Reading your blog posts brings tears to my eyes, and I loved reading this one. God is SO good!<br />I recently have felt the call to go to Africa. I should be able to move there permanently in maybe 7 years, though to be honest, I would LOVE if God could somehow make it sooner. Regardless, I'm trusting Him every step of the way. I'm currently reading your book and your story is just amazing to me. Honestly, you're an inspiration to me. I hope I can follow Him just like you have and have that faith and trust.<br />Everyone there is in my prayers.

I relate so much to your heart, and feel a strong connection with you, through our God! Reading your book the other day, the Holy spirit spoke to me, and so my husband and I decided to contact a Christian adoption agency. When I pray about adopting, the Lord shows me a beautiful dark-skinned child. We already have one child, a 3 year old girl, who would love a sibling! Thank you for obedience to the Lord. You have inspired me! I will be praying for you and your family, as well as Uganda as a whole.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00162440283750133986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-70341638996986781732015-01-15T09:04:07.392-08:002015-01-15T09:04:07.392-08:00I read your book recently and I was greatly challe...I read your book recently and I was greatly challenged, as well as, tremendously inspired. Your leap of faith into the unknown led you to be used of God in some incredible ways. I know that you've faced some hard things but I'm sure that you would say it's worth it. <br /><br />I was thrilled to see recently on the Amazima Facebook that you are now married. This is very encouraging because I am a single woman who gets discouraged at times. It's great to see your life as you lived in the unknown wondering how long your singleness would last. You didn't allow that thought to take you down. You kept going and obviously God has brought an amazing man into your life to walk with you in the ministry He has for you. <br /><br />So thank you, Katie, for living for Jesus Christ.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-272447394203204302015-01-13T20:28:05.138-08:002015-01-13T20:28:05.138-08:00How marvelous God is in all His doings.

I wish I could go to Uganda and visit you and everyone that is enrolled in your program, I would also like to meet your kids. I live in Missouri, Kansas and would love if you read some of my books.

She was hospital 6 months before coming home with a tracheostomy and a g-tube. Now she turns 11 in a week. She can breathe on her own, eat anything she wants to, and is a healthy, growing girl. My heart sings for Simon who didn't have access to all the amazing medical care we did; yet he had a God who wanted to do amazing things for him and through him.

What you are doing is truly amazing. The way you help people like Simon is leaving me speechless. But the most amazing part to me is that you don't take any credit. You give it all to the Lord. He is moving you in incredible ways. You are so courageous to give up everything so you can follow the Lord. I am only 13 but you have changed my life and I hope, by Gods grace, I will be doing something like you are doing now, one day. You have really strengthen my relationship with Christ.

I continue to share your sweet words and your book with many people that I hold dearly in my heart. I am not a senior in high school and plan on entering into mission work myself soon. I've been praying for you continuously throughout your journey of pouring into the lives of those in Uganda. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, experiences, and heart with me and so many others through your book and blog. The Lord truly works through you in such incredible ways. Your story is such a strong depiction of how He can work through us to further His kingdom and bring glory to His name. Your selfless actions and humble heart are something I look up to so greatly. I hope you and your girls have a very merry Christmas and an awesome new years. Praying that the Lord can continue to restore your people in Uganda and that this new year is full of new joy.

Your heart is a treasure and one that shows how great our God is. I read your book over a year ago and it still has been one of the most influential books I've read. I've shared it with many of my friends who have a heart for the Lord and for mission work and we all look up to you very much. You have taught me how to be faithful to what the Lord calls us to and I am very thankful for that. I have been praying for you and for all your sweet girls and kids in Uganda. You glorify Him in such a wonderful way.

I am absolutely blown away in awe of our Father's hand over your life and your unfailing trust in whatever task he puts in front of you. You are such an incredible vessel of God's grace and love to the nations.<br /><br />I'm graduating high school next year, and God has been pressing on my heart the desire to help developing nations for a while now, ever since I first heard Proverbs 31:8-9 and I could not stop it's truth - that I am so blessed in comparison to millions in our world - from weighing down on my heart. I'm thinking of spending a year after school volunteering in Africa, then seeing where God leads me.<br /><br />So finding your blog came as a timely answer to prayer as I'm considering my future, and maybe another hint from God for me to seriously consider how I can use my abundant blessings to love and serve all of God's people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-71176381537303526682014-12-08T17:32:34.670-08:002014-12-08T17:32:34.670-08:00Thank you so much, Katie!

If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky – as I lift up my eyes to Him – and as I accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no trial will ever disarm me, no circumstance will cause me to fret – for I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is. That is the rest of victory.”<br /><br />-Washingtonian medical studentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-60898608811277970002014-12-01T03:02:15.254-08:002014-12-01T03:02:15.254-08:00I wanted to let Katie know I was impressed by her ...I wanted to let Katie know I was impressed by her story.
