Dear Katrina,
I, for one, have been greatly blessed by your "Living for Jesus". And although I don't think I've ever posted a comment, I find your faith and your witness such a blessing and an encouragement. It has been such a joy knowing you and your family and I am delighted to stay in touch with the happenings of your sweet life this way. May God continue to bless you and keep you in His care always. Happy Birthday~ Jeremiah 29:11
With love, Jillayne (Gardner)

Happy Birthday Katrina!!! I'm Sarah Hardin from WA. I met you at the Washington Maiden's Quest and then found your blog through the Riddell's. I've been greatly blessed by your blog! I'm 16 and really appreciate the example of older girls/ladies who have made it through their teen years and are still serving Christ whole heartedly.
In Him,
Sarah

Happy Birthday, Katrina!
I wish you a very blessed day! (Am I out of line in asking for the exact day? :-)
I don't always comment but I read every post of yours and am always left refreshed and challanged. Your love for Jesus was one of the first things that caught my attention and I am still inspired by it every time. I pray that God may richly bless your life and hope to meet you one day, (here, there or in the air!) as I am sure we shall.

Hi Katrina,
I read your blog thoroughly, but not as often as you post. I probably read closer to monthly and enjoy reading a lot of posts at once! On some things, I get the full scoop all at once! Like Katelin's courtship...how exciting! My ability to reply these days is lacking...I'm working on those arrows in my quiver, you know! Your family has blessed me greatly and I will be trying to stay in touch with you FOREVER!!! You've had a huge and lasting influence on my daughters that still shows in their character and dress in spite of myself! Ha ha. You continue to bless me! Happy Birthday!
Love ya,
Sharon Goodwin (Mrs. G) =)

Hello Katrina! I have been following your blog since the Maiden's Quest you all did in Houston. It has been quite an encouragement to me. It is always good to know there are others who desire to follow the life God has planned for them. Thank you so much for being an encouragement and an example to young ladies. I look up to you in so many ways. You have been a blessing in my life. I wish you the happiest of birthdays! God Bless,

Hi Katrina!
I am a sixteen-year old young lady and I have commented on your blog only once before, anonymously. (I'm the one who said I didn't realize how much I enjoyed reading your posts until you didn't post for so long!) You don't know me, but my Mom and sister and I did attend the Dallas, TX Maiden's Quest Retreat last year and loved it! I'm sorry, but I can't share my full name! I hope that's okay.
I want you to know that I do appreciate your enthusiasm for the Lord and your willingness to serve Him faithfully! It's great knowing there are other young ladies who have devoted their lives to "living for Jesus"!:) It's encouraging!
I hope you had a supernaturally blessed birthday!
With love in Christ,
Taylor
