A Dream That Finally Found Its Way: My Brother’s PCG Journey 💪🙏❤️

Hello everyone!

Hope all are safe and well! ☺️❤️🙏

Today, my heart is full, and I can’t help but feel so proud and grateful as I share this moment with all of you. This post is about our youngest brother — his long journey, his patience, his faith, and the dream that finally came true. ❤️🙏

He is an LPT by profession, but teaching was never really where his heart was. From the very beginning, he already knew what kind of work he wanted. His dream was to serve in uniform, to be part of the PCG, PNP, BUCOR, the fire service, or any field where he could protect, serve, and make a difference. While others questioned his choices, he stayed firm. Even when doors kept closing, he never surrendered his dream. 💪🙏❤️

For many years, he tried and tried. He applied, waited, prepared requirements, complied with documents, and went through processes that demanded time, money, and a lot of patience. Sadly, each time ended with disappointment. There were moments when we could feel his frustration, but what I admired most was that he never allowed bitterness to grow in his heart. Instead, he kept moving forward, trusting God’s timing even when it was painful. 💪🙏❤️

Then came 2025, his second time applying for the Philippine Coast Guard. This time felt different. Maybe because he was more prepared, or maybe because God already aligned everything. And true enough, after all the trials and sacrifices, the long wait finally ended. He passed. He was accepted. And just last December, he took his oath (picture taken from PCG fb page). Seeing him stand there, officially part of the PCG, was an emotional moment for our whole family. It felt like all those years of waiting finally made sense. 💪🙏❤️

After the oathtaking, we visited the church as a family. We lit candles, whispered prayers, and gave thanks to God for this blessing especially for granting my brother the desire of his heart. It wasn’t just his victory, it was a family victory. 🙏 ❤️

I am also grateful that I was able to be part of his journey. As siblings and as a family, we helped in whatever way we could financially, emotionally, spiritually. There were times when encouragement was all we could offer, but even that mattered. Sometimes, knowing that someone believes in you is already enough to keep going. 💪❤️🙏

Soon, he will go under training. As his sister, I can’t help but worry, but I choose to pray harder instead. I pray that God will give him strength, courage, and good health. I pray that he will endure the pain, the discipline, and the pressure that come with training. I also pray for kind officers and fair training enough to mold them strong but not to break their spirit. May he finish strong, healthy, and proud of himself. 🙏💪

This journey reminded me that delays are not denials. Sometimes, God allows us to wait because He is preparing us for something greater than what we originally imagined. My brother’s story is proof that perseverance, faith, and patience are never wasted. 💪🙏❤️

Have a Blessed Thursday everyone! 😀😀😀💖💖💖
