Easter

 As I've been reflecting upon this amazing day in history, the resurrection of Jesus many thoughts have come to mind. On this day victory was bestowed upon God, he conquered death, he trampled sin, and he payed the price none of us could ever atone for. In our world today it's easy to see God as distant, it's easy to think he's even forgotten about us at some points, yet if you truly take a look around you'll see the many areas God is still working over 2000 years later. On good Friday Morgan Wallen released the song, "Don't Think Jesus", if you haven't heard it yet it's worth a listen. The song is basically a country gospel song and it has managed to reach millions in today's generation that perhaps have never heard gospel music before. Some may say it's coincidental it was released on good Friday. I don't think there's coincidences, rather what I know is that God has a plan and his plan will be completed to perfection. Nothing in this world can put a halt to God's plan, nothing in this world can pause or prohibit the work he is doing daily. Easter is the celebration of the future and not just hope but flat out assurance we have in Jesus Christ. For me personally today is a beautiful reminder that though we deserve nothing, we deserve death as rightful punishment for sin, God says no, I love you enough to send my own son to pay the price for you, not because you deserve it, not because you will ever earn it, but because my love for you is greater then sin, it's greater then death, and I created you for a divine purpose. If your doubting your purpose or God's plan for your life let today be a reminder that God is victorious and your breathing today because he has a reason for you to be here, he loves you and though we could never earn his love he gives it graciously. Go forth in faith and trust in the one who holds it all.

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...
