How to Trust Divine Timing (Even When It’s Hard)

There’s a certain ache that comes with waiting.

You’ve done the inner work. You’ve set your intentions. You’ve visualised, journaled, healed, aligned… and yet the thing you’re manifesting still hasn’t arrived. It’s easy to wonder if the Universe forgot about you — or worse, if you did something wrong.

But what if that delay is actually a divine design?

The Vision That Took Nine Years

I want to share something personal.

Years ago, I asked the Universe for a sign about something that felt important — soul-deep. I wanted to know: What was going to happen? What I received wasn’t vague or symbolic. It was a clear vision. A future moment I could see so vividly, I felt it in my bones. The kind of knowing you can’t explain, only feel.

But after that vision… nothing happened quickly. In fact, it took nine years for that exact moment to come to life. During those years, there were doubts, detours, and deep healing. At times I questioned whether the vision was real. But when it finally unfolded, I realised it had never been a “no” — it was always a not yet.

That experience reminded me: the Universe doesn’t operate on our timelines. It works with divine precision — aligning people, places, and possibilities in ways we can’t always see.

Why the Waiting Hurts

We live in a world that rewards speed. Manifestation is often marketed as instant — “Think it, get it!” But soul-aligned manifestation isn’t about forcing outcomes. It’s about becoming the version of you who can hold what you’ve asked for.

And sometimes, that becoming takes time.

Delays aren’t signs of failure. They’re invitations into deeper alignment, into trust, into becoming.

What to Do While You Wait

If you’re in the “in-between” — here’s how to hold your vision and honour divine timing at the same time:

1. Embody the energy now

Ask yourself: If I already had the thing I’m calling in — how would I feel? What would I believe? How would I show up today?

Living from that future version of you creates an energetic match for your desires.

2. Tend to your inner world

This is where my ALIGN sessions come in. Sometimes, the waiting is asking you to realign with your soul. To reconnect, release what no longer serves, and strengthen your intuition. Through the ALIGN process, I help clients identify energetic misalignments and return to their truth — ready to magnetise what they desire.

3. Make it safe to receive

It’s not just about manifesting more — it’s about feeling safe to hold it. Through SHINE energy healing sessions, we gently clear blocks, regulate the nervous system, and expand your capacity to receive love, abundance, and clarity. You’re not just attracting your next level — you’re preparing to sustain it.

4. Trust the pauses

Sometimes, things aren’t “on hold.” They’re preparing behind the scenes. The Universe is always working in your favour, even when you can’t see it.
