About Me

For all of you who don't know me, my name is Kayla :) I have blonde hair and blue eyes and I recently turned 20. I have passion for tea, rainy days, fuzzy blankets, and tiffany box blue. My favourite season is autumn because in those months it is always the perfect temperature, but I also love summer because flipflops are my favourite. My favourite place in the entire world is Sedona, Arizona. I have too many favourite songs to be able to pick just one, but I have loved 'Something Beautiful' by Needtobreathe for a long time. Avocados are my favourite food, and I love the smell of lilacs. I also have the honour of babysitting the most adorable twins in the entire world (go to http://rockstarpreemies.com/ to take in the cuteness!)

This Blog
I spontaneously decided to start a blog one night because I needed to let my thoughts out, and I have always been much better at writing than talking out-loud. I was completely terrified to tell anyone that I had created a blog, but I am so thankful that I did. I never expected that my words would be able to encourage so many people!

Now this is my mission field, and I am praying that God will continue to use me as a light.

My Faith 
I am first and foremost a daughter of the Most High King, and my passion is to serve Him in any way possible for the entirety of my life.

My testimony is incredibly long, and maybe one day I will share it with the blog-world. But in summary, God has painted a million blessings onto the canvas that is my life. I have learned some hard lessons, and I have often taken some wrong turns, but He is constant and gracious. I am eternally blessed.

My Family 
I have two parents who unconditionally love me, and I would be nowhere without them. My Daddy is my hero. He is strong and supportive. He always listens and always comes to my rescue. My Mom is my kindred-spirit. Nobody understands me like she does, and nobody laughs with me as much as she does either. We love going on road trips to Buffalo, and we share a common love for everything healthy. I also have a younger sister named Christy who is 16. She has autism, and she is the sunshine to my world. She can light up any room with her passion for life. She has the best sense of humour, and she always takes my side. She is probably the sweetest and most inspirational person you will ever meet.



My Fiance
Ryan is my favourite person. He is hilarious, full of wisdom, and makes the best chocolate cake. He is a strong man of God with the most tender heart, and together we make the best team. We have been friends since grade six when we both started attending the same church. We were both part of the highschool worship team, and we travelled to Zambia together on a youth mission trip. Now, here we are. Some of our favourite things are tea (any and all kinds), baking fancy things (like trifles and tiramisu), spontaneous summer road trips, and reading together (with lots of blankets) on cold winter days. We can't wait to see where God takes us, to serve Him in ministry together, and to embark on this crazy adventure that is life. 



My Friends
On top of having an amazing family and fiance, I have the best friends anyone could ever ask for. Friends who know me inside and out, encourage me in my faith, support me in my weaknesses, and steer me in the right direction. We love Starbucks and milkshakes, movie nights and late night talks, summer beach days and adventurous road trips, and library study dates during exams. 



My Future
I am currently completing a BSH in Psychology, and there are many directions that God could take me when I finish my undergrad - so stay tuned!

I am also a girl of many dreams (then again, who isn't?) I absolutely love travelling. The farthest place I have ever been is Zambia, but one day I would love to travel the world and see every intricately-designed miracle. I love writing more than almost anything else, and one day I would love to become a published author. Last but not least, I long to one day be a stay-at-home mom, cooking and baking and cleaning and taking care of my big family (and maybe blogging on the side?). That would be more than I could ever ask for :) 

But, for now, I am just an ordinary third-year university girl, and I am doing the best I can to daily-give my wandering heart to the One who loves me most.
