For the person waiting for “the one.” ⬇️
I wish I could go back and tell the younger version of me what God was going to do with her story.
At 20, I was in a toxic relationship. At 21, I walked through heartbreak and lost what I thought was my dream job. I had no idea some things falling apart were making room for an entirely different life. 🙏🏼
At 22, I gave my life completely to Jesus. Then I met the man I would marry. We fell in love, got married, and I thought, “This is it. My life is finally beginning.” ❤️
But two weeks after our honeymoon, I became extremely sick. What I thought would be a short season turned into almost a decade. For 9½ years, I watched dreams get delayed—my health, motherhood, ministry, my career. ✝️
Then I watched God begin to restore what I thought I had lost. Healing. Motherhood. Ministry. Purpose. Dreams I thought I had missed started happening in ways I never could have planned. 📖
At 38, I was holding the miracle baby I once wondered if I would ever have.
And this week marks our 13th anniversary to the love of my life. ❤️ Through every high, every low, every prayer, and every season of waiting you’ve been right beside me.
So maybe “the one” you’re waiting for is a husband. Maybe it’s the baby. The healing. The breakthrough. The calling. The opportunity. The answered prayer.
Just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean your story is over.
Don’t compare your timeline to someone else’s highlight reel. You have no idea what God can do with a chapter you never would have chosen.
👉🏼 Send this to someone still waiting for “the one.” God is still writing your story. ❤️
