We are gathered here today to remember the life of our once dear friend Caitlin Noelle Wood. Caitlin like many of us was a dreamer, was passionate, and wanted to change the world. With the help of many friends, and many of us here today created a group called the Love Labour Movement which, using whatever gifts and talents we had would raise money for those who needed help. God led that movement, and Caitlin was always incredibly thankful for that movement, and how God used that movement, even to the very end. When she was 19 she went to the beatiful but broken country of Romania. She worked with orphans and abandoned babies for 3 months, and loved every second of it. She longed to serve as Jesus Christ served and through her life that was very evident. Caitlin went on to school as an ECE and got her diploma, and went on to other schooling, but Caitlin always said, that it wasn't the education that made the difference. It was the God that was directing her. Caitlin met her boyfriend and partner for life at what she said was the perfect age. Not to young, not to old. And they lived together happily with their family serving the Lord until he passed away quickly last year. Caitlin didn't live an easy life, she never wanted one, she didn't believe it was realistic. But Caitlin always, through all the crap that she went through, always had a faith in Christ. She loved as much as she could, through all the crazy places God led her and her family. She served as much as she could, and she always strived to be like Jesus Christ. She didn't stop questioning, but she trusted got for the answers. She will be remembered for her constant joy, and for all those she helped. She didn't change the world as a whole. But she changed many individuals worlds. And we will remember her for that. May we always remember her laughter, and her smile. Which she always gave so easily.
sorry for not waiting. there are things i have to do on my own. Sorry for being so vague.. But i would rather my life be directed by God, then for me to make it up.

i think we all have very important contributions to make in life, don't let your fears drive your desire to make those contributions. Instead be driven by love.
If you do not believe in yourself how do you expect to make any change in the world.
Keeping hope is important to being empowered.
don't ever lose hope.
if i dont believe in myself it gives me more room to believe in God. That is how i chose to make change in this world.
God works through us to acomplish his goals. Believing in yourself is about believeing that God will use your actions to acomplish his good.
