The Journey Begins

Hi! Welcome to my blog. I am Kelsie D., and I am passionate about any and everything family oriented. Let's see; a few things about me that may or may not interest you... For starters, I love Jesus and believe that the Holy Spirit is alive, and working and moving today! That is the driving force behind my passions, beliefs, and life goals. I'm a conservative Christian; I don't watch, listen to, or do the things that would define most of today's culture. But you will find me both speaking in tongues while wearing some make up, a feminine shirt, and jeans. I am a 'newly wed' as of January 27th, 2018, to a wonderful man of God. I know a lot of people say that couples start arguing and not getting along after you do 'real' life with your spouse for a bit. Still hasn't happened...and we intend that it never will! :) We decorate everything in blue (our mutually favorite color). I am the oldest of ten siblings, and want to be close to all of them and my parents until Jesus comes back. I am a Life and Health Coach, and am blessed with a job that allows me to utilize that certification, and my Bachelor's degree in family life education. I love writing novels, short stories, and movie scripts for fun. I really enjoy cooking and finding flavorful new healthy recipes (especially ones that taste anything like cheese and alfredo...yum!). I love music, family- oriented movies, doing dollhouse crafts with my husband, and visiting with others that love Jesus, too. As for the point of this blog... Living for Jesus in a day and age where we're watching evil multiply in force and darkness (Jesus said it would!), I see a lot of young, downcast faces surrounding me. You see, contrary to many opinions or 'statistics' flying around out there, there actually are those of us young Christians that DO want a good, healthy, Christ- oriented family of our own in the future. Even if we're married, we want a community we can plug into that encourages us in the walk of purity, hope, salvation, and light. Most young people today express loneliness that there just does not seem to be others that feel the way that we do. I remember the 'moment' that this clicked for me the clearest. A couple years before I met my husband in the South, I moved with my family from a northern to a southern state....and you know what? I found, that in both the North and the South alike, the young people who truly love Jesus feel about the same. To specify; they feel that there is no one in this generation that wants to stand up for Jesus or family, or live with either at their center. They feel isolated. And who can blame them? They are quietly living the life that Jesus called us to...and not seeing much of any companionship along the way. My hope in creating this blog? To connect these people! That's right....you! Check out the different categories, and express your own opinion- keep it Christ and family oriented, please. Meet some new people you don't know, and who knows? Maybe through this weird internet blog, you'll find out that there's another Christian with similar heart and interests to you, who's lived fifteen minutes from you since you were three months old! :) God bless! - Kelsie D.
