The face behind the blog

Well, this is something that I have put off for way too long. Just starting this blog has been a long-time dream of mine. Once I started designing my blog, I began pondering what on earth I could possibly write about now that it's actually here, right in front of me. It's almost too intimidating to write and share my truest, most vulnerable thoughts for everyone to read. Here it goes anyway. 

My name is Kayleigh Willis, I am 21 this Friday! I'm from Indiana, and I now live in Arkansas with my amazing husband of 6 months, ohhhhh and we are expecting our first baby next January (more on our relationship later). I am the second oldest of eight children, and was blessed to have been raised in a loving, God fearing home, with very supportive and involved parents. I truly would not be who I am today with my family, and my parents raising me to know of Jesus and his overwhelming love for me. Ever since I was about ten years old, I have always imagined having a blog and sharing my life and love for Jesus with anyone and everyone who would listen (or in this case read). 

it's not really a dream that has made much sense to me, and honestly still doesn't today. I have always had this almost burden to write a blog and start a social media to share Jesus with others, that has become so undeniable that I knew I just had to start this journey, this unknown and unpredictable journey towards what God has called me to do. Jesus and I have been very close for ten years now. It was actually ten years ago today that I made the decision to make Him the most important aspect of my life, and I asked him for forgiveness of my sins and asked him to make a new creation in Him and ever since then I am constantly growing and learning so much. My relationship with Jesus has been such an amazing gift that I cannot imagine my life without. God has been so so good to me, and he is continuing to be my best friend and savior every single day.  I seriously have witnessed the goodness of God countlessly and I just want the world to know that the God I know, is the God that desires a relationship with every single person that needs a loving father and friend. I am someone that is passionate about many different things, and I am definitely someone who wears my heart on my sleeve. I absolutely love coffee, it is something U have loved since I was probably too young to be addicted to something like coffee, but oh well...... it definitely did not stunt my growth haha. The is something so heavenly about drinking coffee first thing in the morning, uninterrupted while reading my bible. It is truly an experience that I will never grow tired of doing every day. 

Something that the Lord is currently teaching me is to be content. Yes, I know, much easier said than d done. Contentment has been an ongoing struggle of mine for years now. Sometimes I am convinced that I was just born discontent and that I am never going to truly overcome this feeling that where I am now isn't good enough, and that the only way to get through this season I am in, is to fully focus on the next experience that will be fun and exciting. I am learning that God is here is the now, and I don't have to be constantly chasing after the next shiny thing, or seemingly good experience to encounter God and his goodness in my life. 

So, I would love to personally invite you to join me on this journey towards growing closer to Jesus and learning more about him and his word. I invite you to grow with me as I learn and share with others. I pray that this blog blesses each and every soul that reads it. I am just here for HIM! all glory goes to my Jesus. Until next time. 

love yours truly, Kayleigh June
