Welcome to Purified Perspective

My name is Caitlyn Beck, and I am offering you a front-row seat to my journey of developing a pure heart, spirit, and mind through my Lord and savior. This blog will highlight the previous trials and tribulations I have faced and how I am working to overcome them. I hope to share my testimony so that others can avoid going down similar pathways that I have in the past. When I decided to start this blog, I contemplated the name for what seemed like forever. I read scripture after scripture, looked at existing blogs, asked for opinions from others, and prayed about it a lot. Finally, it hit me like a ton of bricks. My name, Caitlyn, means pure. As you may know, the Bible has many examples where we see the meaning of a person’s name come to life. We see the importance of names when Abram becomes Abraham (the father of many nations).  We see it again when Jacob (meaning deceiver) becomes Israel (meaning God’s people). There are many more examples of the meaning and importance of names throughout the Bible. As you come to hear my story you will see the irony of the meaning of my name and the circumstances I have endured. Truth be told my name may mean pure, but I haven’t always felt pure. My behavior has not always been pure either. What does it even mean to be purified? According to the Oxford dictionary, purified means “having had contaminants removed; cleansed.” There is only one true way to be purified. You guessed it, through the blood of Jesus.

Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Being purified and saved through Jesus gives you a whole new perspective and I hope to open your eyes to the true beauty that comes with being a child of God.

Put Down the Pen

Don’t think for one minute that I don’t see the irony of titling a blog post “Put Down the Pen” while announcing that I have decided to pick up my pen and start regularly blogging again. Stay with me, I haven’t completely lost it. This post was inspired by a sister in Christ who graciously humbled me. She boldly informed me that I have been using my pen for all the wrong reasons. I have always loved to write, but it was not until recently when I discovered why I love writing so much. Writing a story is a process that is fully in the author’s hands. The story may be influenced by others, but ultimately the author gets to write exactly how they wish. The beginning, the middle, and the end are composed, read, and edited. If we don’t like the way something flows, we can easily tweak it. We can erase and rewrite as many times as we need to until it is exactly how we like it. We can tweak and edit until it is near perfection before presenting the finished piece to the world. I simply love t...

Welcoming the Holy Spirit into Your Life

If you find yourself scrolling through TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube and wind up watching a video of someone telling their testimony or about a time they heard God's voice chances are the number one comment is "How do you hear God's voice in your life?"  Well, friend, I wish I could give you a simple answer. The truth is I am still learning to hear God's voice in my own life.  But here are three things I have found to be true when it comes to the way God communicates with me: 1. God speaks to you through his word- the Bible. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness                                                                                ...
