Directions

Do you ever wonder where you belong in the world? Whats your purpose or God's ultimate plan for your life? This is something that I consider a lot. We're all born with gifts in which God gives us to use to glorify him and to help bring others to come to know Jesus. I think that during our teen years however, trying to figure out where we belong, what school to go to, what to major in, how its all going to work out etc, well it can be quite overwhelming. We're being pulled so many different directions by so many different people and things that some days its like we don't even know which was is up anymore. If your like me then you probably pray a lot asking God to lead you in your life and as I like to put it, "take the reins." This is something we should all do regularly, by praying for God to be in control of our lives, it gives a sense of peace, reassurance. Not reassurance that life will be easy, but that we will end up where we're supposed to be and that we're walking the appropriate path needed to get there. When the world is pulling us a million different directions at a billion miles an hour, it can feel as if stopping for a moment is impossible. This being said, I encourage you to among the caos and the confusion, just stop. Pray and make sure while your looking everywhere constantly that your eyes are always fixed above on the Lord. Our relationship with God is the most important of all and just like any relationship, in order to keep it going strong it needs to be maintained. Take time with your heavenly father, let him guide you and I assure you even if the road isn't the most ideal conditions, you will end up exactly where your supposed to be.

Something I read in my devotions tonight, that I'm honestly not sure how to answer yet and I'd like you to consider and pray about as well for yourself is, "You have one line to describe your life, one sentence for your entire life. What do you want it to be?"

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...
