Kaitlin has this gift of love that few come close to in comparison. I have started to realize how often I write about people's love and how it has influenced me, but everyone has a different way of loving, and ironically enough, I love that about people. Kaitlin's way of love is unique; she has a quite type of love that speaks loudly through actions and selflessness. Regardless of who you are to her, she will do anything for you. Love is something that she takes very seriously, but gives freely. It is a beautiful thing to be around someone who lets Christ's love for others shine to everyone she knows and doesn't know. Kaitlin has this gift of dreaming and not letting those dreams and goals slip away from her. If she sets her mind to something, it gets done. That may be in part because of her incredible and headstrong mother who lives out every ambition and goal she has ever had, but even that comes from the Lord. Her faith is unbelievable to be a witness to because it is so pure and so personal with her creator and king. I was blessed my junior year of high school to have Kaitlin and start a friendship with her that changed the way I viewed friendship forever. She helped me in so many ways, discover and further my faith and my walk with Jesus. We were inseparable, and were mostly referred to as Click and Clack. We struggled through chemistry together, and somehow both passed after endless study sessions that didn't help at all. I could never have molded a better friend for myself, and she was the first person who helped me realize how precious of a gift friendship is from God.
The most wonderful thing I have taken from our friendship is surprisingly not the love of chai with sugar free vanilla or the tolerance of little, yippie dogs. The most wonderful thing I have taken from our friendship, is the way she treats people. When she had all the friends in the world, she still took the time to be mine. She never makes me feel inferior or not worthy of her friendship, even though I certainly don't deserve it. I appreciate her so much more then I have ever been able to convey to her in words, but she truly is incredible. Katiebob, I am so thankful that I have known you my WHOLE LIFE (aka three-ish years) and know that I pray for you all the time. Continue to love without limits and never be afraid to take chances on the things you love. I love your outlook on guarding your heart, never forget how much your Father adores you. I love you forever Deeb.
Proverbs 4:23
"Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life"
