You’re Invited
While the archives (thousands of posts over the span of a decade) will remain here, available to you at any time, new blog posts will be shared on my Substack:
Good Things with Kaitlyn Bouchillon (click to come visit and poke around!)
You can read along without subscribing, or subscribe for extra posts, fun surprises, and a gift sent your way. (Because we all like a good thing or two, right?)
It’s everything you’re used to here, but even more of the good stuff.
Good Things has a beautiful design and interface that makes it even easier for me to share new (free) resources with you all throughout the year, send devotionals / blog posts / Advent and Lent series your way, host a virtual book club (come join us!), and share behind-the-screen writing and personal life updates.
If you found me here and are looking for Virtual Assistant services or Book Launch Management assistance, it would be my joy to connect with you!
I check responses to the form on this page every single week and will be in touch promptly.
Although new blog posts, free resources, devotionals, round-ups of favorite things and the private virtual book club will now “live” on the Good Things site, you are welcome to peruse the archives here at KaitlynBouchillon.com or download the hundreds of freebies and resources that will remain available to you. I hope they meet you right where you are and serve you well.
With love and gratitude and a whole lot of excitement for sharing Good Things with you,
Kaitlyn

For the one who is still praying for the same thing, many years later…
If you've been praying for the same thing for a really long time... Me too. And I think these 4:04am words typed in the notes app are meant for you. For twelve years, l’ve prayed for physical healing.* When the brain tumor was removed, insomnia began. Most nights...
Temples, Trails, and When God Says “No”
Twelve years ago, I read a blog post titled “Trailblazer”. There aren’t many pieces of writing I can remember in great detail from over a decade ago, but this one struck a chord. Like a small seed planted in the ground and watered over time, its roots have gone out...
No Matter How Deep or Long or Dark the Night, This Remains
If you prefer audio, this article is also available as a podcast episode. For ten minutes, I stared at my phone screen in awe as friends across the country shared pictures of the northern lights dancing in the sky. I scrolled, captured by the wonder, until an image...
Dear you, it’s okay to not be okay today.
I planted my heels firmly into the ground and, with both my hands and my voice shaking, read a prayer to close my grandfather’s funeral service. With the wind blowing and tears falling and God watching, I held the prayer written weeks in advance in my hands, printed...
God Will Meet Us in the Muchness
If you prefer audio, this article is also available as a podcast episode. The hunter-green box sat tucked among books in the antique store, a mystery hiding in plain sight. One word on the spine caught my eye: puzzle. As an author and a voracious reader, I’m naturally...
Go ahead… light the candle.
It’s no exaggeration to say I think of this lesson/challenge/invitation on a weekly basis… Because, well, I light candles on the regular now. (Almost every day.) Last night I finished another and thought “Huh, maybe it’s time to share those words again…” Seeing as...
For the Ones Who Are Weeping
It’s labeled as “triumphant” but it began in tears. We’re quick to skip past the weeping to the waving of palm branches, but there’s a church in the shape of a teardrop built on the western slope of the Mount of Olives, like a hand reaching out inviting you to stop,...
God Is Not Going to Walk Away
Have you ever heard someone say, “I used to hate running, but I just kept going and now I love it!”? That is not my story. In January of 2022, I drove to my local trail, made sure the running app would sound an alert the very second I hit 1.00 miles, took a few deep...
Hosanna, here, in the ashes.
I don’t know what today held for you, but I imagine it was a mix of things. I mean... Valentine’s Day + Ash Wednesday A both/and if there ever was one. Tonight the ashes of last year’s Palm Sunday palm fronds were smudged onto my forehead, the mark of the cross, a...
When It’s Been a Lot for What Feels Like a Long Time
On an ordinary Tuesday afternoon, I opened my inbox and gasped. Inside, an email invited me to congratulate my grandma on a milestone number of years in her listed profession: pastor’s wife. Just past the hilarity of “How in the world is she on LinkedIn and who signed...
MY BOOK // Even If Not: Living, Loving, and Learning in the in Between
![“Blessed [spiritually prosperous, happy, to be admired] are the poor in spirit [those devoid of spiritual arrogance, those who regard themselves as insignificant], for theirs is the kingdom of heaven [both now and forever].
Blessed [forgiven, refreshed by God’s grace] are those who mourn [over their sins and repent], for they will be comforted [when the burden of sin is lifted].
Blessed [inwardly peaceful, spiritually secure, worthy of respect] are the gentle [the kind-hearted, the sweet-spirited, the self-controlled], for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed [joyful, nourished by God’s goodness] are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness [those who actively seek right standing with God], for they will be [completely] satisfied.
Blessed [content, sheltered by God’s promises] are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
Blessed [anticipating God’s presence, spiritually mature] are the pure in heart [those with integrity, moral courage, and godly character], for they will see God.
Blessed [spiritually calm with life-joy in God’s favor] are the makers and maintainers of peace, for they will [express His character and] be called the sons of God.
Blessed [comforted by inner peace and God’s love] are those who are persecuted for doing that which is morally right, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven [both now and forever].”
- Jesus in Matthew 5, AMP
💛 A small quote of my own and timeless words from Jesus that have been, time after time, a lighthouse and a guide for me. Perhaps they’ll find you at a time you need a line or two, too.](https://kaitlynbouchillon.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
