Week 2 of the Totally Tot
Teenage Blogger takeover!! I am thrilled to introduce my readers to 13 year old
Kailyn Smith! From the moment I met Kailyn, I knew that she was something
special, she was 10 years old rocking bowties and delivering nothing short of
style and “sass” in such a confident way. Kailyn radiates love, light, and fun!
She’s often the life of the party with her bubbling personality and her “Youtube
worthy” dance routines that I can never seem to get. Lol! Kailyn and I have
discussed her writing for my blog for almost 6 months now; I quite frankly
admired how Kailyn was so comfortable in her own skin and I wanted her to share
her secrets here on TotallyTot, not only for my teenage readers, but for the
adults as well.
Now, fast forward to 6 months
later and Kailyn presented me her blog post on friends and relationships. All I
can say is WOW!!!!!! Kailyn speaks of our relationship in her post but I have to
admit she has taught me so much in my short time knowing her. Our heart to
heart chats reminds me of how much I need God in my relationships. I sometimes
find myself wanting to go to Kailyn’s school and teach these so called friends
a lesson, (I’m kidding) but, I am reminded that God has the
answers for all of our burning questions. So, our best chats always end in
prayer and I thank God for these heartfelt conversations I am able to have with this young lady that will lead her right to HIM. She’s a
sensitive soul who genuinely loves everyone and I know that God created her
with this huge heart for HIS kingdom.
Meet my honey dip:
Kailyn Smith
My name is Kailyn and I am 13 years old. I’m in 8th grade and
I’m ready to take on high school (insert sigh emoji here). I am the oldest and
it’s a very hard job being a big sister but I am proud to take on these
responsibilities. I realize that I have to set a good example for my sister
because I know she watches what I do and she wants to do what I do. Even though
she can sometimes be a little mean, I love my little Keiran.
I love to dance, sing, and most of all I love
fashion. Fashion is something that makes me very happy and I love it with a
strong passion. Being able to mix and match clothes and, as Tot calls it,
playing dress up is really fun. I love to express myself through what I wear
and I want people to see me and be encouraged to be confident with their style like me.
I’m going to talk about friendships and how God helped me with my
friendships. All my life I had a lot of friends, I wasn’t popular but I was
well known throughout the school. As I’m getting ready to graduate 8th
grade and enter into High School I’m realizing all of the friends I thought I
had were not really my friends. I dealt with a lot figuring out my true friends
and the ones I had to let go. Please believe that I couldn’t do it without the
help of God and the Wonderful Lady herself Tot!!
Praying to God about friendships is one of the best decisions you can
make because He really opens your eyes to who is really with you and who can
also help you make God decisions when you are not in your right mind.
It also good to have someone to talk to so you don’t hold your feelings
in. Being able to talk with Tot about things and my friendships really helps
me. I know that she was sent from God to be someone I can talk to and someone
who can help me make better decisions and someone who prays for and with me. I even know that Tot has a mentor that she confides in and I believe that it is healthy and helpful to have someone that you can trust. Our conversations pretty much look like this:
Now, I’m going to talk more about my past with friendships and how God really
helped me. In the past I’ve had friends who bullied me, broken my heart, called
me fake and some who said they didn’t want to be my friend any more.
I struggled with that a lot because I considered
myself a good friend and I dealt with anger in myself for not being good
enough. When my Mother took me and my sister to church, it was one of the best
things to happen to me. After finding a relationship with God and figuring out
who I was, my true self, I was able to open up to certain people about how I was
feeling. Tot being one, has given me good advice and she helped me pray about a lot of situations in my life.
Now here’s some advice to the readers:
1. When looking
for friends pray about your relationships
2. Have faith
that God will send friends that will support you and bring joy in your life
3. My final tip
is to find someone to talk to about your feelings. Make sure you pray for the
right mentor that can provide some advice, guidance, and prayer.
That’s all I have to say and I
hope you enjoyed my testimony.
