Hmm.. just wanted to share my thoughts on what I've learnt recently.. Hopefully you'll be encouraged and know you are not alone:)
"Where is the one? the one who's God has made for me?" Sounds familiar?
I've been guilty of asking where is the One.. I've been consumed with finding the One since I was 18!
I hoped to be married by 21. But I guess God had other plans for me.
I put hope in the guys that they could be the One for me.. the One who'll save me.. the One who'll love me..
I've been looking and waiting for the One for so long now.. Each guy I met I did a mental check against the list I had..
Only to get hurt and disappointed.. Just when I thought that the One for me does not exist in real life.. When I had given up hope of ever finding him..
He showed up.. the list in the flesh.. Only for him to say he can't see marrying me.. so the man I thought was the One.. Didn't want to be my One..
The story of my complicated life.. sigh.. I wonder why did God give me such strong desires to be a mum when it's not my time yet?
Being hurt and disappointed so many times I'm afraid to hope.. I don't want to get disappointed.. I don't want to feel the pain of rejection..
God in His mercy lead one of my friends to send me a link to an online sermon.. titled once upon a marriage.
From this series.. I was reminded that the One is just right in front of me.. He's been waiting patiently.. Loving me unconditionally.
I have put too much expectations on people when I expect them to be the One..
When technically.. God should be the One and only One.
So.. let me rephrase.. Where is my two? I use to have all these plans and expectations in life..
But knowing what I know at the moment.. I should be in no hurry considering the One loves me unconditionally and knows best!
My new saying
Let us do our Best,
Let God do the Rest,
Trusting that He knows Best
