“Never rush into falling in love because love never runs out. let love be the one to knock on your door. Besides, true love is worth waiting for.” – Unknown
It’s the last day of the month and this is my first and last post for December 2018. I was inspired to write about this topic after I read a long quote about why you should wait for the one.
Personally, I am not the best in waiting. Living in a time where mostly everything comes fast; food, cars, etc., it’s really not easy to wait.
But if there is one thing I learned in being single for 4 years, it’s that you should never settle for anything less because God has the best plans for you.

Ofcourse there are other people who choose to be single for as long as they live so this is for the ones who have been waiting impatiently, who have been crying most days because it doesn’t seem to work out with anybody, to those who got their hearts broken because they insisted on being with a person that isn’t good for them but is still with them because they don’t want to be alone, for those who keep on questioning their worth and thinking something is wrong with them because no one seem to like them and for those who’ve grown tired of waiting and thinking of settling down with just any person. Please don’t.
Have you ever thought that maybe nothing is working out because God didn’t allow it to work out? Or maybe it’s because God is still working on you or your partner?

I don’t have answers to these questions because I have asked this before too.
But one thing’s for sure, if it’s God-given, you will know. There won’t be confusion, doubts and everything will fall into place. There will be tears though. Happy tears 🙂
It may sound odd for some but I honestly loved being single. It was when I was single that I have learned more about myself. I used the time to discover what I want and don’t want. What my strengths are and what my weaknesses are. I traveled a lot and pushed myself out of my comfort zone. But it wasn’t easy. I have days when I felt alone and wondered maybe I should give guys a chance to get to know me instead of shutting them out. I have days when I let my guard down and get to know someone but ofcourse it didn’t work out because they weren’t for me.
Looking back now, I think it was God’s way of preparing me because when I finally did get married last August, I never felt confused or had thoughts about what if I didn’t get married and just continued to travel. I was at peace and happy where I was. I still want to travel but this time I want to travel with my husband. I want him to see the things I’ve seen, to visit the places I’ve been to. To explore new cities and try different cuisines together. But if you’ve been following me, there are certain places and countries I avoided to visit while I was still single because I reserved them for when I’m married and have a family.
I’ve never been to any Disneyland because I wanted to experience it with my own family. I have never flown to Maldives because I wanted to enjoy the beach and beautiful cabanas with my husband. There are still so many countries to explore and I have a feeling my family will be traveling a lot 🙂
Now before I keep on blabbing about traveling, here’s a great quote to ponder on, “The right one will come in God’s timing.” Trust it. Because He never fails.
Happy New Year everyone!!!
