The waiting boat.

Once a friend told me that he had taken his best friend to fish. She had never done it before, so the first few hours sitting in the boat were not easy. In fact, he felt that at any moment, his friend would throw him out of the boat. The story is very funny, but I want to point out the advice he gave her when he saw her impatiently: "This is what it's about: waiting, enjoying the view, waiting and when you least expect it you catch a good fish''.

Life should look a lot like this: waiting, enjoying the view, waiting and when you least expect it you catch a good fish'' don't you think? There are so many good things that God has for us, but we don't like waiting. We want to ''throw out of the bout'' to those people that He puts us at our side who are advising us or warn us that we should take things calmly and in due time.

There is so much to write about "wait", but today I want to focus on those who are single and who are waiting for a special person.

Here, some practical tips:

• The first thing you must remove from your mind is the argument that "the wait is torture". Take advantage of the time of singleness to find yourself: to order your ideas, find the vision where you want to go, heal wounds... but more important to meet with God: the most indispensable relationship of your life.

• Talk to God. Talk a lot with Him. His approval and direction is extremely vital. Perhaps you have asked yourself this question "how am I going to know that this is the person?" Well, it is an answer that you can only find in His presence.

• We were wrong to think that we should only pray for what we want to see of that person; It's not like that! You must also pray for yourself. It is not just that they "add up" to you, but that "you add up" to the purpose of that person's life.

• Enjoy the view! —enjoy the journey in the boat!— achieve dreams, prepare yourself in all areas of your life (including your spiritual life), make healthy friendships, live each stage!...; Many miss this because of anxiety, because want everything ¡now! For something the Bible tells us that ''everything has its time''.

• Accept advice! —please don't throw away of the bout your parents, your spiritual leaders, or those friends who want good for your life!— The good thing comes and is more beautiful to receive it with company.

• You don't choose your parents, or your children, or your in-laws; of your family, you can only choose one person: your partner. Choose well!. Once a girl said to me ''Lii, I leave you these matters of love to God, He will know!'' And I said: ''It is a good idea, in the matter of love, He is expert; but in the end you are the one who makes a choice''.

Understand this: God created us with the power to make our own decisions. Therefore, He took so much time to advise his people, that even if they could choose what they wanted, they decided to choose well.

Deuteronomy 30:19, This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.''

Believe me, choosing a person with whom to share the rest of your days, is exactly the same as choosing between life and death, between blessing and cursing... because it marks you forever.

I bless you and I hug you!
