I want to strive to be like that. <br /><br />As I read the part where you mentioned the rain falling on the roof, it immediately started pouring down rain onto the building I am in. I think that was God. No, I KNOW it was God. I've been having a hardc time spiritually (spiritual warfare and such) lately and a friend of mine encouraged me to check out your blog. I'm so glad that I did. I'm not sure if you'll be able to read this or not, but that's not what matters. Thank thank you for sharing your heart. It truly has affected me. <br /><br />- JordanJordan Strattonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10243648203549184128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-65706541040454402752013-03-29T04:52:46.801-07:002013-03-29T04:52:46.801-07:00Hi Katie.

I have just returned from Haiti on a mission trip to a small orhanage in Williamson. I have been unable to communitcate effectively my recent experience there because words just aren't enough. You seemed to say it all in your book for me. I understand with all of my heart your burning dersire to be in Uganda. I yearn for the children in the village of Williamson that way. It's all I can think about these days. I accoumpanied my 18 year old son (his 3rd trip in a year) to Haiti over Christmas break of his senior year. He too seemed to struggle with how to put the experience to words. I thought for a time it was just his age or that he was a guy but I now know that its because his heart is so full it seems impossible to express. It so precious that the Lord would drag me all the way to Haiti to speak to me. (Or maybe I just dont listen intently enough at home). I am from Jackson Tennessee and the Lord has allowed me to biologically mother four beautiful children and in all of God's glory he has made room in my heart for 34 more children in Haiti that I call mine...even if the only thing I can do for them from here is pray. There is one little boy that stole my heart... not because of the wide bright smile and open arms but because of the pain I saw in his eyes and face void of a smile. His quiet and shy personality just drew me closer. No English is spoken there so communciating with Nelson is a challenge. If you could pray for this little boy they nicknamed Pepe', I would be greatful. I know God is teaching me something here. Thank you for serving Uganda and my prayer for you will always be that "one child at a time" that country and Haiti will be forever changed. <br />Love in Christ<br />Carol Adkins<br />caroladkins@mac.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-90742301663835155202013-02-11T11:31:49.496-08:002013-02-11T11:31:49.496-08:00Katie,

I am reading your book right now and it is challenging me so much to love what I'm doing; I just got down to Guatemala to live there for 3 months and teach English to second and third graders in the public school. I listened to God's call to do it, and I am asking Him to change the way I see the world and what He wants me to do.

I have been trying to understand what it means to serve God, the way you do. And I don't have it down yet, but I've learned that when i put my complete trust in God, He moves me so much. And I feel like you do an amazing job of that. Trusting in Him, and letting Him lead you, not the other way around. I pray for you and your children. You've become my role model. I love you so very much. Thank you for your work in Africa, for your work to the families and children, and for you love to serve.

I used to just pray because I knew it was the right thing to do, but when I read Kisses From Katie, I realized the importance of prayer and the importance of listening to God's response. I also want to go to another country and help, even though I am not sure how I'll do it.

We are reading the book, kisses from Katie and we journal after every chapter. One of my classmates had a crazy idea!! "What if we take a missions trip to Uganda! What if we meet Katie?!" <br /><br />My Bible teacher is my Aunt. Her name is Lauri. She was totally moved by the Holy Spirit when she was asked to take us on a missions trip to Uganda. <br /><br />We were reading chapter 10 and it was about how God made the impossible, possible. We didn't think that going to Uganda was possible, but after that chapter we all believed and had overflowing faith in this adventure to Africa. Crazy right?! <br /><br />My best friend, Kendall and I have been looking up plane tickets and our class has been thinking of fund raisers so that we would be able to go. Everything seems to be pulling together. Every girl in my class is overflowing with excitement. (One of the girls literally jumps up and down every time we talk about it!) <br /><br />I feel like this HAS to happen! God is moving all of us and shaping our hearts to Uganda. Being in a slump with God is not fun and I want to get out of the slump immediately! This missions trip would be life changing and I wanted to share this with you to see if you could give us a lot of prayer. If God moves us to come to Uganda, we would LOVE to help with anything we can. Maybe even meeting your beautiful daughters! Through reading this book, we feel like we already know and love your daughters! <br /><br />Our theme saying for this missions trip is "simply love." We would be ecstatic to give simply love to as many kids as we can in our week there. We would love to keep in contact. Our goal is to come to Uganda early June of 2013. Thanks so much! <br /><br />If you feel led to reply, please do so at, gasinn@lpstudent.org<br /><br />Love, Gabrielle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-49090032731454273652013-01-24T01:57:06.363-08:002013-01-24T01:57:06.363-08:00i'am sooo encouraged........Jesus come with yo...i'am sooo encouraged........Jesus come with youre strenght that's making this women soo strong,,,,i am stretching out to the same, just where i am....in my family!!!<br />Thank you Katie!!<br />Love Thea from the NetherlandsTheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09352935537808233814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-25683361429283381472013-01-23T02:57:51.611-08:002013-01-23T02:57:51.611-08:00Hey katie !

There is power in your service in Africa, and I think you would be the first to agree that it is a power not of yourself, but of God. Only He can bring such beauty out of the chaos of everyday life, such certainty in the middle of uncertainty. What a beautiful paradox our God is! I pray that you all may be given the strength to rise up every morning and to say "This is the day that the Lord hath made, let us rejoice and be glad in it."<br /><br />May He be with you in all your joys and struggles!<br />Carolyn in MichiganAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03104159019474623284noreply@blogger.com
