Almost 3 years ago I wrote about a friend of mine that was tired of answering the questions of why she had never gotten married. This weekend she gets to show off the man that she was waiting for. The perfect for her happily ever after man that God had planned for her. I am thrilled to be able to go and witness this blessed event and I just wanted to touch on once again how important it is to be still and wait.
I scrolled back through messages that she and I had shared and I found one that I find is excellent advice and yes it is my advice and yes I am saying that something I came up with is excellent. I want you to know that my friend has a highly intelligent head on her shoulders and did not need my advice, but I am always willing to share my advice especially if I feel I can make someone laugh.
She had been asked out by someone that she wasn't sure about going out with. I imagined that she was struggling with the decision and thought that maybe she should investigate every opportunity to find wedded bliss. Again, I want to reiterate she was more likely than not perfectly firm in her convictions but here was my response to her situation....
How about an analogy? You are on a world tour. You are experiencing the finest delicacies and sights this world has to offer. You are on a journey that leads to genuine joy and true happiness. You get hungry and decide to stop at the It'll do cafe for week old meatloaf in Podunk, backwoods America. You get food poisoning and die a slow painful death.
Being single is not the worst thing that could happen to you. I will add that being in a difficult relationship is not the worst thing that could happen to you either. Happiness is a choice! Get out there and live your life because you only get one!!
