"Wonder"

Tonight I went and saw the movie Wonder, if  you haven't seen this movie then it is a must see! Its all about a child born with face deformations so he looks different then others. Its about his journey to accepting and embracing these differences. As I watched this, I  got to thinking about how were all  different, we all have aspects of ourselves that set us apart from other people and aspects that make us who we are. I think that often times however we have a hard time embracing some of these differences, not only of ourselves but also of others. We see physical differences as ugly and we see mental differences as "ill' or 'slow" etc. Instead of embracing all these differences ,we tear people down and make them feel worthless, ashamed etc. We don't choose our differences, our creator does that and he created each and every one of us for a specific purpose. Instead of hiding from these differences we should embrace them and love one another. We should see physical deformities as miracles, not someone to be scared of or shun. Why cant we just be thankful that the person made it through all that? We should see mental differences as something to embrace as well, we all think and comprehend differently and that doesn't make anyone more or less special then one another. We should see differences like gems, if we were all the same then life would be pretty boring! Embrace what sets you apart and love what sets others apart. Here's a quote from the movie I would like you to consider today.
"Be kind for everyone is fighting a hard battle and if you really wanna see what people are, all you have to do is look."
 We need to start looking deeper then the surface and loving one anther not for what we look like or what we have but for who we truly are :)

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.

Be-You-Tiful

Hey Ladies<3 This post is specifically for all my ladies out there, we often hear the word "beautiful" in many ways. Its often used when we see someone we find prettier than ourselves in our eyes. We feel like we don't measure up because we aren't the "perfect or ideal" weight, or maybe we aren't using the super expensive makeup that someone else is. People in general are self conscious but we as woman get the brunt of it. We constantly try to be the "ideal" for someone else, its like a constant battle to be someones idea of beautiful. So much so that we forget to focus on our own idea of beautiful. We wear uncomfortable cloths, go on massive diets, and try to learn the impossible eye liner tutorials so that we feel like we measure up. We get so caught up in the worlds idea of beauty that we loose track of what we think is beautiful and what is spiritually beautiful. Some think that beauty comes from how much you spend on your appearance ,b...
