Something worth waiting for.

****Since originally posting this, we are no longer together. We are still friends. I am blessed to have had this relationship and reading this reminds me of how lucky I really was. Who knows what the future holds? But this relationship proved to me that true gentlemen exist, and I learned a lot. Derek will always be a blessing in my life.****

 

I’m insanely happy these days.

God made me wait 21 years alone, but it was worth all the stress and lonely days to have what I have now.

I’m fully convinced I have the best man in the world by my side every day. I wouldn’t have it any other way with any one else. I’m very grateful.

The cool thing is that it’s just such a God thing that I have him. I wondered so lnog why I couldn’t find the right guy, but now knowing what I know, I see the bigger picture of why I had to wait. Let’s hit the obvious: He’s much older. It’s funny, I laugh about it, but come on, when I was 16 and whining about being alone, he was 22. Not exactly a possibility at that point. We both have gone through experiences in our lives that brought us to different places, and made us who we are now, to be right for each other.

I was at another church for a long time, that I LOVED with all my heart. And through some unfortunate circumstances, I ended up leaving.

Then I was on a hunt for somewhere new.. the last place on earth that I would have chosen to make my new church home… became my new church home. The reasons for it are in itself twisted and very much a God thing.

But going to that church, I got pulled into the music ministry (thanks Joshua) and made that my little niche. Made friends and just felt right. I do childrens minsitry as well, but thats irrelevant to how I got my man.. ha.

Through choir I met my friend Jessica, and my friend Jonathan. We and some others would go to Magic games together a lot and just chill watching at home sometimes.

Well, Jonathans older brother came back and joined choir, and wasn’t single. Well.. for a bit anyway. A few days after he became single again is when I actually got to know him, and it was actually through the fact that his brother was my friend, and he had known Jessica for about 10 years, that we got to hang out together.

I basically thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread, and after a while, he took a liking to me.

So fast forward to now.. we’re together and I couldn’t be happier about it. I waited for freaking ever for him, and it was worth it. He had to wait 6 years longer than I did.. but whatever I’m more impatient! He’s a true gentleman, a knight in shining armor for sure, and I am so lucky to call him mine. Derek is the best thing that’s happened to me and I am glad the wait for my prince is finally overrrr.

Prayers have been answered, in Gods timing. I’ve learned through this.. Gods plan is always better than what I can plan for myself, because I never saw this coming!
