Reay, Set, & 2 Months to GO!!!!

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

As I'm Waiting...

I am not sure if you guys are excited to hear if I got this Miss Crow Wing County International 2014 title as much as me but I am going crazy lol!! It has been super hard to focus on school and other things!! I have been praying and praying that God will help those who select the girls to represent their county to see my heart like He does!! Right when that letter comes I will update and probably do a YouTube video lol! Usually when it comes to pageant stuff I get super excited and I can't focus on anything else. I have not a clue why but that is just what happens. There is a purpose that I have this passion. I would haven't thought that I would be a pageant girl but I am super proud to say I am!! Also, I do ask for prayers for the pageant I am now assisting and I have competed in, The Miss Crosby-Ironton Scholarship Pageant. There was a big shake up with this program and I ask please say an extra prayer for us! Thank You! If you are interested in what this program has to ...

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

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!...

DeVry University...HERE I COME!

Hey readers, so a little bit has changed since I last blogged! Today was a life changing day for me. I truly was devastated after I received an email entailing my results from my Appeal form for my academic suspension. Well I did receive two bad grades due to my inability to study around work and family and also being able to enjoy what I was majoring in. So I really got uninterested quite quickly. I was going to change my major to Communication Arts & Design which is all about web design, video editing, etc. But one set back, actually two, it was in another city that was too far for me to travel to and my academic suspension. When I got my results back for my Appeal form, I got super excited because I thought that I was approved. Then I reread it and I was denied. This tore me up. I started to cry and I was in a mess of tears. I thought why, how could this happen to me. What am I going to do for schooling. I started to look up online colleges and I found a bunch of them. Then ...
