One day,
I\u2019ll stumble into the very thing
I\u2019ve been chasing in silence,
not when I\u2019m searching,
but when my heart has almost given up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day,
I\u2019ll look back and smile,
seeing how far I\u2019ve walked,
how many nights I prayed,
how many times I carried hope
as the only thing in my pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day,
my stories of hunger and waiting
will turn into laughter,
because pain will no longer sting,
it will only remind me
that joy was worth the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day,
my song won\u2019t be about survival.
It will be about victory,
about how broken roads led me
to doors I never imagined.
The tears I shed then
will be nothing compared to the tears of joy I\u2019ll shed now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God is writing my story,
from nothing, He is making something.
From ashes, He is building beauty.
From my scars,
He is shaping strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when it all falls into place,
my life will no longer just be mine.
It will be a lamp of hope,
a melody of joy,
a living testimony
that God makes the impossible real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day,
I\u2019ll sit with others who are still walking,
still searching, still holding on by a thread,
and I\u2019ll remind them that waiting is never wasted,
that God\u2019s timing is never late,
and their story too will turn into light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day,
I\u2019ll realize the wilderness was a training ground,
that every setback was a step forward,
that every unanswered prayer was a redirection,
And I\u2019ll thank God
for every \u201cnot yet\u201d
that led me to the perfect \u201cnow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day,
I will not just tell my story,
I will live it out loud,
as proof that faith carries,
that hope heals,
and that God always finishes
what He has started in me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
