Sewing On a Button



I'm reading a book.  No, more like devouring a book.  And today I'm popping in to tell you, you should be reading this book, too.  I'm not even finished yet, but I am confidently recommending that each and every one of you get your hands on this book and read it.

"Kisses from Katie" is one teen girl's journey to Uganda where she loses her life of comfort to a life lived for God's purposes, including adopting 14 little girls and starting a ministry that feeds thousands.  Throughout the book she tells the stories of so many of the wonderful people that she meets, helps, and points right back to the One who makes it all possible.  She challenges complacency and gives the reader a front row seat to what one person is able to do to help, if one is only open.

So, I've sewn on a button.  Right there in the sidebar of my blog, a button to click through and find the site for Katie's nonprofit, Amazima.  I don't post buttons, but I felt compelled to put this one up.  Click it.  Read her story.  See the beautiful pictures.  Donate.  Become a part of something bigger than yourself.






And for heaven's sake, read the book.

  1. Within minutes of reading her blog, I had added Amazima to my list of charities that we donate to monthly. Turns out I'm only 2 degrees separated from her too! I know someone from her town who has met her and whose daughter attends the school she attended. And I immediately googled "adopt from Uganda" and realized, "I'm going to need a better paying job." LOL

  5. Read the book a few months ago and now am a follower of the blog. She is an amazing soul and I wish we could sweep our family away and minister there as well. Or bring children home or.... Reading her story definitely changed me. And then I just read Radical which is a must read as well.

    So many awesome things stirring in the hearts who love Him!
