A few people had recommended I read Kisses from Katie. It's a true story about a young woman from the US who moved to Uganda after high school and adopted several children and began a ministry that sponsored kids to go to school. I am only half way through the book and am already so inspired. Her life was radically changed. It's hard and unbelievabley challenging, but she wouldn't have it any other way. Her knowledge of God's love and forgiveness in her life, keeps her going to help many others. I can relate to many of her experiences in the East African country. I, too, see the great need for helping orphans and needy children. Without an education, a child doesn't have much hope for the future. At this point in the book, she has found sponsors for over 200 hundred kids. I makes me want to do the same thing here. Kids are desperate to go to school and for just $10 per month, that can happen.
It's something I am praying about. So many questions... how is the big one. Anyway, I recommend this book. It's very motivating

Our women's group just read this together and it was truly amazing! Someone had given me the book when I came back from Sudan, but once again...I put it on the shelf and didn't read it! When I finally did read it, it was amazing to hear of her total submission to God's will in her life. And the fact that she is younger than my youngest daughter totally blew me away! I'm sure you don't have a ton of time for reading, but let me know if you want a certain book to read or you need some new books for Eli?
