Dear friend,

I know how you feel, I have been there before. All through high school, it never really bothered me that I was the single girl. Although I thought it would be nice to have someone ask me to prom or just ask me if I wanted to go and get something to eat after a football game, but that never happened. And yes, I was the awkward fifth wheel of my prom group even though we all went as "friends".

I got to college and half way through my first semester, I became jealous of the girls who were in relationships. It was one of the hardest things ever to see everyone so happy when I was unhappy. I know exactly how you feel.

I thought something was wrong with me so I began praying to God. I remembered that He was the only man that I should be pursuing since He is pursuing me every single day of my life. Right then, I began to grow in my relationship with Christ through prayer, study, service, and fellowship among other believers.

One night, I was laying in bed about midnight, and I was upset. I began to cry and then I remembered the verse “Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10). I remember asking God with big tears in my eyes, “God, why? I have waited long enough for you to move and nothing has happened.” Suddenly I heard the words, “Be Still My Daughter.” Instantly, I had a peace come over me.

Everything happens in God’s timing, because His timing is perfect. Nothing is wrong with you, beautiful one, because you are created in the very image of Jesus Christ. Our Father has big plans for you. He is going to bring you someone when you need him the most, but you must first learn to fully depend on your Heavenly Father. Through His perfect timing, you will meet someone who will completely sweep you off of your feet.

Sweet friend, you deserve a gentleman who is going to: open the car door for you, give you flowers, buy dinner, and dance with you in the rain. Someone who makes you laugh until you cry. Someone who will make you smile so big that your cheeks hurt. But most of all, you deserve someone who will put his relationship with Christ before you and will treat you like the princess that you are.

When you wait for God’s timing, you will realize that the time you were waiting was not actually so bad after all, because you will see the fruits of your labor. I waited for almost nineteen years for God to send me a funny, attractive, encouraging, Godly young man and God has provided me with exceeding, abundantly more than I ever hoped for. The guy I have makes me smile until my cheeks hurt. He makes me laugh until I cry. He will tell me I can finish the assignment at the best of my ability that I am stressing over. But, the greatest of them all, is that he encourages me to strengthen my walk with Jesus Christ daily.

Daughter of the King, dance with God and He will let the right man cut in!
