Welcome

Hi there! My name is Kelsie, (or Gwyneth if you call me by my celtic name!) and this is my brand new blog. This is where I will share many of my thoughts, feelings, lessons learned, questions, jokes, favorite topics and photos. I named my blog "Gwenyth Island" because I love the beach and the ocean and I would one day love to own my own private island home, where my loved ones and I can spend all of our free time basking in the wonder that is God's watery creation.

Hi, Jacob, Mom, Dad, Shelby, Mom Mom and....my Papa, who now lives with God in Heaven. (I sure do miss you, Papa) I hope you visit often so that you can experience some of the things that are important to me, and also so you can read, from time to time, the words of gratitude and love toward you, that I sometimes find easier to write, than say. I thank God for all of you, every single day of my life.

Jacob, I have no idea what God has in store for our relationship. We are both very young and I know that we both have SO much growing and learning to do over the coming years. I am honored to be dating you. The most exciting part of that is the fact that you and I share a passion for dating according to God's design. It is such a miracle that I would find a boy who is as commited as I am to going against worldly ideals, and including God in every aspect of our adventure together. I want you to know that no matter where God takes us in this relationship, you are first and foremost, my best friend, and God has promised me that He will never allow anyone or anything to change, or get in the way of that. I hope we never break up. You are very, very special to me. You make me laugh, you wipe away my tears in friendship and you constantly lead me closer to the Lord. But we have made a pledge together, to allow God to steer this "ship" so I just look forward to taking this journey one day at a time. I know that if we continue to "turn our eyes upon Jesus", then everything else will take care of itself, and what is to be, will be, in God's own time, according to His will. Thank you for a school-year's worth of ecnouragement that has inspired me to go deeper into God's Word and my faith. And......thank you for the laughs and the memory of your famous Twin Tower flights! HaHa!

In His Love,
Gwyneth (Kelsie)
