Well its been awhile since I last shared my life with you guys :)
So I figured its about time to update.
Its almost Christmas which means I'm getting that warm and fuzzy feeling. <3
A lot of us get caught up in all the "wants and needs" of Christmas that we forget the true meaning. I dont care what you say, its always going to be CHRISTmas.
So basically I'm not going to tell you "Happy Holidays" or "Seasons Greetings". I am going to very bluntly say
"Merry Christmas"
I'm not going to call it a "holiday tree". It always and forever will be a christmas tree. When I laugh like Santa Clause, I'm not going to say "Ha Ha Ha". It will ALWAYS be "Ho Ho Ho". I'm a woman... I'm not offended.
I'm still going to go CHRISTmas caroling and sing to you "Silent Night" instead of "Rudolph the Red nose Reindeer". If you dont like it, tough noodles.
I still approve of sitting on Santa's lap. If youre worried about swine flu, it doesnt kill you. My brother,me,and my 3 year old step sister have had it. I'm not dead... neither are they. And besides you are more likely to get swine flu from schools and grocery stores then a one time visit to Santa's lap.
I'm a very merry person so I will go around the house singing Christmas carols NONSTOP. If your a scrooge then I will more than likely PURPOSELY annoy the heck out of you.
So I'm finished.
Merry Christmas!
I'm going to go put an angel on the Christmas Tree.
Silent Night.
Ho Ho Ho
Jesus was born!
""It's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything... but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life." -American Beauty

The Most "Wonderful" Time of the Year
Its officially December, which means that its "officially" the "most wonderful time of the year". The time where little fat rich kids get everything they want and we hear the same Christmas song everytime we turn on the radio. Its the time when we all put on our cute little jackets and hats to go join in the hussle and bussle of the shopping crowds. When we all head off to the stores to fight off old ladies for that adorable leather bag. The time when we attempt to get our husbands the perfect gift (socks). Oh this wonderful time of the year :)

My life is officially boring.
So I was going to write about what I did thus far on my day... nothing.
I woke up, ate some amazing cinnamon rolls, fed a cinnamon roll to my cat, cat sneezed and started having an allergy attack, drank coffee, almost spilled coffee on my precious laptop, saw a bird, bird flew away, participated in the To Write Love on Her Arms Day yesterday, wrote love on my arm, woke up with an itchy arm, I think I have ink poisoning, sat on my bed, fell asleep, woke up an hour later, started freaking out because I overslept, did some school work, threw my stuffed beanie duck against the wall, duck exploded, I had to pick up all the beanie things, wrote on my blog, realized I am truly a strange person, called for psychiatric help, they laughed at me ( not really ).

ah... love...
A few days ago I found out that a certain crush of mine liked someone else. The first words I hear after I found this out are “ Are you okay?!?!?” Of course I'm okay. I'm not going to give my all to one person. Here's my views on love and stuff like that in general.
1. God Has the Right Person Picked Out for You
God has the right person picked out for you. I think that the reason people are resistant to this idea is because they fail to see that God is all powerful. I know its hard to be patient... trust me... I know, but we need to trust in God.
“ Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5
That verse doesn't say trust in the Lord with “SOME” of your heart or “lean not on your own understanding unless you think its better than what God has in store”. Let me repeat what that verse says again
“ Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean NOT on your OWN UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 3:5
For me this verse seems IMPOSSIBLE to do. My understanding has been the only way I've known. The human kind is more comfortable with their own sense of direction that they cannot just let God take it from here. Everyone wants that feeling of love. The whole holding hands, and snuggling on the couch. Sometimes we even make ourselves believe that we love someone. We create a "false statement of love". Its hard to tell ourselves that God has the right person.
We need to stop and think about what love really means. We use that term WAY TO LOOSELY!
Love:
1. a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
2. a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.
3. affection or concern for another person
4. the benevolent affection of God for His creatures, or the reverent affection due from them to God.
I always have to stop and tell myself “ whoa! wait Kayla.. you just told that person you loved them. Sure you might be really good friends with them but do you HONESTLY love them!”.
I honestly do love most of my friends, but still we use that term very loosely. Do you honestly feel a “personal attachment” to that person?
2. God's Love vs. Our Love
“By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.” John 3:16-18
The last part of this verse is what stands out to me the most. “ Let us not love in word or tongue, but in deed and in truth”. This means that our love shouldn't just be words. Our love needs to be honest and true. We love based on feelings and emotions that change from one moment to the next. Deny it? It's true. You may think “ OMG I <3 my bf/gf ” well of course you do, but are emotions still change from one moment to the next. What if you “ bf or gf” is caught cheating on you... “WOAH HO HO Kayla. DONT SAY THAT?!?!” Well I'm just saying. If that happens you aren't going to feel the love for that person that you once felt. God's love isn't like that. God's love is unconditional.
The definition of Unconditional is:
1. not limited by condition; absolute
God's love has no limits. He always loves us no matter what.

