Before, you were weak. You only relied on yourself. Everything you tried to move wouldn't budge, and everything against you would defeat you in seconds. You couldn't keep up; you were left behind in the race of life.
Now, you are strong. You rely on Him. It is not your strength, but His infinite, mighty power that moves mountains, breaks chains, protects from adversity, and gives you the strength to run the good race. Before, you were weak. Then, He picked you up from the dust. Now, He provides a way. Verses to see: Psalm 28:7 1 John 4:4 Romans 8:28 1 Peter 5:7 Philippians 4:6-7

After I returned from my first international mission trip, I was inspired. I came back to the States upset, because I wanted to stay in Brazil forever! There was just so much more I could do, and 10 days was not enough. I came home, wanting to do more, but not knowing how. My mom came to me and suggested I read this book, Kisses from Katie.
Kisses from Katie is a true story about a young woman who decided to go on a mission trip before she graduated high school. When Katie Davis, only 18 years old at the time, traveled to Uganda and helped at an orphanage for Christmas break her senior year, she fell in love with the children, the culture, the country… everything! When she returned to the States, she couldn’t stand being away from Uganda. She went back to Africa to teach at a school and was only going to stay for a year and then return to go to college, but after 6 years of being in Uganda, Katie has adopted 13 Ugandan orphans. To care for all of the children in her community, she founded Amazima Ministries International. Her story of faith and family is absolutely touching and inspiring. She is now 27 years old and got married only 2 years ago. Along with Kisses from Katie, she has also written Daring to Hope: Finding God's Goodness in the Broken and the Beautiful, which is set to publish in October. Amazima Ministries www.amazima.org |
