True Advice


I think the best advice I could give anyone at this point in my life right now, from my best friend to a complete stranger is well simply put, your life is not yours. Your life is like a gift, on loan to you for as many years as you occupy this earth. Your life has been entrusted to you by God and yes, he has given you free will, but that doesn't mean you get to skip out on the rules and as much control you think you may have today or tomorrow or five years from now is truly nonexistent. Our lives were gifted and entrusted to us by the king of kings so that we may be a living testimony of his love until he returns and takes back his kingdom. We are all ambassadors for God and with that comes great responsibility, trial, maybe turmoil, but also relief. Often times not being in control seems scary, but when you realize that the one in control not only has your best interest at heart, but also that of the entire universe, well it's quite comforting. It has taken me personally some time to realize that I not only can't control everything, but I don't want to. When I give things over to God and bring my focus back to him and what he wants for my life, everything changes, it's no longer about me because it never was and it’s no longer about the circumstances at hand because they are gradual in comparison to the ultimate plan God has. When you invite him into your life, when you completely surrender control, yes you may feel fear but trust me that fades, and in return of that fear, you receive utter joy, peace and even reassurance that in the darkest waters, everything will be okay. Live your life fearlessly free of control, give it to God, let him guide your life and when you do, you will see things come together in your life and maybe even the lives around you that was previously unexpected. Live with a knowledge that this life is not yours, serve an audience of one and your life will truly be of adequate service. Your life is not yours, and that is the greatest gift we have all ever been given, we get to live in service to the king of kings in this life as preparation for the next and the blessings and peace that accompany that, the security knowing you are loved and guided by a God who died for you, who died for those you love and who not only came back, but who is coming again... That is beyond worth living for, that is worth striving every moment to serve and love others the way Jesus did and to do our best to be a true testimony of the legacy our king has so mercifully allowed us to be a part of.

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...