Would you like me to stand on my head while im at it?!?!!?
So today for lunch I asked my sister if she could make me a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich. She replied with a "Come down the stairs and make your own stinkin' sandwhich". So while I was in the kitchen making my sandwhich... this same sister goes "Hey can you make me one too?"
Now im not a mean person so I said yes. From upstairs I hear my other sister shouting " Me too!"
" Alright!" I replied as I got out more bread.
" I want one too" shouted my brother.
I made the four sandwhiches and headed upstairs to eat it in my room. My mom catches me on the way and says "Ooooh that looks good. Wanna make me one?"
Gosh I love my family ( no sarcasim there... I really do!)

Fork+ Spoon=
I was updating my profile today and hit the "random question button". I almost giggled out loud when I read it.
The question: "Do you think forks are envolved with spoons?"
It took me a moment to ponder this thought and came up with the devine conclusion the indeed... forks and spoons must be having some kind of an affair. If it wasnt so... then how are there sporks? Hm.... those utensils are rebellious. ;)

Marriage
I myself, am far too young to be married. The thought of marriage seems hilarious to me. He grumbles under his breath that she has been "drinking to much". She mumbles something about him doing nothing around the house.
OH! and let us NOT forget the epic battler for the remote!
She wants to watch a Lifetime Original movie!
His game is on...
and the fight begins.
Her= " Honey... can I watch just one little movie"
Him= " Not now babe, the games on"
Her= " Please... just this one movie"
Him= " SCORE!"
Her= " Are you even listening to me. All you ever do is just watch your stupid games. Do you even care about me anymore. Does the fact that I brought you 3 beautiful kids mean anything. All I do is slave day in and day out trying to give you the perfect home, the perfect life..."
Him= thinking " Dang that chick on tv has some big boobs"
No no... thats not how things are. Maybe Im being a little sterotypical.
Marriage is about loving someone through thick and thin, rich or poor, sickness and in health. Do you love your spouse THAT much... I hope so. :)

Short Story for English.
She gazed up at the midnight sky, remembering that night she spent laying in his arms. Her fingers fiddled with the pale blue scarf that draped delicately around her neck. They stumbled upon the golden chain of her necklace. She clung onto the heart shaped locket as if it was the only way she could make connect with him. She sharply looked to her left. It was like he was calling to her, but it wasn't possible. The infinite cold December wind danced around her. Snow delicately caressed her skin like his fingertips once did. She whispered his name into the empty air, hoping, praying that by some possible miracle of a chance she could be with him again. Images flashed through her mind. That senior trip along the coast of Florida, his smile, the first Christmas she spent wrapped in his arms. He warmed her. He was her life, her song. She sat down on the icy tree stump. Flash backs still dictating her mind. She saw him. She could feel his hands brush her neck as he closed the clasp of her necklace. He dropped the chain yet his fingers still lingered. She remembered that moment, looking into his bright blue eyes, wishing that she could spend forever in his embrace, but like all good things, it ended. She snapped herself back into reality and pulled her jacket over her arms, threw the empty liquor bottle on the bed of snow and headed back to the warmth of her little cottage. She threw herself onto the bed, cursing his name as she went down. Where was the moon that he had once promised her? He promised her forever. The end of forever was sooner than she thought. Slowly, but surely the alcohol got the better of her and she fell asleep, clinging to his photograph for sweet life. He was the only thing that kept her alive, he was her only hope. She could see the lights of the cars, she could hear that screeching of breaks, the blood curdling screams. She could see him, laying there motionless, breathless. She could feel his dead cold hands. She hear his heart beat.
BOOM...BOOM BOOM.....BOOM.........BOOM..............BOOM...........BOOM........................... BOOM.... silence. “Forever” he sighed with his last breath. She could feel the sticky, warm blood seeping through her clothes. She screamed. “ You promised me forever! You promised me.” The taste of salty tears stung her lips as she threw herself to the ground. “ You promised me! You promised.”

What tomorrow brings.
I was thinking right after writing my previous blog. We spend forever wondering what tomorrow will bring. How much money we will have in the bank, or whether or not our spouse will be cheating on us. Instead of spending the night crying over these matters. We need to think abouth ow much stronger it will make us in the long run. For every bad event that has happened in you life, you become THAT much stronger.
Think about that...
Think about that...
My Own Understanding
" Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" Proverbs 3:5
For me this verse seems IMPOSSIBLE to do. My understanding has been the only way Ive known. The human kind is more comfortable with their own sense of direction that they cannot just let God take it from here.
Love= everyone wants that feeling of love. The whole holding hands, and snuggling on the couch. Sometimes we even make ourselves believe that we love someone. We create a "false statement of love". Its hard to tell ourselves the God has that right person.
Economy= yeah. We all know its bad. People cant pay for the medications that they cant live without. Children are starving. We're living off of Raman Noodles and dollar cheeseburgers. The dollar bill is so precious to us.
I could go on forever just telling you the problems in this world.
We just need to remind ourselves to trust in the lord.
Is that so hard...
