Purity Ring

Over a year ago I received a purity ring for my 14th birthday. I wear it on my ring finger, and I never take it off. I realize that it is not necessary to wear a purity ring in order to keep your personal commitment to staying pure, but I think that the symbolism is important, and can be very beneficial.

When I look at my ring I am reminded that God has chosen a perfect partner for me, and that he too is patiently waiting. This thought helps me to guard my actions and words around other young men. Since receiving my purity ring I have also begun praying for my future husband. I may not know who he is, but the Lord certainly does, and I can be sure that He will hear my prayers.

Not only has wearing a purity ring encouraged me, it has also served as a witnessing tool. A few people have seen the ring and asked if I had a boyfriend. I took the opportunity to share about my commitment to my future husband and therefore, my commitment to Christ.

Two Thousand Ten Has Come At Last.

I refuse to call the new year "Twenty ten". That sounds stupid. Maybe people called 1997 "Nineteen ninety-seven", but it's not the 1990s anymore, now is it? :) I can now say that I will be 18 next year. (This being the year I turn 17.. in 11 months.)
So much happened in 2009. It was a very good year. 2007 still beats it in the "World's Most Amazing Year That Kaitlyn Has Been Around" contest though. Haha! In 2009 I made a few friends (understatement). Emily graduated in May. July was the most busy time of my life, thus far. I didn't have ONE free day! I was in 2 plays (with the option of being in a third, but my schedule just wouldn't allow it.) :)
I started at John Casablancas Modeling and Career Center in September. Mom, Bethany, Emily, and I were wedding dress shopping at Franklin Park mall when we came upon a booth for John Casablancas. I had already gone to an audition/ interview in Columbus at JC. I didn't know there was one so much closer! Anyway, the nice lady (Bonnie, the owner of JC in Toledo) invited us to an audition that night at their office! All three of us girls! We went and were all accepted! Emily and I started classes a week later. (Bethany decided not to do it)
I had been looking into modeling for about 1 1/2 years by then. I even went to a couple auditions for Alterna and Redken hair/ runway shows. I didn't get into those. John Casablancas has been a dream come true! There are twenty classes to take in order to get your "diploma"; which include three runway classes, three make-up classes, a "color" class, a hair class, two acting classes, classes on photoshoot preparation and resumes, and at the end- a photoshoot and graduation. I had the opportunity to be in a runway show with some JC students.. too bad I was in North Carolina visiting cousins! :) There will definitely be more though!
Just this past week I worked 2 days at Dillard's at the Chanel counter as a fragrance model. I get $200.00 Chanel/ Dillard's credit. :D If it DOES count for Dillard's credit I'm getting THESE shoes... :D :D :D

So there's this one personnnn.. That person seems to be perfect in just about every way. I am very jealous of that. Other than their sarcastic tendencies, of course. But I think I'm attracted to that, too. D: What is it about them that makes me think that they don't like me? I don't like it when people don't like me. I love making people laugh and be my friends.. but I feel like I'm not myself around this particular person.. that's what makes them not like me. Like I'm always trying overly hard to make them like me. Please, God, make me be myself!! I want to be nice, polite, sweet, caring, genuine.. But I have a hard time with that. I think that if this person saw me at my nicest, politest, sweetest, most caring, genuine times, that they would LOVE me! Hahaha! Not really... But it'd be nice. :) I have a few more months to prove to myself and everyone else that the old Kaitlyn is still in there. That will be my 2010 "resolution". :)
Tomorrow starts the second semester of the 09-10 school year. Ohhh joy! :) I love learning, don't get me wrong.. but Waking up is hard to do! (isn't it "Breaking up is hard to do?") (Which isn't my case, considering I've never broken up with someone.) :)

Sincerely, :)
Kaitlyn Collins. ♥

"To my fellow Americans who have loved ones over here, who know what it's like to miss them, you have the power to make our government bring them home," he said. "Please, please bring us home so that we can be back where we belong and not over here, wasting our time and our lives and our precious life that we could be using back in our own country. Please bring us home. It is America and American people who have that power."

=D

One Day while feeling kind of hungry, a monkey, named Albert, went out looking for the perfect banana. After traipsing through the jungle for a very long, tiring time, Albert finally came across a lovely bunch of bananas; and right there in the direct center was the most perfect, gleaming, wonderful banana he had ever seen in his entire life.

Suddenly, just as Albert was about to peel down the side, the banana wildly came to life! Spitting, sneezing, and hacking, the banana was about to give Albert a cold, when all of the sudden George the Great Yellow Lion came bounding out of the trees with a tissue, covering the banana’s face. The banana was SO angry! He wanted to give his cold to someone else. (For he had gotten it so very long ago.)

Later that night after everything had seemingly calmed down George was sitting down ready to consume his dinner of grapes and boysenberries. While banana, having only the thought of revenge in his mind, was hiding in a bush close to the lion’s camp, holding an ax. As he was slowly prowling his way towards George he raised his ax ready to slice off the lion’s tail. Albert, who was lounging in a nearby tree, saw what was about to occur. Grabbing a coconut out of the tree, he clung to a vine and swung down, knocking the banana over with the coconut. He then picked up the ax and diced the banana into small pieces.

Albert and George had a great dinner of grapes, boysenberries, and banana.

The moral of the story is -‘ Don’t try to eat sneezing bananas from the jungle.’

(Actually it’s -‘One good turn deserves another’.)

Ruth.

Ruth was a common woman no one paid that much attention to. Her world was caving in. She had just lost her husband, her home, and her security.
A woman had no place in the world without a man. They were only expected to clean their house and feed their family. If their husband so unfortunately died- as Ruth's did- they could go back to their Mother's home and hopefully be welcomed back... most were not. A single woman had few ways to support herself. She could beg, sell herself into slavery or prostitution, look for a husband among eligible men in the village, or seek help from a male relative. Or, during the months of harvest, she could glean. (Gather stalks of grain left behind.) You'd think she would've let the world take her down.. but she didn't. She worked in the fields from sun-up to sun-down, everyday, all day. For 2 months. As the harvest season was coming to an end Naomi (Ruth's loving mother-in-law, the only one Ruth had left) was worried and told Ruth to go to Boaz- a relative, who owned the field Ruth was working in- and ask him to marry her. He praised her for not going after a young man, favoring him. He told her their was someone else closer in relation (It was an unmarried man's responsibility to marry girls related to them, widowed, or never married.) whom he would see if he wanted to take care of Ruth, and if not Boaz would gratefully marry her. As it turned out the other man did not want to care for Ruth. So Boaz took Ruth as his wife, also caring for Naomi. Then 47 generations later.. Jesus was born.
God uses the most unexpected people for the greatest things.
