Well, this begins my journey towards a humble heart. I am experiencing life on my own, as an individual now and I need to be able to write about what is going on.
As college has started, I am slowly realizing how magnificent God is. He has drug me from depths of desparation to encouraging me through constant love. I have always known that God cares about us individually but it has never been real in my life as much as it is today. I see constant examples of his earnest desire to make me smile all the time. I am at a magnificent school that is built on a BEAUTIFUL campus. I get to wake up everyday, even though sometimes I'm grouchy and tired, and LEARN, TOUCH, FEEL, SMELL, EXPERIMENT, TRY, FAIL, and SUCCEED. I have the world at my fingertips practically and I am living in "my best years," as everyone calls them.
As if that's not enough to be thankful for, God just overwhelms my life :) I also have the greatest mother in the entire world, Mallory Fuller, who constantly encourages me with love, support, advice and scripture. I am in love with THE greatest young man on this planet, NO, IN THE WORLD. :) I haven't checked Jupiter- but I think it's safe to say Ben still wins. :) This young man that God has blessed me with, continues to work through all of my insecurities and fight for the Godly woman I'm becoming. Did I mention he came with the most awesome family ever? Cause he did. They ROCK. Then on top of that I HAVE A PHENOMENAL FAMILY. Huge and incredible that have all raised and loved me.
So these are just a few of the things I am thankful for. But mostly, I'm thankful to worship a God who cares back for me.
My Road..
My life is a crazy, hectic, insane roller coaster ride and on this journey I am learning everyday how to love the Lord, myself, and others. My Jesus said in Matthew 11:29, "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." And that is my exact mission. I want to follow God, learn constantly and my goal is to become gentle, humble and peaceful in every aspect of this life. I have an amazing story so far... but God is no where near showing me or the world the ending. :) I am a daughter, smiler, girlfriend, lover, writer, blogger, friend, sister, painter, gardener and I LOVE who I am. On this journey I have one prayer and that is to: "Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul."-Psalms 143:8
I am unsure, unfinished... and I am happy.
I am Kelsey.
I look forward to following your journey :) That beautiful campus is a place that'll "get ya" with a crazy appreciation for all God is. Never take it for granted! May it be a place of peace, and also a place that challenges you to become the person God created you to be. You have so much to look forward to!
