Growing up with many hardships in Liloan, Cebu, taught me to be strong and mature beyond my years. Even while I was busy with my second year of college studying for my BSED-English degree, I kept a space in my heart for the dream of having my own family. I knew I needed someone mature and responsible, and I prayed for a man who would truly value my soul.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I am so happy to share that I have finally found him! My forever John is the man of my dreams. Despite the distance and what people might say about age, our souls connected instantly. We communicated constantly, and I felt his sincerity every single day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We were married online on December 14, 2021, and we are now living happily here in the US with the newest addition to our family, our daughter, Michaela! My journey from a student with a dream to a wife with a beautiful future has been a wonderful blessing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To everyone still searching: Remember that maturity is a choice and love is a matter of faith. Don\u2019t be discouraged by the &#8220;long run.&#8221; If you stay true to yourself and trust the process, the wait will lead you to your soulmate. Thank you to the Christian Filipina community for bringing me to my husband. God bless you all!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SPREAD LOVE, NOT HATE.
