Welcome

My name is Kate VanPelt.  I am a wife, a mother of four, a grandmother of two and a 7th grade math teacher.  I love the Lord, am an active prayer warrior, and Christian music gets me through each and every day.  In the beginning, I would randomly open the bible, read a passage, write a prayer and hit shuffle on my music.  I would be amazed at how the Lord would send me a perfect song each and every day.  It was His answer to my prayer.  That’s when I began referring to Him as “Papa”.  We had created a very close, special relationship.

>Psalm 138 became alive in my life.

Four years ago, after unexpectedly losing my mom, I embarked on a journey to read the Bible from beginning to end.  I was not intending to write a book.  Each morning, I would read a few chapters of the Bible and journal a verse that stood out to me.  Then, after meditating on all my prayer intentions, I would write a prayer and hit shuffle on my music.  The Lord continued to answer each prayer by sending me the most beautiful song which I noted in my journal.  When I finished the Bible, I looked at all my journals and realized God had given me the most beautiful gift to share with the world.

Prayers to Papa: A Journey through the Bible was published November 28, 2023.

Prayers to Papa is a tool connecting scripture, prayer, music, worship and journaling to create an intimate relationship with Christ, our Savior, Redeemer and Friend, the one whom I call “Papa”.

I pray that your journey begins today.

May God lead your path,
Kate
