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 want to...

I want to change the world but collapse on the couch every night...

This statement fits me to the tee. I am highly ambitious with a million dreams of all things I want to do and how I want to help everyone. Adopt orphans, Recycle all water bottles, Volunteer with premature babies and their families, be a foster parent, have shelter animals stay with me to recuperate from abuse, teach everyone on the entire planet about Jesus, give blood everyday, my list goes on..and on..and on.

But at the same time I just want to literally collapse on the couch or in my bed every.single.night. I want to take a nap that lasts forever.. I want to do about 6 hours of yoga a day... I want to paint outside, by myself for so long that I don't even remember what time it is...I want to lay on the beach for days at a time.. and I want to float in the ocean until the wind pushes me to the shore.

I guess life is just about finding that balance of relaxing and doing. Do I want to change the world? YES. Do I want to sleep forever? YES. So I will not kill myself trying to do everything but realize both are things we all need in our lives and my efforts are what counts the most. :)
