I believe perfection is overrated.
I believe Heaven is the goal and this life is the training ground. Anything on Earth, or in Heaven, worth having takes hard work and perserverance.
I believe God has called me to share the examples of His grace in my life so that others may more easily see His grace in their own lives.
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV
I am Kelsey Hensley. I am learning to be a daughter of God first, a wife second and a mother third. Somewhere in there I have to make room to be myself too. We forget too often about ourselves. We are so busy being what we are to everyone else that we forget what we are to ourselves. It has taken a lot of therapy and prayer to realize I always put myself last. So while I want to use this about me section to talk about my wonderful husband and two kids who make up my world I’m instead going to try something different and tell you about me. The real me. I’m just getting to know her for the first time in nearly 34 years so bear with me. This will change over time.
The real me is also a bit long winded, hence the overwhelming calling to blog… So the original version of this About Me can be found the post, A Little MORE About Me. The cliff notes version is this:
I am a daughter of Christ, wife to Ross, mother of two, daughter, sister, friend, businesswoman, salesperson, civic leader, novice painter, avid reader/audiobook listener, want to be bible studier, horrible housekeeper, decent cook, student of better health, intellectual, unathletic yet a surprisingly good skier, lover of travel, fan of silence, terrible singer, an Arkansas Razorback fan, and now a writer.
In Christ,
Kelsey
