This is one of the most beautiful blog...Dear Katie,<br />This is one of the most beautiful blog posts I have ever read. I tried to repost the link to facebook so my friends could read it, and facebook says it has blocked the link due to content and spam. I have tried multiple times and in multiple formats, but each time it is blocked. <br />I wanted to private message you, but was unable to on twitter. Hopefully your content moderators will be able to go on the site and see what the problem is. I certainly hope and pray that it is not a ploy to block the Good News of Jesus Christ that you share with love and joy on a daily basis.<br />We love your ministry and have recently joined your "support a student" program. We have a picture of "Thomas" on our wall at home and we pray for him that he will be able to go to school. My girls are so proud of "their" Ugandan school boy :)<br />Blessings to you,<br />Jennifer ArringtonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-13912470794192339312013-01-11T06:57:38.346-08:002013-01-11T06:57:38.346-08:00I love youI love youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-75730695785343732002012-09-25T13:09:32.303-07:002012-09-25T13:09:32.303-07:00Katie, Thank you SO much for your blog!

God Bless you, my prayers are with each night from now on. I attend the First Baptist Church of Elk Grove, California and we packed 1,000 Care Giver AID packages that were sent to Ugunda. I sure hope that received some of them. I plan on going on your web site and donating and buying your wonderful things for gifts to my family.

I'm not sure what to write... usually once I start writing, a novel is produced, but I'm trying to be sensitive to the fact that you have 1,000,000 fans and an incredibly busy life! :) In a nutshell, I'm a Kindergarten teacher in Suriname, South America (little country above Brazil) and have been for 2 years now (I'm from Memphis). I graduated college telling God I would follow Him wherever He led me, and it just happened to be to this little Dutch country. It's good. It's home now. There's just this part of me inside that feels there's more... something maybe I'm missing, or perhaps just something God is stirring within me for a time to come. I don't know. Anyway, in saying that, I'm drawn to your book and your blog. I read your book through once and, when I have time, I am slowly going through it again, intentionally noting the parts that touch my heart the most. A friend of mine said she hears and sees me when she reads your words, but I don't know; I haven't embraced courage through Him like you seem to have. All I know is that your words speak to me and I cry these tears that just make me want to get up and praise Him and move mountains in His name and.... oh, I don't know. I'm already rambling. Basically, thank you. for everything, but mainly for being real. for taking the first step. and the second. And, I can imagine with your fan base that I will not be the first to ask this, but do you need any help in what you are doing? Ha, I just realized how that sounded- OF COURSE you need help! :) Don't we all? What I mean is.. do you need someone to come there and live and work alongside you and your ministry there? I am totally just putting it out there in question.. you might get 50 offers a day by people emotionally moved by your words and desperately wanting to help out in some way. I don't know, but I just feel the need to at least inquire. I am jealous of your opportunities to serve, BUT I know that I have my own, wherever I am. They don't all look the same; it's just that yours touch a deep place in my heart. <br /><br />Wow, I just realized I wrote a long paragraph (i'm bad about spacing it out, sorry). Thank you for sharing this particular story. I've wanted to write you for many months now, but didn't want to do it flippantly. I wanted God to keep speaking before I did. I chose this story of all to write on because I think it spoke to me the most. I printed it out several months ago and shared with my teenagers at youth group one night. I showed your pictures from it as well. They were attentive and asked many questions, most I couldn't answer. The point is, they were listening. <br /><br />So anyway, I better go before this gets longer. If nothing else comes from this comment, at least I know I shared my heart to a soldier in Christ that Jesus has spoken through to me numerous times. Go strong in Him, sista!<br /><br />~Stephanie <br />stephanieeileen219@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-65299943503333434012012-06-22T05:52:14.704-07:002012-06-22T05:52:14.704-07:00Hey Katie.

I've just finished. The stories are captivating–and the pictures speak even louder to me, a very visually inclined person. It has made me think. A LOT. It has led me to do some research and gather information on various things like aids, and adoption. It has made me remember to be grateful for the cloudy days as well as the clear. It has led me to share with my friends and family about things I've only recently learned. It has strengthened my desire–my longing–for missions. It has changed my heart–and life–in so many ways! I wish that you could only see how much!<br /><br />May our Lord continue to bless you and your family! You will be in my thoughts, and prayers–I will never forget you!Victoria Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045919780154453420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-17558122676842155672012-03-16T10:30:49.573-07:002012-03-16T10:30:49.573-07:00I can hardly read your post without tearing up!

I resonate deeply with your heart and am so challenged and refreshed by your authenticity, rawness, and genuine faith truly living out the pages of scripture. The Lord has been stirring and messing with me and your heart and book have been another instrument of His in carving new dreams and purposes; His dreams and purposes for me. Wrecking me.
