Hi everybody! So, I’m not sure how to start this off, or how to tell people about me. Let’s start off with this… I’m Kaitlin. I’m 17 years old and a junior in high school. And I’m from Gallatin, TN. Uhhh… I’m an excitable person in whom feelings are much stronger than reason. I’m a strong admirer of all music. I play piano and sing. And, I’m trying to teach myself to play guitar. Oh, another thing. I write. I write everything. No one knows much about it. I journal my thoughts, feelings, concerns, questions, lyrics, songs I write, people I meet. I never want to forget a moment. We meet so many new people each day. And many of them evoke emotions in us. Some make us temporarily angry, some make us temporarily happy, some confuse us, some cause us to think deeper than we normally might. I never want to forget a single person that has made me feel something. I’m the messiest person I know. My room is a mess, my car is a mess, my heart is a mess, and lot’s of times my hair is a mess. I wouldn’t have it any other way though. I go through phases where I count my steps. It just happens, I’ll go for months at a time without counting them, then all the sudden, I’ll start and that goes on for forever. And ugh, just an endless cycle. I absolutely love meeting new people, it’s almost an addiction. I can’t wait to get to get from one place to another and meet everyone that I can. I’ll probably end up alone, and I really wouldn’t mind it. As long as I have good friends who keep me humble, happy, and on a Christ-like path. I used to not be able to tell the truth about how I feel about things. At some point in my life, I can’t really pinpoint exactly when it was, but that all changed. Now I’m honest, almost to a fault. More than anything, I want to live in poverty. I want to be stripped of all these material things and these counterfeit beauties and truly see the world as it was meant to be seen. Not for the love of money, or possessions, or high tech gadgets. And lastly, i’m in love with my marvelous, faultless Savior.
There. That wasn’t so bad. I think… Haha! I can’t wait to meet all of you!
Kaitlin you sound amazing! I’m so excited to get to know you. I love journaling things too… Uganda’s going to be so awesome 🙂
I’m so excited to meet you already! I’m sitting in my school library right now, and I was smiling to myself as I was reading this because I love your honesty and I can totally relate to the poverty thing, and not very many people think the same way we do, so I always get excited to meet people like you. =) I’m so excited for this trip, we have an awesome group!
