In the middle of this past semester, I found myself so busy keeping up with school, friends, boyfriend, and worrying about all of the above, that I wasn't able to take a step back and breathe! I'm one to use Instagram as a life update journal, since I really do enjoy sharing myself with those who decide they're interested in following me! Because of everything that was going on in my life, I hadn't even felt like I'd have anything to say in a life update, because I didn't KNOW what was even going on with me lol! Long story short, I finally gained some clarity and perspective, and this was my post:
Scattered Kayla Update: This week, I have been slapped in the face with the reality of how the Savior picks us up when we just give him our willing hearts, mights, minds, and souls. It’s hard! It’s hard getting out of that mid-semester slump when you’re just literally sick and tired so you’re skipping out on responsibilities and procrastinating deadlines, then just getting more behind even though you know finals draweth nigh but you feel like you’d take a W instead of settling for a mediocre final grade because the “what if calculator” is diminishing your hope? Maybe it’s just me, but I know you’re all going through something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyway, a huge reason it’s been easier to turn to the Savior has been the reminder of how much he wants to help me as I’ve seen all of the beautiful souls around me emulating His light and love. So if you don’t have people in your life to remind you that GOD IS GOOD, let me help you out here. “Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed.”
P.S. That last pic was our attempt at capturing Colbie Calliat in the background after we had a special interview with her and I ASKED HER A QUESTION AND she said that her favorite way to cheer herself up (not including writing songs) is to surround herself with positive people who lift her up and play with her dogs (which some may consider being the same as or better than people, right?).
