Sometimes we like to rush God's perfect timing. We have our lives planned out in our minds and when God's timing doesn't match that plan we try to fix it. Girls, and even guys, do this sometimes- a lot of times- when they are searching for the "one." We forget that it might be awhile before God wants to show us who we are meant to be with. We forget that we can't force someone to fall in love with us or how we do things. Most of all we think that just because we enjoy being with a certain person that means that we are supposed to be with that person forever, but the simple fact is that is not the truth. It is okay to be single. The wait will be worth it, even if you don't feel like it will be.

Even though the wait maybe much longer and filled with much more pain than you want. While you are waiting for the relationship that God has so perfectly planned for you, you have time to allow God to work in you and through you. It gives you time to become more and more dependent on the Lord and you become more in tune with Christ and His plan for you. That way when you find the "one," you know that the center of your life and your relationship will be the Lord and not your significant other. Of course, waiting is miserable but you know what isn't? Finding joy and peace in Christ and knowing that you are following His plan and not your own. I am 100% confident that Sarah did not want to wait 90 plus years to give birth to her first child, but she did. When God tells you to wait, there is a reason and it is a good one.

Waiting is not fun, especially when it seems like no one else is having to. People who are just now graduating high school are already engaged and starting their families and honestly, it is miserable to watch. You start to feel inadequate because you are graduated college and still just as single as you were when you graduated high school, but I can promise you that you are so loved. Continue to pray because one day that "one" will walk into your life and you will be able to look at them and tell them how much you have prayed for them.

At that point, you will be so in love with yourself and with your Savior that you will be able to fully love your significant other. I know how tiring it is to wait. I know that in our society being single means that you aren't loved, but the truth is you are. Your worth is not determined by if you are in a relationship or not. Your worth was determined when God created the Heavens and the Earth. God had you in mind as He was forming the world around you because even then He knew that you would be hurting as you were sitting, waiting for the "one" He created for you to marry. Don't let this world you live in make you feel inadequate or unloved just because you have yet to find your "someone."
