Living in The Moment & Accepting the Gift

Its incredible how one person's comment can get your mind thinking about a world of other things, a chain reaction per say. I've come to a realization and it's not one I particularly like, in the midst of our busy lives, stress, problems, and overall worlds, how often do we completely miss what's right in front of our faces in the current moment? I feel like we spend so much time worried about what's gone wrong in the past and how that could affect our future, or what may or may not happen in the future that we can completely miss the amazing moments right in the present. Our "present" time is called the "present" for a reason, because its a gift and we never know how many more "presents" we have left to open. Each day, each moment, they are gifts, not givens. We aren't required or promised another day, were only promised and lucky enough to have the day we were gifted right now. What we do with that gift is up to us, but what I encourage you to do, live in the moment. If you want something go for it, if you love someone tell them, and mean it with all your heart because you never know when it could be your last chance. A very inspiring person told me that people are going to do what their going to do, and we can't control that or them. What we can control is every act of our own stories, every line of how we speak in response, every action put forth. Lets make those words and actions count, lets make them not only turn our story into a fairytale, but make the page in someone else's story brighten. Lets live in the moment, you can't change the past, you can only learn from it and you can't predict the future, only build and prepare for it. Don't miss the little things life has to offer, or in the end you'll miss the things that life is worth living for.

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...

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.

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...
