when you don’t understand what God is doing

Today, I want to share a story with you that I’ve been reflecting on a lot lately. It’s about a journey of self-discovery, heartache, and finding love in unexpected places.

For the longest time, I couldn’t understand why it felt like I was always coming up short with dating. I had what I thought girls wanted — a decent sense of humor and good intentions.

But it seemed like things would be going well with a girl and then they would just suddenly end. I couldn’t understand this feeling of rejection and confusion. And I think we tend to get angry when we don’t understand why something is the way it is. I would look at all of the couples around me and all of my friends in relationships on social media and think, “where is the girl who would be proud to be in a relationship with me?” I was starting to think maybe relationships weren’t meant for me after all.

Then, I met someone who I was convinced was ‘the one.’ We had so much in common, and I was certain that this was finally it — my happily ever after. But as fate would have it, things didn’t work out the way I thought they would. She got really busy with her career and just like that, as soon as it fast as it started, it was over.

It was a tough pill to swallow at the time, but looking back now, I realize that God had other plans for me. Plans that I couldn’t comprehend at the time, but plans that would ultimately lead me to where I am today; blessed and happier than ever. God’s timing is always the best timing.

Almost a year after that ended, I finally met my dream girl. My best friend basically told me to message her on Instagram because he knew her and I would have a lot in common. I decided to do it, and suddenly, everything fell into place. It was like a light bulb moment — all the failed relationships, all the heartache, they were leading me to her. We hit it off so well that there wasn’t a doubt in my mind that this was the person God had been saving for me. I thought I was sure about love before, but this love felt different; it was a gift from God.

Meeting her made me realize that there was a reason why things didn’t work out with anyone else. God was preparing both of us for each other, molding us into the people we needed to be so that when we finally crossed paths, we wouldn’t mess it up.

So to anyone out there who’s feeling discouraged or lost in their search for love, just know that everything happens for a reason. Trust in God’s timing, because when the right person comes along, it’ll all make sense.
