The Means to a Beginning...

Hi, Hello, Howdy Ya'll.

My name is Kelser (yes I know, "what a unique name, you've never heard that before"), and I am a single, female living in the great city of Houston, in the best state there is TEXAS. I am very proud to be born in this state and I was brought up (thanks to the Texan indoctrination of 4th grade and 7th grade Texas History) to be a proud flag waving American. I have never been married, and I have no children. I have grown up in the church as a born again Christian (easy to do when you grow in the south...especially when you are still in school). I believe that Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, that he died on the cross and rose again on the third day. Yes I love the Lord. But, that is not what I wanted to write about.

What I want to let people know about is the single Christian female in the late 20's early 30's. She is active in church, volunteer activities, arts groups, and the  corporate world. This is the female that gets looked at by people of the church as, there must be something wrong because she has yet to be married and have children. We as females are indoctrinated to want to have a family (which I really, really want someday), and if we don't, figure that something is wrong with me. But is it really? As a college graduate from a state school (Go LU cardinals!!) I have made many friends of all creeds, cultures, religious affiliations, sexual orientations, and just plane nutty people; and through it all I have stayed steadfast in my beliefs and convictions as a Christian. So why is it I have yet to find a suitable husband and started a family?

Who knows, but this is what I wanted to talk about. As a single Christian female living in a secular world I want to know, how does this work? From singles groups to social activities, from dating and sex before marriage to how in the world do I fix this creaking fan. I want people to know that there are single born again Christian females in the corporate world  that are not teachers (I found that most the single women at my church were teachers it was weird). But we want to be able to cook a great meal for one, learn better social etiquette, all while maintaining a strong relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. And yes, we will stumble and we are struggling because we scream out the phrase "Hey, What about Me!!! God I'm still Here!
