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.

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...
