Truth #1: Expect the Unexpected

Ladies, when it comes to finding your one true love. "Finding" the person is the trick. What if you don't find him? Or what if you think you find him but he turns out to be a serious dud?

Love is unexpected. That has been my experience. Unexpected for my life involves engagement at 21 years old. Last time I checked, I was an independent, single woman looking to move to Texas after my college graduation. Now I find myself nose deep into planning the wedding that will make me the proud wife of a wonderful man. This wasn't in my plan, but God never asked me for my plans.

The Lord turned my life completely upside down. When my fiance began pursuing me, I didn't want to have anything to do with him. I even broke up with him because I was so set in my single woman ways. In our relationship, I have learned that loving the Lord before each other is what keeps the relationship alive. Otherwise, I end up failing him, and he ends up failing me. Divorce rates are rampant in our country, and I truly believe it is because husband and wife look for perfection in each other. They expect their soulmate to make them happy, every day.

So, if you are single, and just dying to find that one prince charming, look to the heavens. He is there, smiling down on his beloved bride. And for those ladies who are engaged/married, look to the heavens as well, because, as much as he may desire to, your prince charming will never satisfy your longings for a sovereign, holy love. Yes, the Lord has brought them into your life for a reason and life partners are a gift from above. However, everything comes back to the Lord. Praise and Honor be to His name!
