I am a child of God

" I'm a child of God, yes I am". This line of a song I'm sure many have heard is not just a song lyric, it is a testimony of life, of new life. It is the testimony of my life. It isn't a title, it's a lifestyle. It isn't the hope my life will be easy and perfect. It is the understanding that it will be messy and complicated paired with the understanding that my God will get me through it. It is the understanding that he gives and takes away, that things are on his time table not mine. The understanding that he knew me and shaped me to live out his plan for my life that he perfectly crafted specifically for me ( how incredible is that??) The understanding that I am not in control and that he is sovereign. The learning of patience in waiting for his answer to an anxious prayer or plea.  It is a commitment that I will live for the Lord despite earthly temptation. It is a commitment to follow the path he has lit for me even when it doesn't make sense. It is a relationship that never changes ,only grows, a relationship with a faithful trust and an everlasting love. A relationship that is secure with a sure knowledge that God always has my best interest at heart and I simply need to listen and obey. I am a child of God, yes I am!

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.

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...

Positive Outlook

Heya! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've had a pretty hectic week at horse fair but I'm back now! The topic I would like to focus on today is "positive outlook" , this can be having a positive outlook on anything and any situation which is why I love it. Broad topics become more interesting to talk about as they can branch off so easily. You can have a positive outlook on life in general or specific areas, maybe your always positive and optimistic in one area but another needs some work. When we realize where we need to work in our lives to improve ourselves than we can continue to grow. Its our flaws and mistakes that give us room to grow. Now positive outlook can be pretty difficult, I mean we're human so who naturally wants to be positive about a tough situation? Yeah basically no one and for those few of you that do I commend you because that truly is a great trait. For those of us who are not super humans , I would like to really stress the need to...
