""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

Beacon
I'm Kayla. I'm not some "preppy teenager". I'm not some "emo" or "goth" kid. I'm not some "gangsta" or "nerd", I'm Kayla. I am myself and no one or nothing can change that. God knows who I really am annd he loves me for it. We need to stop being so consumed with "popularity" and other peoples' opinions and just be ourselves. Honestly, how are we showing God's love for us, if we aren't being ourselves? How are we portraying God's love and grace by making fun of people,drinking,smoking,cursing,sleeping with everyone? We aren't!!!!! Us, teenagers, are the next generation! We need to SHOW GOD'S LOVE! I know that I'm going to be a beacon of light. Maybe there would be less heartbreaks, less suicides, less divorces, breakups, and abortions if we show God's love. God never guranteed us a "perfect world" so let's get that out of our minds, but he did promise shelter in the storm. And when thousands of people are in that storm, I'm going to be the beacon that helps them to shelter.

The Power of Perserverance
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith" 2 Timothy 4:7
1. We must remain faithful, especially during times of hardship
- God is always there for us. No matter what we are going through, how big or small our problems are, God is ALWAYS there.
- God answers EVERY prayer. Although the answer might not always be "yes". God knows what is best for us and God knows what will fit in his master plan.
- Everything happens for a reason. God has a plan for your life. So everything in your life,every little detail, every bad thing, every good thing, has a reason.
If you are having a hard situation just remember that God is in control.
Journal:
I seem to get so caught up in life that sometimes I "forget" God is there. I seem to plave him on the "back burner" until I need him. Then I do some devotions, get on a little "Jesus high" and the next day, go right back to my same routine. I put God on the "back burner" once again. Honestly, I need to STOP. God should be number one, numero uno, the Big Cheese! He should come before friends, before boys, before music or dance or photography, and yes, even before school. He should come before that because he IS my everything. If I claim God to be my everything, my all, then why am I treating him as though he's not important. God shouldn't be JUST my "go-to" man. I shouldn't just go to him when I need him. I'm in a "relationship" with God. In order to have a relationship with him, I need to give effort. God's willing, I just need to be. I just need to put forth the effort. I need to
STOP PUTTING GOD ON THE
BACK BURNER!!!!
