What are you really waiting for? Before you answer this question, I'd like to share my discovery with you: like many other women around the world, I have chosen to wait for my purpose partner, my soulmate, the one that I will spend the rest of my life with. Until then, however, I am waiting...

Well... not really, I am not waiting for him to find me because I have so much life to explore. See, this is were the frustration happens; when women (I too, at a point) hear that you are waiting for the right man, they think that you aren't enjoying life. They picture a sad, lonely, unfortunate woman when, in actuality, "the wait" is just the name of a phase. It is the time period that God uses to mold His daughter into the great woman that she is destined to be; this goes beyond finding "the one".

Many people choose to discover their passion after marriage, and then they realize that this guy will never get them where they want to be. In the "waiting" period, God takes you on a marvelous journey that opens your eyes; you learn to see yourself, love yourself, and truly get to know yourself. During this period, you are humbled and taught to love beyond looks; it gives you a clearer vision of the kind of man that you want to marry. Realize, my sisters, that you are worth one man loving you forever rather than several playing with your heart.

In the waiting phase, you learn that you are a priceless jewel to God, so you'd only want the man that knows how to handle that kind of treasure. By getting to know yourself, you won't settle for a man who wants to define you, but will rather choose one who wants to get to know you and accept you as you are.

Nobody is perfect, and the perfect man does not exist, but the right man does. You do not have to stop living your life for this man to catch up and find you.
