if i got what i wanted at 21, i’d be miserable today.

yesterday i posted a bit of my heart on instagram and twitter.
i said:
it was aimed for a girl who wrote me yesterday who is heart broken.
you might know the kind.  all you can think about is this person.
it’s hard to move on.  
it feels impossible. 
it feels like that for a while.  
I think the above age can be changed to whatever age where you may have prayed earnestly for something or someone.  only to have a door slammed in your face. or a back turned on you.
when i was 21, i found out my boyfriend had been cheating on me.
it stung.
it felt like daggers.
 it felt like my very breath had been knocked out of me.
 my best friend had the same experience within months of one another.
we sort of nursed each other back to normal.
it took a long time. 
we said lots of prayers for that future someone.
but when we were ready, and not on our time, but His … we both got someone  perfect for us.
and … we both have come to live our very own happily ever after. 
proving that Gods plan is better than the best thing you can think of.
don’t settle for good.  better yet, don’t settle at all.
trust that what He has in store for you is better. 
it makes me think of some of the things i’m hoping and praying for today.
and reminds me when doors are slammed, and opportunities knocked … 
whatever is ahead is better.

ps:  if you’ve experienced something similar, and have some words of wisdom… please share below.  i’m sure the person who emailed me would appreciate them.
