Life Stages

Through our lifetimes we will enter many stages of development, growth prosperity and at time downfall. Some stages will make us feel like were on top of the world and others may make us question if we have the strength to keep going. At other times in our lives we are faced with choices that will severely shape our futures and lives as we know them. These times are often met with fear and questions, trust me I understand that. I am at the point in my life where I need to make decisions, decisions about college, how I want to live my life, where I want to go and where I want to end up. Despite always having a pretty clear understanding of what I want for my life, now that it's here, up until this point it has been pretty overwhelming and honestly terrifying. It is now however that I have come to the conclusion that the same fear I let envelope my mind can be directly turned into excitement. The excitement factor is this, yes I have to make what seems like a million life impacting decisions but I have the freedom to make those decisions and therefore through confidence in myself and confidence in what I have known all along which is the path I strongly feel God wants me to take, in that confidence I receive the freedom to be excited. God calls us not to worry but to trust in him and yet I have found that he often uses the most worry-some situations to remind us of his constant presence in our lives. He uses those climax points in our stories to open our eyes to his path for us and in that despite all the craziness of this life and all the struggles and decision we may be met with, they all become minute, because this life has no comparison to what is to come. Someone very wise said that those who have a strong relationship with God are constantly in trouble because to follow God we go against this world. Today I want to encourage you that whatever decisions you need to make, God is with you and I pray he gives you the same clarity he has so gracefully blessed me with. Let your worries become minute and let your eyes become open to the true and immense beauty that every struggle, and every trial has to offer. Go into this new weak with confidence and don't be afraid to allow yourself to feel joy, we live in a world where feelings especially those of positive conflict aren't normal, dare this week to be constantly in trouble. This life will give you many stages but you get to write the chapters word by word and we just so happen to have the most wonderful editor in the universe. Go get em this week babes!

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...
