This past year with Kayti has definitely been one of challenges. Between her therapy for her anger issues, body image issues, eating disorder, adjustment issues, etc. and her first boyfriend, that just happened to be one that influenced her to make bad decisions, it hasn't been easy for any of us.
But I am VERY proud to be her mom! She is dependable, smart and getting more and more confident every day in her ability to be a strong, independent young woman. She just started working at her first real job a few weeks ago and is eager to get her own bank account, her car fixed and flex her wings a little.
She is striving to score high on the ACT so she can be eligible for a scholarship to 'bama and is excited to move to T-town next year and live with her brother again.
She still proclaims her atheism. But I sense she is really just angry and struggling as I have at times myself. I know that seeds were planted very young and God's Word promises that nothing can snatch us from His hand once we are His. I'm standing on that promise and praying for her relationship with Him to be healed. I know He hasn't left nor forsaken her.
Happy 17th Birthday, Sara Kaytlan Quick! I love you VERY much!
