Music Focus

You know that moment when you hear a certain song and it just speaks to you? I have a lot of those moments haha. There's two songs in particular that have really gotten my attention lately. "Flashlight" by Hunter Hays and "Somebody To Thank" by Logan Mize. Hunter is a country artist but this particular song is very faith based when you stop and listen to the lyrics. He talks about how were all sinners and how God seems to find us in our darkest places. He mentions little miracles that most might not even consider "miracles", he reminds us that although we are not worthy of Gods grace , we are still loved by God. God never abandons us! "Who am I of dust and water, touched by the divine." Just one lyrics from Hunter's song where he demonstrates God giving us grace even though we have done nothing to deserve it. This song has really just touched me and reminded me that Gods miracles do show up in the simplest ways like "A sunrise from a lonely night" or "A smile in a strangers eyes." These simple things that I think we often take for granted and I love the reminders that this song gives, while giving praise back to the Lord.
       The second song " Somebody To Thank" by Logan Mize is another song I love at the moment, especially as we are nearing thanksgiving time :)). In this song he reminds us that we all have somebody to thank, no matter who we are. He mentions thanking his parents for 18 years of gassing up his truck, his friends, he mentions the love of his life who he thanks every day. The lyrics are so great because its true, no matter who you are, someone at some point in your life has done something for you to be thankful for. Aside from people he mentions thanking the Lord for every day he's lived and every day he will live. This is another thing I think we take for granted, who remembers to thank God for just getting to wake up in the morning?? That's truly a blessing right there, and how often do we thank the people in our lives and remind them how much we care about them, and how truly thankful we are. We need to be a people of the moment, if we want to tell a loved one something then we need to say it. Don't wait until tomorrow because tomorrow is never a grantee. If were lucky enough to get that "tomorrow", then thank the Lord because its all thanks to him that we live another day!

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...
