Is God at Work in My Brokenness?

 God is always working even when we can’t quite see it yet, then again maybe we can and we just aren’t paying close enough attention.

We feel broken and wonder, “where is God in this”? We forget that God is a healer, it is in our brokenness that he is able to mold, heal, and change us for his purpose. Often where we think God is least present and least active, is actually his prime location. If we were perfect then there would be no need for the cross... But that’s just it, we’re not perfect, none of us are. We are all broken and we are blessed enough to serve a God who wants to meet us in that place of brokenness, that place of pain, that place of defeat, and we serve a God who not only wants to meet us there but who wants to love us and ignite purpose within us. That’s pretty cool if you ask me. 

Being broken isn’t a sign of weakness, it is apart of our human nature and a necessary element in life to be truly changed and molded by God. 

Outside of my own brokenness, the most apparent way I see God work is in the little details. Have you ever just looked around? How intricately all the plants are placed, the timing of the sunrise and sunset, how the birds know just the right time to migrate, and the animals when to hibernate, how the plants filter oxygen for our survival, how good grows, or how babies are so meticulously formed in the womb? Everywhere we look God is working, yet sometimes we are so blinded by life we fail to even notice the utter beauty God has placed all around us. I heard a saying recently and it has held very true for me. “If the devil can’t get to you then he will make you busy.” Have you ever noticed how when life gets busy our focus gets taken off of God sometimes completely? Interesting right? Yep quite a clever tactic. I want to encourage you today no matter how busy life gets, take time to be still with the Lord. When you put him first he will help you accomplish everything else but don’t let the devils tactics take hold today. Instead hold tight to the Lord with all you have and make him your rock, your focus and your foundation.

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...
