Instead of thinking about all the stuff we didn’t do in 2018... all the things we wish would’ve, could’ve, should’ve done, let’s think about how many times God brought us out of situations , especially the ones we put ourselves in by not listening to Him! We should be grateful that He loves us so much that we get to wake up each morning, including this morning which started a WHOLE NEW YEAR of amazing possibilities. We should move forward thanking God for His mercy and grace and the blessing of many second chances! • Let’s start this New Year with our plans aligning with God’s and if they don’t, we’ll as Pastor @stevenfurtick said, “any process that does not start with God, ends with disappointment.” When making your plans this year, start by asking God what His plan and His will is for your life! • Happy New Year 🎊🎉 https://www.instagram.com/p/BsGlqQXnrFH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2ah3ev67wb64

The birth of Jesus symbolizes so much for me, the most important being the free gift that’s so undeserving but yet, because my Father loves me so, was given freely and is still being given everyday! I’m so grateful! Happy Birthday, Savior 🙏🏾🎁 https://www.instagram.com/p/Br0eSvfH3d0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fjxoxd2ambht

Our waiting is NOT in vain! Remember God has a plan and purpose for you. There’s no mistake with our God! He is intentional and NEVER makes mistakes! He CANNOT lie and He is SO FAITHFUL! If you’re waiting and it seems to be taking F-O-R-E-V-E-R, just trust, be still and know that when it’s time, when the door opens, it’s DONE! In Jesus’ name.

This is SOOOO 1,000% true! Your calling, your purpose & favor from God all work together! God’s plan for your life includes all three! • Some people get calling and purpose confused or sometimes think they are the same thing... oh no no lol! Your calling is what you do - using the gift God has given you to succeed in life BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, to enhance the Kingdom! Your purpose is why you do it - the desire God placed in you, your passion that fuels and fulfills you BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, what God has for you to do for others (how you can be a blessing to someone else)! • When you walk in your calling according to your purpose, favor has no choice but to follow you because you are following Jesus, which is God’s ultimate plan for your life! • “For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD bestows grace and favor and honor; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” PSALM‬ ‭84:11‬ ‭AMP‬‬ • PC Pastor @stevenfurtick of @elevationchurch • • • • #2018MissBatonRougeJrTeen #DaughterOfTheKing #HeMadeMe #IAMThatGirl #StrongSmartBold #BeautifullyConfident #DreamBig #GrowingConfidence #UnapologeticallyME #ChangeMaker #DoSomething #NAMiss #PageantGirls #NationalAmericanMiss #TeamSchneider #LouisianaGirl #SpeakYourself #SpeakYourTruth #SPEAK #SPEAKup #TeamSPEAK #FindYourVoice #useYOURvoice #ENDtheSilence #LoveYourself #BTSLoveMyself #GenUnlimited #GlobalGirlsGLOW #PostWithAPurpose https://www.instagram.com/p/BrDsFNQnvUS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=aqhcjluwfog7

#NAMNationals18 competitions began yesterday! Hollywood tour is NOW! Can’t wait to buy everything in the @bt21_official store - well, maybe not everything because according to my mom there’s this thing called a budget 😐😂 I hope everyone is having a fantastic time! • Raven is seriously the best queen!! She’s so real and authentic and she truly represents National American Miss like no other. It was such an honor meeting her! We both love art, BTS, and Jesus!! And she is so funny!! It was a blast sharing who I was with her and I cannot wait to share the stage with her for our Production Number dance! FAKEU LUBB, lol 💙😂 • Being quiet isn’t a disadvantage. You don’t have to be the most outgoing, social girl in existence to conquer and change the world. Even God works best when things are buried (planted), and that means individuality. You don’t have to share everything you do. It doesn’t mean that you aren’t being productive, it just means you are quietly and humbly pursuing your dreams 💙 • • • • #2018MissLouisianaJrTeen #StrongSmartBold #BeautifullyConfident #DreamBig #GrowingConfidence #UnapologeticallyME #ChangeMaker #DoSomething #NAMiss #PageantGirls #NationalAmericanMiss #TeamSchneider #LouisianaGirl #SpeakYourself #SpeakYourTruth #SPEAK #SPEAKup #TeamSPEAK #FindYourVoice #useYOURvoice #ENDtheSilence #LoveYourself #BTSLoveMyself #GenUnlimited #GlobalGirlsGLOW #PostWithAPurpose (at West Hollywood, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqif_CJH-w2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=onkx1eaf6ct4

#NAMNationals18 is HERE!!! Check-In/Day One was amazing and Day 2 is underway! I hope you’re enjoying every bit of it! I met our beautiful and super sweet @nationalamericanmiss @thenamaajrteen @ravenwright! You’re the best! I’ve reconnected with some of my loves and met some new friends as well! This is ONLY the beginning 💙 • I wanted to send a bit of encouragement for this week as well. I know it can be overwhelming at times and perhaps you might find yourself comparing yourself to the girl in front of you in line, thinking “wow she’s so pretty; so much more than me.” OR “look at how graceful she is; I’ll never be like that”... STOP! You are enough because you are YOU! You are strong enough! Your weakness is made perfect in His strength and His grace is sufficient. Just trust... you got this ~ Alaina 💙 • • • • #2018MissLouisianaJrTeen #StrongSmartBold #BeautifullyConfident #DreamBig #GrowingConfidence #UnapologeticallyME #ChangeMaker #DoSomething #NAMiss #PageantGirls #NationalAmericanMiss #TeamSchneider #LouisianaGirl #SpeakYourself #SpeakYourTruth #SPEAK #SPEAKup #TeamSPEAK #FindYourVoice #useYOURvoice #ENDtheSilence #LoveYourself #BTSLoveMyself #GenUnlimited #GlobalGirlsGLOW #PostWithAPurpose https://www.instagram.com/p/BqakAclnRzR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1neh9ssg3el6n

Sometimes situations (even people)come up to distract or discourage us. We get weary and frustrated and we might even question God. But I heard Pastor @iammiketodd say to do the last thing God told you to do while you’re waiting on your assignment/blessing! Just remembered that what God has promised you, IS FOR YOU! Be still and KNOW that He is God! #NAMNationals18 ~ 10 days YAY!!! • PC Pastor @stevenfurtick • • • • #DaughteroftheKing #HeMadeMe #IAMThatGirl #2018MissLouisianaJrTeen #StrongSmartBold #BeautifullyConfident #DreamBig #GrowingConfidence #UnapologeticallyME #ChangeMaker #DoSomething #NAMiss #PageantGirl #NationalAmericanMiss #TeamSchneider #LouisianaGirl #SpeakYourself #SpeakYourTruth #TeamSPEAK #FindYourVoice #useYOURvoice #ENDtheSilence #LoveYourself #BTSLoveMyself #GenUnlimited #GlobalGirlsGLOW #PostWithAPurpose https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp-bUSJHZGt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10evr99b7w434
