Everyone has something their unable to turn into a reality right away? You see, Hannah was married to a man named Elkanah and he was also wed to Peninnah, who gave him children, while Hannah was childless (1 Samuel 1:2) and Peninnah's constant mocking about Hannah being sterile, made matters even worse(1 Samuel 1:6).
The pain drove Hannah to weep in the temple(1 Samuel 1:10) and she also made a vow to the Lord that if she'd found favor in His presence, bless her with a son and in return she'd never cut his hair and dedicate his life to the Lord(1 Samuel 1:10). Little did she know that Priest Eli was observing her and thought that her silent praying meant she was drunk(1 Samuel 1:13).

WOW, Hannah's was surrounded by people who couldn't comprehend her pain; but thank God that those stressful moments motivated her to bear hug this ...
Hebrews 11:1 (GW) Faith assures us of things we expect and convinces us of the existence of things we cannot see.
After a year, Hannah's request was answered and she too honored the vow to the Lord (1 Samuel 1:24). As you welcome this Friday morning, don't forget that the Lord ALWAYS keep His word ...
Blessings from Breakfast with Jesus,
