Putting God First

I know that I have written about a similar topic before but I feel this is one that should be mentioned more than once, as we often forget. Life gets busy and we often forget to take time and put God first. Today I found a verse that reminds us of this perfectly, Mathew 6:24 says. "No one can be a slave of two masters, since either he will hate one or love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other, you cannot be slaves of God and Money". This is saying that those of us dedicated to the Lord cannot be obsessed with money, aka greedy. We need to trust the Lord completely even with our finances and if we are greedy with money than we are not giving ourselves over completely to him. This can be difficult because it means giving up control but if we cant trust the King of the world with our lives, than who can we trust? We have to be willing to give up everything to follow him, then and only than are we truly putting him first. Today I want you to ask yourself,in what areas are you not putting God first in your life? What are some aspects of control that you haven't given to him but you need to? I challenge you to pray, pray that God helps you work through this loss of control and for him to pull you closer in your walk with him. Truly and fully surrender, then watch change begin to bloom in your life and watch yourself begin to spiritually prosper like never before.

Life Boat

  There have been several topics on my mind and heart the last week. So I pray right now that God present them here the way he wants them written and understood. One topic I'm sure I've touched on before is uncertainty, however I feel it is more relevant now than possibly ever. In this world the only certainty we havw perhaps is uncertainty, key words here; this world. As I've mulled this topic over in my mind a couple things have become clear: -uncertainty forces growth of faith. -community and relationships are of utmost importance.  -In an uncertain world and constantly uncertain times, we as humans need Jesus, our rock and savior more then ever before.  -Lastly (for now) we need to be building our boats to withstand rough waters every day even as the water is still so that when the inevitable tsunami hits, the storm of life won't wash us away. This analogy sums up most of the main points, together with those whom we are building relationships, we should be building...

Open Mic

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.

Special Trip

Hey guys/ and gals!  I hope you have all had a great start of fall, I just got back from Hawaii last night and let me just say I'm feeling truly blessed! We go to Hawaii a lot since we have a timeshare and as I've mentioned in the past, we attend church on the island. This trip however was unlike any other. I feel like God gave me so many opportunities and opened my mind to a lot of new things, there's so much I want to share with you right now that I hardly know where to start.  When your in the moment , you tend to brush off the little things. Then as you look back you realize those little things were what  mattered the most. I learned so much on this trip and especially about relationships. Both relationships with the people around me at the time and the relationships that were waiting for me to come home. Lets start with what I learned about the people around me on the trip why don't we :).  The day we flew in ,I got to go to my best friends 21st birthday! I fee...
