1-1-11: NEW YEAR!!!

Happy New Year everybody!!
I don't know about you, but 2010 was arguably the best year of my life, and I was sad to see it end... but, I was also very excited about what this new year will bring in. Friendships, travels, who knows what is in store.
As I was watching a New Year's special last night, I was thinking, I still hadn't made any resolutions. Every year before this I've had them ready back in the beginning of December, but for some reason, this time couldn't really think if anything except the obvious, spending more time in the Word, spending more time in prayer, that kind of stuff. It really took me awhile to come up with something different.
When I finally did, I realized that it is rather cheesy, and might even cause some to laugh, but I still kept it on my list. Here it is...
Prepare to make difference
I know, I know... a little cheesy right? Well, I don't care. I do, I want to change something, I want to make a difference in this world, even if it is just in my little corner.
What happened to the days when everyone said, "Merry CHRISTmas" or even more recently, "One nation, under GOD"?
I'm not sure how I plan on making this change, or even when, all I know is that I am preparing to make a difference.
Now, preparing isn't going to easier than making the difference, it will be hard. How do I plan on preparing? Well, so far I've come up with three steps.

1. Stay in constant communication with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
Communication goes two ways. I cannot just talk, I also have to listen. I've learned this past year that I can actually learn more if I just stop everything for a few moments, close my eyes and just listen. If I stay constant in this practice, I know that my Savior will show me exactly what he has in mind for me.
2. Stay in the Word, studying everything in it
The bible isn't just some big book. It is full of these amazing revelations, stories that are real, they really happened, prophesies that really did come true, and are still, it is the most important book ever to be read, bar none.
3. Listening and learning about what God has to say through people wiser than I
My pastor has an amazing gift for understanding scriptures and he definitely has a very close, personal, intimate relationship with our Savior. Our church recently started putting our sermons on itunes and every week I wait in anticipation for the more recent one to come out so I can listen to it again, each time I realize something else that I didn't on Sunday morning. I can learn so much by listening and learning from what God is speaking through him, it is amazing.

So there you go, my three, simple steps. I'll try and keep you all updated on how this is going through-out this year. :)

What about you? Did you make any new, New Year's resolutions?

12-23-10: Road trip!

Hello hello!!!
Well, I am SO sorry for not updating in nearly a month, but I've been staying quite busy... :)
But, the other week was probably one of my favorite activities that kept me busy, and no, it wasn't horseback riding(Though, that was really fun too!!!).
My grandpa has some hunting land about two hours north of where I live and we got to go up and see it.
They are building this AMAZING cabin up there right now, here are some pics of our trip!!

So... this is just a little silver of the view... isn't it just beautiful???!!! It felt like Narnia, lol I kept expecting to see Lucy, Peter, Susan and the Beavers to pop out from behind a tree or something. :)

This is the front of the cabin. It isn't finished yet, but it soon will be!!

On our way there, we stopped at a restaurant and I was OBSESSED with these old chairs!!! I just had to take a pic of them, this older couple sitting at the next table over were a little confused by me I think... lol

My road trip lifesavers!!!! Coffee, DP and my ipod full of amazing tunes that my fam doesn't exactly want to listen to over, and over, and over, and over again... lol :) (Oh, and then of course my polka dotted pillow!! Though, I can't sleep in the car, so it didn't help that much :-/)

In the target parking lot, bathroom stop for my bros. Like my purple hat?????!! lol, and then of course my temporary "love" tattoo on my wrist there, to support TWLOHA(To Write Love On Her Arms)... even though that was well over a month ago, I keep writing it back on my wrist, :) lol :)

Well, I hope y'all have an AMAZING Christmas!!!! Always remember the reason for the season though, Jesus Christ came down as a little, helpless baby just so he could save us.

Merry CHRISTmas!!!!!!!!

11-30-10: This Will Keep Us All Thinking...

Hey, :)
Okay, this video that I am about to show you I'm sure that many of you have seen before. It is pretty popular, but everytime I watch it, it still really does just what the title says, it keeps me thinking.
So, take five minutes and thirty seconds to just sit and watch this video, or at least the first three minutes and twenty seconds. Stop and think... what would you have chosen? What will you choose?




Leave me a comment if you want if you have your own thoughts on this video :)

Have a great rest of your day,
Kayla

11-13-10: SNOW!!!!!

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!!!!!!!!!
Yes, it did snow last night! Imagine my excitment when I woke up to find the ground covered with snow and huge flakes falling from the sky! (I was very excited! lol)
I ran downstairs and raced to find my snow clothes and skis.(Okay... confession time... I sent my bro up into the attic to get my boots and skis... it is scary up there!!)
I went sledding with my little sis and had a snowball fight with my bros and one of their friends. I'd forgotton how much fun they were. :D :D
Here are some pictures of our first snow of the year!!(I think we got between 6 and 8 inches)


Yes... it is just barely 32 outside so our snow is very wet... :(

BUT! The wet snow was great for making a snowman!! :D

Isn't it pretty?? :)

Well, I should go back outside and enjoy the wonderful snow, have a great day!! Here is a song to leave you with... :)
