by prayer, fasting and faithful serving to the Author of Love.

Now that Jacob got the sign he prayed to God for so long-a sign to finally introduce himself to the lady and for their story to finally betell. Upon meeting the 'woman-of-his-prayers', he also met the one who have already stolen the heart of Rachel, named Silas.

Will Jacob still wait for His timing?
Or withdraw from fighting?

This story is inspired by the Biblical characters, Jacob and Rachel, in the Book of Genesis and the Prayer Mountain 'A Place Called Peniel' at Capaz, Tarlac.
