Beauty

 What is beauty really? Some say it's a matter of physic while for others it is a matter of the heart. I think it is neither, beauty is a matter of the mind; for a beautiful mind cultivates beautiful works. A beautiful mind thinks of plans to cultivate hope, peace, and provisions for others.  The mind is a diverse place, things flood the mind in a fight for dominance every day of our lives. What has occurred to me however is that true beauty isn't just a matter of the mind but a matter of who the mind has submitted to. You see while things flood your mind that may seem to have no correlation, at the end of the day your mind has a master and believe it or not it's not you. Whatever you allow to influence your mind in your daily life whether it be people, books, music etc. It will take hold and whatever wins the war of influence, whatever captivates your mind the greatest will become the master of your mind. Today I ask you who is the master of your mind? If you don't like the answer I would suggest finding some different influences. The mind is a fragile place, it is easy for manipulation to occur when the gates are left open per say. We always hear about guarding our hearts but I think we are at the day in age it's long past time we begin guarding our minds.

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...
