Do you think you'll ever find the one?
Sometimes I think that I won't. What about you guys?

Do you think we'ss find the one
I think most of all feel that way, if we will find that one. I do sometime, but we also have to trust God. I think when we think about it alot, is when the negative feelings passes our thoughts " if we are going to find that special person"
The best thing I learn to do, is not think about it, and that person will come along. God is never late..
Also, you might be ready, but the person God has for you may not be.

I was talking to my pastor once, and he gave me an amazing word of advice. There isn't necessarily "the one." Instead God gives us many people in our life that could be the one we should marry, yet he leaves the choice up to us.

Do I agree with it? I don't know, but its something to think about.

Someone once told me that "The One" is almost a myth.

Let me explain.

Last year I was 100% sure I had found "The One" and had you asked me then I would have been sure that I would no longer need to look. This wasn't some immature thing where a couple is so in love and ooo ahhh I will marry them. It was a very serious relationship and it was no small thing to say that I had believed she was the one.

When it ended, I was confused. One of my friends told me that we often search for "The One" but are there not SEVERAL people who could be that person? In other words, until you say 'I do", it might be a good idea to be wary of such things as saying "The One".

Sadly, people have walked out of their own wedding day and sometimes even their marriage.

My advice is to simply keep on going, but don't be too shy about it. When you meet a guy, here or otherwise, approach it as a friendship and get to know them but don't be afraid to know multiple guys (or girls in my case) if you can and evaluate it from there.

It may take some time, and who knows, maybe all you need is that ONE person as a possibility and you'll get him.

Again, my posts seem to go on forever, I suppose I have alot to say. Smile

I dont believe in the one either.

A few months ago I found someone I wanted to marry. She wanted to marry me, we were going to start making plans, pre-marriage counsuling the whole thing. Then Something happened, that she couldnt handle, and she decided she would rather be alone in her own misery than with someone to help her through it.
We both felt God brought us together, but with her free will and lack of faith abandoned everything we had.

That doesnt mean she and I werent supposed to be together, it just means she decided to bow out when her life got to hard.

Im super glad to see that more than a couple have a real understanding of "the one"! Its hard to comprehend sometimes because we have been taught through all of these disney fairytales and romance novels that everyone is supposed to have that one and we search for that! The truth is what if 100 years ago someone married their "one" but wasnt supposed to, so in turn they took someone elses "one" but since that "one" was taken, the person who they were supposed to be with married someone elses "one" it could go on and on. The point is we dont have a "one" until we are married, then that person becomes our "one"! Its the same with saying I have a "type", there might be a certain kind of person you are attracted to yea but when you marry someone they then become your type....forever!

This is why I have warned couples who are together that the "One" talk could lead to bigger heartbreak. I remind them that this is coming from personal experience and not just a casual warning.

they say they understand, but continue on with it. This is a couple that has been dating for 2 months or so. Now the only thing I hope is they don't break up. But, I've warned them, and they can heed or reject said warning.

It's a natural thing to think of your significant other like that, but it's best to remember things can change at any moment. Be careful.

I just want to add darling that because there may not be a "one" that doesn't mean that God hasn't willed you to be the woman you are for "someone"! One and someone are two completely different things!
keep your head up! Something else God has been speaking to me is that He isnt going to allow me to be with someone until I allow Christ to fulfill everything in me! Why would God give us someone to fill a void in us we aren't allowing Him to fill? Make sense?
