About Mikayla

Mikayla The Ordinary Girl



Hello! I’m Mikayla, an nineteen year old from central Texas. Being God’s child brings me more joy than anything else in this world. I am very passionate about writing and photography, I hope to make one of them my profession someday. Until then, I like to keep my writing in practice by blogging, emailing, and writing lots of novellas. I fill up my camera card super-fast by taking photo of nature, and occasionally portraits. When not perusing those hobby’s, I can often time be found hanging out with my friends, reading heaps of books, reading blogs, or biking around in the country.

Interested in more random facts about me? I’ll see what I can do. I love writing poetry. My favorite book is Annabeth's War by Jessica Greyson. I believe that fancy dresses should be worn more often. I’m rarely without music, and my favorite artist is TobyMac. I have a weird obsession with chap stick (EOS is my favorite). I am a strong Nancy Drew fan, but only of the classic 56. The world needs more girls like ND. I think it’s unfair that credit cards can be unlimited, but camera cards can’t. I value complete honesty very much.  I’m in constant awe of all the amazing things God has put around me. My prayer every day is that I would be able to shine His light, and bring glory to His kingdom, not myself. 

Now I’ve told you about myself, I want to know about you!

  1. Shalom Mikayla! :) Awesome cool blog! :D And the comment box is working - coooool! :D I'm always listening to music, too, whether it's being played or what's going through my head at the moment. :P
    The Creator has given us so many amazing things. That is a great prayer and mine as well. :)

  4. Just found your blog, and I'm a new follower. <3 I love dresses (just a recent obsession), and retro has become my newest love.
    I also adore Nancy Drew, though I haven't read any in a long time. The oldies are always best!

      Oh, that's awesome! Lol, well I hope you let some of it see the daylight soon! My photography wasn't so great when I started sharing it, but it's been fun to grow as a photographer on the blog. =) What are some of your favorite books?

    2. I really love indie books- I love them so much I actually started a platform for them. xD I really like The Coronation and The Rebellion by Livy Jarmusch, Martin Hospitality by Abi Claire, and the Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart. :) My blog is actually for reviewing books, which is really fun. It gives me a really large opportunity to read more. xD And an excuse to read more, but let's not get into that.
