I just wanted to let you know that you are my second role model. First is Christ and next is you. I have never heard of a woman so dedicated, in love with the Lord the way you are. I am the same age as you are and it makes me feel like I havent done enough and you push me to do even more. Thank you for rekindling my light. Thank you for reminding me that even though my child is no longer with me, God does all things for good. Thank the Lord he sent me here to see the love of others.Katlyn Hudginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175690917613064099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-15014168933512316732009-09-14T20:50:47.328-07:002009-09-14T20:50:47.328-07:00Three days have passed since I stubbled upon your ...Three days have passed since I stubbled upon your blog. 3 days, 3 years of postings. Your words touched my heart as I kept saying "i'll just read one more posting for now and then i'll stop". It often brought me to tears. Not a few tears; streams of tears and snot wiped away with my hands until they are so wet that I have to conceed to stop reading long enough to go wash my hands and find tissue. Thank you for sharing your life with so many, in Uganda, and on the other side of the globe.Alysanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-35715813267370131242009-09-13T19:34:36.450-07:002009-09-13T19:34:36.450-07:00Every night I sit down and read your blog I am rem...Every night I sit down and read your blog I am reminded again that God is God. He is good. He is Love. And most of all, He's alive. His spirit moves within you and you so boldly proclaim the truth to us, your readers. I am blessed every time. I'm taken back to what matters. I'm taken out of my little comfort zone in America to the dirt roads of Uganda. It is here where Jesus speaks to my heart and says this is what matters. This is what I want from you. Not to move to Uganda (at least not now), but to love the fatherless. To give of myself. To be stretched. To obey. Thanks for sharing your heart and thanks for being the hands and feet of Jesus.Janellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13915229863085576017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-79884260298128536632009-09-11T17:46:51.232-07:002009-09-11T17:46:51.232-07:00Praying for you in Kansas.

I share your similiar passion, anger and pain every time I am reminded that a child is being aborted every minute somewhere in the world. The children we know here in America are not starving physically, but spiritually, mentally and emotionally they are suffering terribly. So, I keep telling myself what I can do as a mother of five small children here in my raggle taggle neighborhood is where God has me right now. Again, I share your pain and your passion for all of these dear children who God loves so much. And more than anything, you are in my prayers. <br /><br />"Come unto me all you who are heavy laden and I will give you REST."Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08104995414258062444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-39265609203436163242009-09-05T12:07:20.286-07:002009-09-05T12:07:20.286-07:00I am not sure if you get a chance to read all 80 c...I am not sure if you get a chance to read all 80 comments on your blog but I just wanted to tell you how much your entry just touched my heart. I just spent the last 15 minutes crying over your words. I do social work in the states and I am confronted with heart breaking situations every day. I have been asking myself that very same question for the past two months. Why? and you are so right when you say that we should join in his suffering, that it is a privilege. Because I have really been waiting for the suffering to stop. I have been waiting to have answers from God. I have been feeling so helpless and frustrated. But in those times when I am looking into a child’s eyes and hearing the atrocities committed against them, God is there, he is with us in the suffering.

I do not pretend to know the suffering of heart and body you have had to endure but your transparency to allow God to flow through your words is challenging, convicting, and deep down- earth shattering. I am not as naive as I once was to suffering. The church is waking up after a long sleep.

For lo, I would speak to thee, and I have an urgent message to give thee.<br /><br />Go not about to establish thine own designs. Lo, I have already set in motion My divine will and purpose and I would not have thee interfere. I am jealous about My children: Lo, they are Mine, saith the Lord; and ye shall not intrude in any way such as would hinder My plans from working out. Yea, ye may do many things, but only that which I direct thee to do can have My blessing upon it.<br /><br />Resign all into My hands -- thy loved ones as well as thine own self. Be obedient to the still small voice. Thine own imaginings may speak more loudly, but wait upon Me always. Ye shall see the wisdom and the glory in this in due time. Fret not about carnal things, but concern thyself first and always about spiritual values. Truly, My promise is still: 'Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all the other needful things shall be added unto thee.'" <br /><br /><br />something i heard that you might enjoy.Kisseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01448075715701400439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-59962405225180598662009-09-03T05:19:09.224-07:002009-09-03T05:19:09.224-07:00Katie,

God has led me to start an orphan care and adoption ministry within our suburban mega-church here in the South....something so sadly that has never been done but is so desperately needed. Yours will be the story of inspiration I hope to tell our hundreds of college/singles. May God continue to give you strength and everything you need to continue this great work He has begun in you.
