When the Time is Right: A Letter to Every Woman Waiting for Her Miracle

“When the time is right, I, the Lord will make it happen.”
—Isaiah 60:22

I read this verse again today, and it hit differently.

Maybe because my heart needed to hear it.

Maybe because I’ve been quietly battling emotions that are too heavy to name, especially when no one else seems to understand how deeply this waiting hurts.

If you’re someone who’s been praying, hoping, crying, and trying to keep the faith for that one thing—whether it’s a child, a husband, healing, or even just peace—then I hope this letter finds you like a warm hug on a cold, uncertain day.

Zeinab Harake: From Pain to Promise

I’ve been quietly following Zeinab Harake’s story over the past few years.

For those who know her, she’s not just a content creator or influencer. She’s a woman who went through fire and came out with grace.

She’s shared how she went through a painful relationship, lost a baby due to miscarriage, experienced deep postpartum depression, and faced judgment from so many people—strangers, followers, bashers. And yet, she kept showing up. Kept living. Kept holding on.

And then recently, something shifted.

Zeinab found love again in someone who saw her fully—past the pain, past the public image, past the noise. Ray Parks, an athlete, someone admired by many, chose her. Embraced her. Loved her—along with her past and her two children.

And I can already hear the judgments flying.

“Bakit siya pa?”
“Eh may anak na siya sa iba.”
“Di ba ang dami na niyang pinagdaanan?”

But here’s the thing: people see the surface. God sees the soul.

When God’s Plan Doesn’t Make Sense

Sometimes, we look at other people’s lives and wonder:

“Bakit sila? Bakit ang bilis ng sa kanila?”
“Eh ako, ang tagal ko nang naghihintay.”

If I’m being honest, I felt a twinge of envy too. A quiet whisper in my soul asking, “Lord, nakalimutan Mo na ba ako?” All I’ve ever wanted was to become a mom. To hold my own child in my arms. To see two lines on a pregnancy test and not feel fear or sadness, but pure joy.

Pero hanggang ngayon, wala pa rin.

I see women who never even planned for a child, getting pregnant effortlessly. I see couples who just got married last year, now posting maternity shoots and baby showers.

And then there’s me.
Still waiting.
Still praying.
Still trying to believe.

Faith Isn’t Always Pretty

Let’s be honest: having faith is not always romantic. It’s not always as pretty as Instagram quotes or Pinterest boards.

Sometimes faith looks like crying in the bathroom at 2 AM.
Sometimes it’s praying the same prayer for the hundredth time.
Sometimes it’s feeling jealous, then guilty for feeling jealous.
Sometimes it’s staying kind to people who don’t understand your pain.
Sometimes it’s showing up to a baby shower with a fake smile and a breaking heart.

And still—we choose to believe. Even when it doesn’t make sense.

Even when our timeline is falling apart. Even when the world says, “Give up.”

We choose faith not because we’re strong, but because we’ve already surrendered to the truth that we are not in control.

“When the time is right…”

That verse—Isaiah 60:22—pulled me out of my spiral.

“When the time is right, I the Lord will make it happen.”

Not me.
Not my doctor.
Not my timeline.
Not my positive thinking.

The Lord will make it happen.

The same God who created the stars, parted the seas, healed the sick, raised the dead—He is the same God who holds your dreams in His hands.

And He is never late.

He is just writing a story that makes sense only in the fullness of time.

Maybe this season of waiting is not a punishment but preparation.

What if your heart needs to be made stronger for the child who needs a warrior mom?

What if your husband-to-be is still being molded to love you in the way you deserve?

What if your miracle is being protected from things you don’t even see?

And what if the pain you’re feeling now will one day be the reason someone else doesn’t give up?

Sis, I know it hurts.

I know the silence of heaven can feel deafening.

But what if this delay is actually divine timing?

What We Don’t See Behind the Blessings

When we look at someone like Zeinab, we see the blessings—but we didn’t live through the breaking.

We see the love story, but we didn’t feel the loneliness.

We see the restoration, but we forget the rejection.

So let’s stop comparing timelines. Your story is different, not delayed. Your path is sacred, not stagnant. Your miracle is not missing—it’s just marinating in the grace of perfect timing.

If You’re Waiting Too…

This is for the woman waiting for a child.

The woman waiting to be chosen.
The woman waiting to feel whole again.
The woman waiting for peace after pain.
The woman who cries in secret and shows up in public like everything’s okay.

You are not forgotten.
You are not invisible.
You are not less than.

Your story matters. Your pain matters. And your healing is coming.

In the silence, God is still working.
In the waiting, God is still faithful.
In the heartbreak, God is still good.

Because when the time is right, He will make it happen.

And When It Happens…

When it finally happens—when your womb carries life, or your heart meets home, or your tears turn into joy—you will see:

That it was all worth it.
That God didn’t forget you.
That His “no” was really “not yet.”
That His timing was protecting you, not punishing you.

And when that moment comes, I pray you’ll look back and say, “Grabe, Lord. Ang galing Mo.”

Because that’s what He does. He writes redemption stories. And yours? It’s just getting started.

Let’s Be There for Each Other

If this blog post spoke to you, I want you to know you’re not alone. This space—PCOS Millennials—was created for women like us who are tired, trying, and still trusting.

If you’re struggling with PCOS, infertility, or just feeling like life hasn’t gone your way, please share your story in the comments or send me a message. Let’s build a safe space together. Let’s cry, laugh, and hope with one another.

Because healing becomes lighter when we carry it together.

And if this helped you, please share it with someone who needs to be reminded that God is still writing their story, too.

Love,
Reese ❤️
