You Are Enough September 6, 2015 | Kenzie M This is pretty difficult for me to write about as it's something I always have and do struggle with. It's easy in this world of perfectionism to feel that you are never enough. We are constantly bombarded with pictures and news feeds of girls with the perfect fashion, the perfect bodies, the perfect relationship, the perfect life. And we start to look at ourselves and realize that we are so far from that "perfect" person. And yes, we are so far from being that "perfect" person, because she doesn't exist! No one is perfect, nor will anyone be perfect in this world. We get so caught up in wanting to be "enough" that we forget about the filters and photoshops of this world. What's real and what's fake? It's hard to tell anymore. But one thing is for sure: no is perfect. Not even your seemingly "perfect" friend. Because deep down, everyone is hurting. Deep down every...

Sunday Thoughts: His Will August 30, 2015 | Kenzie M "I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens, Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance, And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance... I hope you dance...." As you may have figured out by now, I love music! I have had many tender and meaningful experiences with music, making a special place for music in my heart. I have often times been struggling with depression, anxiety, decisions, etc. and I hear a song that lifts me up and keeps me going. "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womak is one of my very favorite songs. I remember getting one of those cards where you open it and it sings from my dad quite a few birthdays ago. As soon as the song came out of the card, tears flowed down my cheeks. I don't know what it is, but something about this beautiful song turns on the waterworks for me!  Another reason I ...

Sunday Thoughts: Invisible August 9, 2015 | Kenzie M I've been wanting to write this post for a while now, but I feel like I've sort of got writer's block. Or maybe it's just that I'm nervous that I won't do the topic justice. It's something I am very passionate about because I have struggled with it myself, and I know that it is absolutely miserable. I hope and pray that by sharing my experiences and the things that saved me, I will be able to help someone else.  Invisible. For pretty much all of high school this is how I felt. I felt invisible. I sometimes wondered whether people would even notice if I was suddenly not there. Would people be sad or would life just go on as normal?  These are the scary thoughts that ran through my head when I felt invisible. It always felt like the more people that I was surrounded by, the lonelier I felt. It's a painful oxymoron that many people face in our society. We can be surrounded by a multit...
