Love in Christ

                                                                               
 
 
Ever wondered why your relationships don't last? Or why is it that you can't find the right person?
Have you ever considered just putting your life in God's hands and allow Him to guide you towards that person?
 
Many of us girls always dream of our prince charming coming to our lives and falling in love with that person.  I guess it sort of works that way! Since we are God's princesses and He does have a prince charming for us.  As I mentioned on my first blog post, I had my first boyfriend at 19.  My first love I could say.  But even though I was crazy about the guy, it only lasted 6 months.  I thought it was my fault because I wouldn't give him everything that he wanted.  There was a moment in my life that I didn't want to know about guys!  About two years later, I met another guy who turned out to be sort of violent.  Again, not the correct person for me.  I asked myself, "am I ever going to find that guy that just sweeps me away?"
 
As time continued it's course, I thought I had met the right guy for me.  A guy who I thought was perfect in every way! But as our relationship continued to get "serious" I noticed he started getting weird.  He wanted to know everywhere I went, who I was with, why I wasn't answering his messages.  When I decided to go to the youth retreat, he got mad at me and told me that he was I guess thinking of committing suicide because he wasn't going to hear from me during the weekend.  But even though he said that, I still went to the youth retreat.  And he's still alive just in case you were wondering.  A year later after we started dating, we split! the things that I thought we had in common, were simply gone. 
 
Now, can you see what these three failed relationships had in common? They were all of just two people.  You might be thinking, what is this girl talking about?! Indeed it was missing the most important person.  God!
 
But even though I had cried and thought I was going to end up alone for the rest of my life, God had a complete different plan for me.  After the youth retreat, I started going to prayer group! But I only thought it was once a month.  But anyway! I walk in, and the first person I saw was the keyboardist of the choir.  I wasn't sure why he had caught my attention.  After that, I didn't see him anymore since I left to Mexico on vacation.  When I came back, I started going to group again!  and I remember that we were having crecimientos at group and I didn't know where to find my book.  Until I asked my now friend Josue where I could find a book.  After group, I went up to him to thank him for helping me out.  As I was talking to him, another guy came up to us to say hi! The keyboardist!!! That day he stopped being the keyboardist and became Juan Cruz. 
 
We became good friends and as time passed, I noticed I was getting feelings for this guy.  I didn't want to mess up again, so this time I actually put it in prayer.  I remember asking God that if this guy was for me, to give me a sign and if he wasn't, to please help me see him as only a friend.  So what happened? I started having dreams that I was dating this guy and that we were serving together at church.  When I woke up, I was like ok God! now for real, please give me a sign.  For the next three nights, I kept having similar dreams.  That's when I realized that God was telling me that he was the guy for me.  The correct one!  Eventually we both found out we had a thing for each other and on January 24, 2014 we started officially dating.  Funny thing is, that January 24th is the day of St. Francis de Sales! the Saint from our church!
 
We've had our ups and downs, but I know for a fact that God is guiding us to something beautiful.  I can just feel it in my heart that he could be the person that God has created for me.  Finally our relationship wasn't of two but of three! Because without God, I know that we wouldn't be together.  Something that I truly love of our relationship is that we get to serve God together in the same ministries.  Attend mass together, visit Jesus in the sacrament of the Eucharist, we pray for one another, and just support each other as much as we can.  Always having our number one first, Jesus Christ!  Now I understand why I had to cry and go through those failed relationships.  Because God had something better for me. 
 
 
 
So if you're still looking for the correct person for you, don't worry! God already has that person for you.  All you have to do is trust Him and remember....
 
El amor es paciente y muestra comprension.  El amor no tiene celos, no aparenta ni se infla.  No actua con bajeza ni busca su propio interes, no se deja llevar por la ira y olvida lo malo.  No se alegra de lo injusto si no que se goza en la verdad.  Perdura a pesar de todo, lo cree todo, lo espera todo, y lo soporta todo.  1-Corintios 13:4-7
