Hello, and welcome to my world. My name is Kaitlyn, and I'm fifteen years old. Simply put, I'm a writer. Words surge through me with every beat of my heart. Writing is like oxygen to me, because without it, I cannot exist. Though I'm only a sophomore in high school and many would say I've still got my whole life before me, I've faced my share of trials. Yet with every issue I've endured, writing has been my outlet, the one tool that allows me to disconnect from the world for a short time and plug in to myself and my relationship with the Lord. Writing has been my constant confidant, a place where I can release a whirlwind of emotions and, at the same time, receive healing and progress into the next stage of life that my Heavenly Father has planned for me. I've created this blog more as a journal for myself, to straighten out my thoughts, document some "crazy exciting" milestones, and express the ups and downs of life. But ultimately, I hope that writing this blog will allow me to become more in-tuned with the thoughts of my Savior, Jesus Christ. With all of that said, I hope that God can somehow use me through this blog to express His unconditional love to someone else. I give Him the glory for all that I am and all that I will be.



"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of POWER, LOVE, and SELF-DISIPLINE. So you must never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord." (2 Timothy 1:7,8 New Century Version)

"God comforts us not to make us comfortable, but to make us comforters." -John Henry Jowett

Unshakable Devotion


1 Samuel 2:1-10                                                                                                                 Unshakable

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “There is no one holy like the Lord. There is no God but you; there is no Rock like our God.” 1 Samuel 2:2 (NCV)

            On November 8th, 2013, Typhoon Haiyan slammed into the Philippine islands, leaving behind a trail of death and destruction in one of the largest storms in history. More than 500,000 Filipinos were left without homes as the typhoon’s ruthless hand leveled everything for miles. Miraculously, an immense white statue of Jesus Christ with His hands outstretched remained intact in the costal town of Tanauan. The majestic ivory figure, rising boldly to the sky, stood dramatically against the colorless debris scattered around it. Despite the 225 mph winds that ripped through the islands, the statue of Christ remained immovable—a symbol of hope in the midst of despair. God promises that His unchanging presence will never leave us. Even when storms of hardship come crashing through our lives and hope seems lost, His love and power will remain unshakable. He will remain the solid rock on which we stand.
PRAYER: Lord, remind me constantly of Your unchanging nature. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. When my life seems out of control, turn my eyes to your serene face and fill me with the power and peace of Your Holy Spirit. Amen.
