I’m Ghabbie. I’m 28 years old and I have a degree in psychology.
Most people my age are already married, have invested in something, received a promotion, or became successful in their business. I felt that I was in a “quarter-life crisis” because I have reached this age and I have worked in a bank for 7 years without any accomplishment. I really wanted to do something that will make me happy and I want to make my life meaningful. I prayed about it and I have decided to get a master’s degree in special education. I was excited to go back to school and meet new people. I want a change of career and do something that I love. I even applied to teach arts to exceptional children.
But this pandemic happened. All my dreams became impossible to achieve. I could say that Covid19 ruined everyone’s lives. I lost hope. I feel like I have nothing to look forward to anymore. But I’m trying my best to be strong for me and my family. Every time I pray, I ask Heavenly Father to give me strength to endure. This pandemic made me appreciate more the little things in life. And every day that I wake up, I am very grateful that I am with my family and the Lord provides us what we need to survive. I couldn’t ask for anything more. I know Heavenly Father hears our prayers. I am so blessed with everything I have in life right now. I have hope now, and I know that God is always there with us.
I know that we are all children of God and despite of everything that is happening around us, He will never leave our side. I testify that if we do our part and if we have faith, we will be blessed. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
