50ish Things You SHOULD Say to a Single Girl

It is so important to have a support system! Some may call it a tribe, which is such a great word for what my family is to me. My sissy (don't we look alike) has been my biggest cheerleader! I am telling you girls, if you don't have a person, go get one! Please don't read this and think that you can call Kendra... She is mine! 

This is dedicated to all the married friends out there, that hold their single sister up! The ones that wipe our tears, scope out potentials, and rock the wing-man position! We need you to help us see clearly, hold our hands, and to pray with us! So thank you! Kendra, you are a gem, I am so thankful Brendan married you! 

Read all of the awesome things she tells me on the daily :)

1.  You can be used by God in any stage of life. Don’t wait!
2. I don’t know exactly how you feel, and I’ll never say that I do. But I will empathize with you! -This is my favorite! She was married at 20, but she has walked this road with me!!
3. It’s okay to cry! And when you’re done I’ll help you get up and keep moving!
4.  Silent faith is still faith. We don’t have to talk about it but know I still believe with you!
5.  Don’t be afraid to be specific with God 
6.  Self-care is self-love 
7.  Don’t look good to impress, look good because you love yourself
8.  Be you! 100% authentic you 
9.  Misery loves company. Don’t let anyone’s negativity bring you down 
10.  Waiting on the Lord isn’t always easy. And there’s no said time frame for anyone. But Gods timing is perfect 
11.  It’s not “if” you get married, it’s “when” 
12.  It’s okay to splurge sometimes girl! Say YES to the shoes :) -Actually this may be LOL!
13.   Don’t wait to do some of the things you’ve always wanted to do. Pursue your passions and dreams
14. There’s no “set age” for marriage. Gods timing is perfect. 
15. You aren’t less of a person or half of a person because you’re single. A husband compliments you, he doesn’t complete you. 
16.  Spoil yourself :) 
17.  It’s okay to be sad. It’s okay to cry. But when you’re done, cling to someone who will help you believe again 
18.   Falling in love means you have to be vulnerable. No one wants to get hurt, but if you do, I will be here every step of the way 
19.  I’ve got your back 
20.  Special event? Send me pics of every planned outfit and hairstyle !! :) :) :) -This happens months before at times :)
21.  You have value and worth.
22.  It’s okay to feel ... find someone you trust who you can talk to without judgment. Someone who will just hold your hand and let you talk through your emotions 
23. Don’t walk the line of envy and comparing your life to the lives of others. It’s an impossible tightrope, and you won’t last long before you fall. One songwriter said, “It comes to steal and hide what is real, comparison kills”
24. Have fun, laugh, love, and live your life to the fullest! Find the beauty in every single day 
25. Make up your mind that whatever happens, you’re still going to live for God victoriously! Settle it in your heart with the Lord. 

I think sometimes we feel that when our friend gets married, we can no longer be friends. That is so not true! Kendra is my best friend. We go on adventures together, talk daily, and confide in one another. Just because we are in different stages, we can still be what the other needs. Find someone, find a tribe, and let them love you through the rough times and celebrate the good times.

XOXO,
Court

PS.. Yes, still single :)
