Dios no te mostrará a tu persona hasta que sepa que estás preparado para conocerle
A veces en la vida pensamos que lo sabemos todo. Creemos que sabemos exactamente cuándo nos tienen que pasar las cosas y cuándo. Pero la vida no funciona así.
As much as you’d like it (as would I), you’re not in control of your destiny. God is. And sometimes all you can do is decide to let things happen the way they are supposed to and pray it all works out.
Recuerdo haber conocido a este chico perfecto hace unos años. Fue un momento extraño para mí, ya que estaba luchando con algunas cosas, pero recuerdo claramente el momento en que lo conocí y sentí esa vibración instantánea.
¿Sabes la que te deja boquiabierto y te produce un cosquilleo en la piel?
That’s the one. And this guy was something special. He knew just what to say and how to treat me, and I felt like this was the one for me, no doubt about it.
Aunque en aquel momento tenía problemas (una leve adicción al alcohol y una situación de vida poco ideal), decidí que estaba preparado para la vida.
Sentí que había conocido al hombre con el que debía pasar toda mi vida, a pesar de las evidentes señales de alarma (la mayoría por mi parte).
See, I was in no place for a stable, healthy, love story. I wasn’t equipped to deal with that all-encompassing love that takes you for a spin and makes you want to commit for life.
Yo era un lío caliente. Estaba tan mal que hasta la idea de cuidar y alimentar una relación me daba vértigo, pero me engañé a mí misma pensando que estaba preparada para ello.
I went against myself and ignored all of his pleas to get help. I just thought I knew best. In my head – I was fine.
Who doesn’t drink every now and then? So what if I couldn’t find a permanent place to live? Isn’t that the way it’s supposed to be when you’re young?

But it wasn’t, and it took me a few years to come to terms with it. I thought I knew what I was doing. I thought I could flip a switch inside of me just like that and make everything okay… but I couldn’t.
Huelga decir que mi relación se desmoronó antes de que pudiera florecer. Nunca tuvimos una oportunidad. Ojalá me hubiera dado cuenta antes.
Tengo que decir que fue una píldora difícil de tragar, pero tenía que pasar para que yo adquiriera esta perspectiva tan necesaria.
Now I know that God is the only one who knows what I need. And He won’t show it to me until He knows that I am ready. And that’s okay.
Porque, sinceramente, ¿qué sabemos realmente de la vida y del amor?
You learn as you go. You make your mistakes, and only after you’ve learned from those mistakes does God show you the one you’re destinado a ser con.
I know it might seem a bit harsh, but that’s the truth. I’ve stopped thinking I know everything. I’ve stopped believing that I know what’s best. I don’t, and it feels so good to be able to say that.
It’s all in God’s hands. And trust me – He knows what He’s doing.
At times it might feel like you’re lost. And in those times, you need to keep your faith that this is the path you need to walk in order to make your mistake and learn a valuable lesson from it.
Cuando dejes de ver tus errores como algo malo y empieces a tratarlos como experiencias de aprendizaje, las cosas empezarán a irte mejor. A mí me pasó.
Dios siempre está allí para ti. You may not always see and hear Him, but He’s there, and He hears you.
And you know what? Just because it may seem that your life is a constant storm of shitty things, it doesn’t mean that He doesn’t have something magnificent planned for you!
Deja que mi situación te inspire para mantener el ánimo alto y la fe en Dios intacta.

Just a few short years back, I was a mess. I didn’t have a place to live. I couldn’t keep a friend to save my life, and I drowned my misery in booze.
And do you know where I’m now? I am in the best headspace I have ever been. I let God take control, and things slowly started looking up.
Once I realized I couldn’t control what would happen to me and that forcing things when they’re not supposed to be is only going to backfire, I gained this beautiful perspective that changed my life.
Ahora soy una mujer enamorada. Y es pacífico, tranquilizador y todo tipo de derecho. ¿Y quieres saber por qué? Porque primero cuidé de mí misma.
Me di prioridad a mí misma. Y un día, las piezas del rompecabezas empezaron a encajar, y mi vida se estaba convirtiendo en algo de lo que por fin me sentía orgullosa.
Dios me mostró al hombre con el que debía estar sólo cuando estuve realmente preparada para verlo. Y ni un minuto antes.
A few years ago, it wouldn’t have worked out. But today, it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and I can proudly and selflessly give it my all.
Learn to let go. Trust God and His plan. Just because today you’re struggling doesn’t mean tomorrow won’t get better! He’ll make sure it does, and I am your living proof!
