Why Am I Still Single? Part 1

You've asked yourself a dozen times... why am I still single? I mean really there are over 7 BILLION people in the world, and you can't catch a break. I'll you why, because no one can handle all that awesomeness! 

That had to make you smile! =) Here's a couple things I learned about being single.

1. It stinks!
2. You can roam as you please, no questions asked! That's kinda cool!
3. People think you have no life.
4. You get thrown into the single life loser category.
5. People assume you're ready to jump off a cliff, don't!
6. You never have to fight over the last bite of YOUR sandwich! Not cool! 
7. You're more spiritual, having all those dates with Jesus, maybe! 
8. You are fat and ugly, hence why you're not in a relationship.
9. Still single because you won't let grandma hook you up with her bingo directors son.
10. God doesn't love you.. so He is like pshhh NOBODY FOR YOU!
11. You're a sloppy eater and no one can bare to watch food drip off that chin!
12. You're filthy rich because your still single and still a loser doing nothing on a Friday night!

Okay that is all a lie! Well maybe # 2 & #6 are true! Let me tell you some real facts about being single!

1. God knows where you are!
2. God hasn't forgotten you!
3. God's ways are perfect and so is His timing
4. It's not easy... but you're gonna survive!
5. You are awesome!
6. Married people aren't cooler.
7. God has someone, its His master plan!
8. You aren't ready yet, yes I know your 65 and still waiting! ;)
9. The ONE you are waiting for isn't ready. HURRY UP FOOL!
10. You think you're too awesome! Have a little humble pie!
11. Their current spouse hasn't died yet... JK!!! 
I'm stopping there... Okay you are single! It does get lonely and boring and sometimes you just wanna straight slap couples for looking happy. THAT'S OKAY!!! Don't really do that... cops, jail time, sleeping with one eye open... NOT GOOD! Ask yourself these questions;
1. Does God love me?  YES HE DO-- Gotta get ghetto with you!
2. Is He in control? Does a one legged duck swim in circles? OF COURSE!
3. Are you in His will?
4. Are you walking with Him daily?

If the answer is yes, then wait for Him! He wants you happy and He knows how awesome marriage is because he designed it. Maybe God wants to deal with some past burdens you been carrying around? Maybe they are too big to bring into a relationship.... It could be a lot of things. It doesn't mean you aren't a good catch! It doesn't mean you aren't special. You are... 
My life verse is Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the Lord and He will gives thee the desires of thine heart. Does that mean God is just gonna give you whatever you want? No... silly but I believe God is saying here ,hey fall in love with Me! Worry about pleasing Me and I will full fill the longings of your heart! I have claimed that verse many times, and God has always come through! We can't go moping around telling God He is never gonna do something...Maybe He says Okay.. Fine. I'll take back the new car too! Hahah. 

Confessions of a Shopaholic =)

I meet few women that don't like to shop, and I when I do I want to bust out the the thermometer, and first aid kit because something has to be wrong!! You poor thing! I love to shop! I live to shop! Anyone that knows me knows that I put it down in the stores. =) 
As of late, I stumbled across a few websites that seriously have become quite the addiction, and I wanted to share because they really have fun stuff for a great price. The first one is  http://jane.com/. They take a little longer to ship than the next two I am going to introduce you to but still a great little online boutique. The way it works is everyday new things are loaded onto the site but they are only on there for about 2 days! If you want it, don't hestitate BUY! It will be gone! 

The next site I found is called Sassy Steals http://www.sassysteals.com/

They load a few new things a day and it's scattered throughout the page so you may check it out and it looks like all the same stuff but IT'S NOT! Keeeeep scrolling! =) They have great customer service and even send you some coupon codes after you sign up for email and when you purchase something. It's really great! 

Finally! The last online boutique I found is called Simple Addictions http://simpleaddiction.com/ and let me tell you pal it is a serious addiction. This site usually updates one or two things every so many days. I have found that all 3 sites are usually the same on shipping and pricing. Maybe your a dude and you're thinking this blog is obviously not for me... Christmas is coming buddy and you could buy your special someone a little something something!! And if she doesn't exist, mom would love a new pair of earrings! Follow both veryjane and sassy steals on instragram! They always post new deals! 

Frosting On My Cupcake

You see it from the across the room, just staring at ya! You can't help the small amount of drool dripping off your bottom lip. Are those cupcakes I see? Ohhh baby!! You get a little closer and realize it's not just cupcakes but cookies, brownies, and even CHEESECAKE!!!! Call for back up, CAUSE I'M GOIN IN! 

Who doesn't love sweets? I mean I am sure they're some insane people out there who don't but like I said INSANE! =) 

I started baking little treats for my husbands co-workers, and I always text him about 5 minutes after I know he has gotten to work. "Did anyone eat them?" "Did anyone say they liked them?" "Were they happy?" I go nuts with it! I wanted to be a blessing to them but I truly believe I am the one getting blessed. I just get so happy! I mean if I showed up at work one day and someone brought in some delicious baked goods I would LOVE it! Now I would feel like a fat slob but I would still love it! So here's my challenge, not that you asked for one! This week I think it would be cool if you baked something for someone randomly. Maybe someone you don't even know! And maybe you're saying aloud, Kate I can't bake or Kate I aint got no sugar in the house!lol  That's cool! Go buy one! Throw it in a bag and write 'Have an awesome day' on it! Lets be DAY MAKERS! Everyday someone is struggling with something, why not just go ahead and make their day, heck eat some yourself and make your own day! ;)

The beginning and the end

I didn't really plan for my first official blog to be about death but here it goes! I got a phone call yesterday that my dear friend Telly had been shot and killed. The news hit me like a sharp machete slicing my heart to pieces. Death is just something so hard to grasp. It is hard for me to wrap my brain around it. The thought of never seeing or hearing from him again brought instant tears to my eyes. I know it's life but its definitely not an easy part of it. Telly was such a happy person, always offering a infectious smile and I will miss him forever. Many friends and family have reached out on his Facebook page to say incredible things about what type of person he was. What will people say about you or I when we die? Will they miss us? It has definitelty challenged me to love more people as he has. It has reminded me that death can call at anytime, and the people that mean most to me should know I love them. We casually mention to friends in passing about hanging out and never do. What if that person you are thinking about right now died suddenly? Send a text, mail a card, meet for coffee while you can! Telly Bell <3 10.22.2013 I will never forget you friend! 

I did

Hey, looks who's blogging now!

Welcome to my blog! My name is Kate, and it's quite nice to meet you! I have not blogged too much before, but have been encouraged to start again. So here I am! I was going to say that I am no one special and then I remembered I am special! =) I am a follower of Jesus! A lot of my posts may be about God and others have nothing to do with Christianity. I am a very random person so my blogs could be about anything under the sun! Please give me a little grace on the grammar! I love writing, but can't be held back by run on's and contractions!! I do promise to always use the right hear and here. You here what I'm saying? ;P

I hope to say something that makes someone's day or at least get ya thinkin!

<3 Kate
