Civil War!

So today my marching band played a flag football game against the marching band of a rival college. And of course, we won! We kicked their butts, 30-7. It was so much fun! I got to play defense and I blitzed the quarterback once. The only problem was that once we started to win, so like five minutes in, they started playing dirty and tackling. We also didn't have referees because they didn't show up. But it was fun, and we won. No complaints. Life is good, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, today is my boyfriends birthday, and I'm happy. God Bless!

Realization

So I had a realization today. I am cursing way too much. Now don't get me wrong I'm not anywhere near a sailor yet but still, I don't like it. I prided myself that I really didn't curse in high school. Sure the occassional word would slip out when something really frustrated me or something but it wasn't a habit. Then came college. And I don't know what happened. I am letting curse words slip in all over my vocabulary. One little thing happens and I say "d***". Or something weird will happen and I will say, "what the "h***". I hate it! So from this point on I am changing my ways. The big motivation for this is not so much my own personal hatred of it but rather, that God hates it and I am letting him down. Far from what I want to do in my life, especially since I'm trying to draw closer to him. Well thats all I have to say today. But wish me luck in my football game tomorrow night!

Lesson Learned

So I have an essay due Wednesday and while I have tried to work on it before, today is the first day I am actually making serious headway. But so far it is going pretty well. I feel decent about it. But I had to do what was really hard for me to do in order to get any work done. I had to let go and put it all on God. I know, I know, seems pretty easy right? Not for me! I have a hard time letting go of my control on my life. I almost feel that my problems are to small for God to have to worry about. But God wants to take care of all our problems for us and He wants us to come to him with them. But it's hard for me. It's gotten better recently (thank you Tom) and hopefully it will continue to get better. Well, lesson learned about the essay I guess. Maybe next time I will go to God in the beginning. Wish me luck and remember God wants to help you with your problems so use him.

Hi!

Hey! My name is Kayla and I'm really excited to start a blog. I first thought about starting a blog when I was reading the blogs of some friends of mine who were ministering in the Phillipines, it really inspired me to know that people all over the world could see what they were doing for God and maybe they could touch somebody through their blogs. But really made me want to start mine was that I have had a really hard time in my life right now. I recently moved to an extremely liberal town to go to college. I am a conservative christian so obviously there has been some stress there. I want to blog about the challenges to my faith I am facing every day, how I am dealing with them, and how God is moving in me, blessing me and using me to bless others around me. I hope that maybe I can bless someone else through my blog. So this will just be the ups and downs of my life and my struggles in my faith, because even though I have an insane passion for God, I am not anywhere near how close to Him I would like to be or where He would like me to be. Well, thats all for now. Tune back in, more to come soon. God Bless!
