Lets be honest , we all get a little drained from time to time. This thing we call life tends to do that. We can only take so much before our strength dwindles away like sand going through a glass. Whether we like to admit it or not as our pride can get in the way, we all need a hand or push now and then, a strength refill. We look everywhere to be rejuvenated and yet nothing works, theirs still this "hole" or empty feeling that we cant quite get passed. Why is this? Its because we always look in the wrong places. I'm sure we all remember playing the game hide and seek as kids right? I mean who didn't? Well this is the same kinda game, we look high and low to be inaugurated and refreshed and we think were getting close than we just find and empty spot again. We think that earthly things can satisfy us but we constantly forget that only one thing can truly satisfy us. We were made in the image of God, not in the image of the world. So when were feeling down and we try to use earthly things to lift us up of course it fails. God never needed earthly things to keep going through hard times. He kept his focus on the Father and he kept his eyes on the word and the promises, the same promises we all have to this day. You see when we go after Godly things instead of earthly things than we give God the chance to truly refresh us. Hes always reaching out , its just that sometimes we get so blindsided by the world that we forget to take his hand, we forget what he is offering which is true peace. He gives us peace of mind, peace of soul and gives our bodies rest when were in need, the bible is food for our soul. When we slack on our time with God our soul gets hungry its like depriving your body of food and theirs this constant empty feeling, than when we read the word and go after what God wants for our lives we get a sense of security and fullness. Earthly things only last a lifetime but godly things last an eternity. So i ask today will you go after the short joys of this life or the lasting eternity of joy after this life? We all need an extra push now and again and we all get hungry just make sure your not only feeding your body but also your soul :)
Today I really want to bring the focus back to what I truly believe is worth fighting against. Bullying is becoming more prominent all across our state and country. All we hear about however is the same speech of how bullying is bad and hardly any solutions to stop it. Today I'd like to take a different approach.. Do you have a success story of bullying? Have you been bullied? Or do you know someone who's been bullied and wants to share the story of how they rose above and overcame it? The biggest satisfaction is given to a bully when they see that they have inflicted pain or hardship.. lets work together and show bullies, show the world that we have come out strong. Lets take away the satisfaction given to bullies. If you or someone you know has a story that you would like featured on this blog as well as "My Journey to Miss Teen International" blog, simply email me @kaylagirl0501@gmail.com All stories will be posted anonymously for the sake of privacy.
