HELLO everyone! :D

It has been a while since I have spoken to you it seems! Well let me update you a bit of course on what is going on pageant wise in my life. So I have been doing my best to get pageant swimsuit ready!! I feel I am the best I can be health/fit wise right now! I don't want to over work myself and get too crazy so I am doing things at a slow to moderate pace.

I am perfecting my talent & adding new tricks! I do not think I told y'all this but I figured why not tell you now because you will find out anyways! I will be doing a baton twirling routine to the song Dark Horse by Katy Perry for my talent! I cannot wait to perform it. I am always practicing & making sure I remember it all lol. But it should go smooth. It seems like when I hit the stage; my walk, talent, onstage question, & also offstage in private interview things go amazing & perfect!! Trust in God, that is the answer!

I have my evening gown, swimsuit, talent outfit (need the shoes like hello no outfit is complete with out them like #duhtotesobvious), baton, & heels. I feel like I am forgetting something but I will have it all together in time for pageant day. I cannot believe it is only 2 months away... 2 MONTHS PEOPLE!! CODE RED WE HAVE A PAGEANT COMING SOON & I AM SO FLIPPING EXCITED THAT I AM KIND OF NERVOUS. END OF CODE RED.

Haha ok sorry had to throw some humor in here! Now I HAVE to tell you something amazing! So I watched the Miss America's Outstanding Teen pageant tonight online. I was cheering my heart out for our Miss Minnesota Outstanding teen, Lauren! I am so proud of you buddy! Cannot wait to meet you this October...remember, we GOTTA take a selfie! :D What I also have to say is I was really drawn to the contestant from Georgia. She was amazing, she held herself high, & was just amazing!! Her answer to her question really got me. She was told by others in the MAOT long before she got her state title that she was "too big" & she would NEVER make it to the state title. Well she sure proved them wrong, God made her perfectly in His image as He did with all of us! What I absolutely love is that SHE WON!!!!!!! That inspired me to keep on truckin' to my dream of Miss America. Though I may have a hard time getting there & no matter who tells me I cannot/will not make it, I will shrug it off & know in God's eyes that I am capable.

"If God brings you to it,
He will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God."

Though I was born with a cleft lip & palate, I do not let that define me nor use it for attention. I use it to prove how God's grace has taken me from looking broken to an amazing perfectly imperfect child of God. I want to impact others with God's grace & love. Also with my story, which is full of God's mercy & gives Him praise.

I know these 2 months are going to fly by & it will be time to compete for the start of my dream toward the Miss America title. No matter what happens; Win or Lose, I will praise God! I have a purpose & I cannot wait to fulfill it out on that stage.

God Bless,
Tiffany Paul

Raising Funds for New Smiles!

By
Hello guys! So I have noticed that I am getting so addicted to blogging...HAHA can't help it is so much fun to blog about how much fun I am having recently that is pageant related! So I wanted to make a blog about my fundraiser for my platform...Operation Smile! I have known of this organization since I was little and with having this birth defect of a bilateral cleft lip and palate, I was personally connected with this. When my father would tell me to turn it to a channel the commercial was on for Operation Smile, I felt so bad for those kids who couldn't have the access like I had to doctors and surgeries. I wanted to make a change. I thought it would be cool to donate to my platform before the pageant to show how much I really do care and want to make a difference. But my boss suggested to do a fundraiser through the month of August for Operation Smile. So I did and I started actually in Mid-July and I already have more then my goal is! My goal was $240 which is enough...

MISS BL...ROUND 2!! LET'S DO THIS!

By
HEY YALL!! It is so close until the up-in-coming Miss Brainerd Lakes pageant! I am super excited! God has prepared me in multiple ways for anything He has planned! I have given it all up to Him!! I am doing my best this time around not to focus so much on what anyone else is doing rather focus on what God has placed in front of me. I seem to fall into this trap of thinking someone else is WAY better than me & I have NO CHANCE in achieving the title. Those thoughts need to be thrown out the window! I have always thought those kind of things when a pageant came about! I try to stop the thoughts but it seemed it just always happened! THIS YEAR is gonna be different. I'm changing my thought process & my whole outlook. I can't wait to make new friends, memories & continue to grow. This will be my sixth pageant...MAYBE THIS IS MY TIME...MY TIME TO GROW AND EXPERIENCE MORE OF WHAT THIS SYSTEM HAS TO OFFER. To be honest, I don't know but I do know I trust God!...

New Dreams, Challenge Yourself!

By
I truly think if you have dreams, please challenge yourself and not settle! I believe that is what I have been doing with pageants. No matter who or what brings me back in, at the end of another pageant I feel these same feelings. It's just not where God has me going in life. Let me paint you a picture of how it happened. It is the end of the pageant, it went by pretty quick and throughout the whole evening I felt off. I didn't feel as confident like I normally do with pageants. I tried my best as I possibly could. They handed out overall (throughout the 3 titles) individual awards. One miss contestant got two the other got one. There were three of us Miss Contestants. As we went up for the title I knew I wasn't gonna get it. The runner up was announced...not me. The title holder....not me. Shocker? No not at all! I've competed for 5 years....7 pageants (including this one) and I've always lost. I've won Miss Congeniality which is such an honor don't g...
