I’m going to say something that might not be very popular: I do not believe in soulmates.

I do not think that Chris is my one true love or that we were in any way destined to be together. If Chris and I never got together I would not have missed out on my one chance at happiness. With God at the forefront of my life, with Him in control, I have all the joy that I need.

If I had let my own sinfulness get in the way and let this wonderful man slip through my fingers, God could have led me to someone else – or to no one else – and I still could have beauty and joy and happiness in my life.

I am unbelievably happy that Chris is the man that I married. But God would have done big things with me either way. I am thankful for the partner that I have in my husband and I believe that God is doing His work through our marriage, but that has so little to do with us and everything to do with Him.

So if you are wondering what God’s will for you is, maybe questioning what job you should take or what schools to apply for, understand that God will meet you where you are and He can and will do great things. Through all of the uncertainty that is life, that is definite.
