Lady in Waiting ....

I saw Ugly Betty session 4, episode 19: The Past Presents and the future. Each minute of the 19th episode I just laughing, smiling, holding my breath and suddenly the tears come. It was the sweetest episode for me. It was Hilda’s wedding. On the day of the wedding, Justin brings Austin and Ignacio brings Elena. Daniel arrives dateless and He sees Betty come out from the car then he tells Betty that she looks great. There are sparkles in Daniel’s eye when he saw Betty. During the wedding there are a lot of loves and my heart just melted when Daniel gazes at Betty, indicating that he has realized he's in love with her when Hilda was giving her speech. On her speech Hilda talks about knowing someone better than they do and that you would do anything to protect them and how that's when you know that you are in love. The only disappointment would be why it took him (Daniel) so long to figure it out.
Well it happens in our life, sometimes it took so long for us to figure it out: “the one”. We still believe in love at the first sight, but we never realize that someone close to you might be your mate. Of course you are going to fall in love one day and it will lead to a committed, long term relationship. But 'first sight'? How many times will you fall in love before the ' right one' comes along ?
The older I get the more I believe that love at the first sight is just a myth, cause I think true love is a combo of respect, understanding and connection - and those, in my humble opinion can only be discovered when you get to know someone. Perhaps I believe in attraction at first sigh, love can not be accomplished so quickly.
I thought how wonderful my life could be if I could share it with a loving, trustful and supportive. I dreamed to find a real partner, someone that I can share my happiest and saddest moments with. Someone, who's never get tired of hearing how my day went by, a partner that is here to listen, to share, and to offer a comfort and supportive shoulder.
And sometimes, I found myself asking: "Why haven't I found him yet? What can I do to attract and get the man that I want? What different am I from the millions of happy woman enjoying good relationships with their partners?" I’m not that different from those women. I’m not less intelligent, less beautiful than most happy women.
I kept thinking perhaps I haven't been able to got the right man of my dreams because I’m not good enough, or because I have probably been making several mistakes in the way I choose, approach, behave and communicate with men?
or maybe I should just stay single for the rest of my life. Dating, marriage and kids are not in the deck of cards God has planned for me.
What if all I planned in my mind ares totally opposite of what God has in mind? What if while I’m looking for greatness I let greatness passed me by, as a matter of fact when my MR. RIGHT walks into my life, I probably won’t even recognize him.
I do believe God's way is best, His design is perfect, God has one person for you to spend forever with. Truth is, I am not sure what my Mr. Right will be like. I have an idea, but I keep thinking that as good as my idea may sound, God’s plan is a whole lot better. God is still God and always will be. His timing is perfect, not yours or mine, and when it's time, you will be with “the one” God designed for you.
