ABOUT MY BLOG:
In a nutshell, "The Unpopular Girl in Womanhood" consists of the random thoughts, observations and musings of a single 30-something woman working in Washington, D.C. while still trying to figure out life, love, dating, Christianity and her future.
WHY I BLOG:
Although I'm not new to blogging, I just started this most recent blog in January of this year. I think my primary motivations were to 1.) stave off boredom, 2.) to amuse myself (since I crack myself up) and 3.) to share my heart since, on some level, I know that most people will be able to relate.

My parents' home is a bit smaller than I remember. |
MY ITTY-BITTY BIO:
Because of a real estate venture gone bad, I had to move back in with my parents... which, at nearly 33 years of age, has proven a bit awkward. Outside of my parents' house and in the workplace, I am considered an adult. However, back at home, I am just mommy and daddy's little girl. Currently, I am working feverishly to pay off debt and applying for jobs several states away in order to escape their frequent reminders for me to go to bed early and floss my teeth, in addition to their asking me if I need lunch money (even though I make more than their combined social security checks).
I still have acne, which began at age 11.
I am still not very good at making friends.
And after a 7-year break from dating, I'm still not sure if I want to be bothered with men.

"Hey, single lady, isn't it time for you to get married?" |
THOUGHTS ON LIFE:
Society dictates only one path to all of humanity and according to it a person should graduate from college at a set age, leave their parents' home at a set age, get married at a set age and start having children at set age. If a person does not follow these predetermined "guidelines," they are considered a failure or a late bloomer at best. In God's economy, however, every life path is different and uniquely crafted to foster spiritual development and to optimize one's impact for His Kingdom.
Success is often defined as having a good job, a spouse, kids and prime real estate. But in the Word of God, "success" equals faith in the Lord and walking in obedience. As Ecclesiastes 12:13 says, "Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man." One could have all the trappings of what the world considers to be the "good life" and still be seen as a failure in the eyes of God. After all, "what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?" (Mark 8:36)

As a reminder, ALL women need a man. It just makes the effort a bit easier, although we do not fit in drawers or your purse. :)
Take a good look around, just because we're fellow bloggers doesn't mean we aren't friends...
Keep smiling, it becomes you!

I was having a seriously crappy day yesterday and posted about it. Then suddenly I found out that I was featured!! It was kinda like a guest coming over when you're still wearing a bathrobe, beauty mask and curlers :) Totally unprepared. Oh well, at least people get to see the real me... ups AND downs. It ain't all roses, but thanks for taking the time to stop by!
Congrats on the feature!
