Prayer

I come to you asking for prayers. For someone I have never met but feel like I have known for ages. Her name is Katie. She lives in Jinja (which is just outside of Kampala) with her fourteen adopted girls. Katie is somewhat of a superstar. A missionary superstar that is, something about her draws everyone in. She fascinates many and is a beautiful face and example of love in action. Before I left for Uganda a friend of mine told me I had to check out her blog. I did and her words automatically tuned me in gripping my emotions. But it was more than just my attention she captured. Her story is impeccable. And one that I would selfishly love for myself. God has granted her with the opportunity to love and live with the people of Jinja for His divine purposes. She is a Mom of fourteen, and inspiration to me. I ask that you pray for her family has they have lost one of her sweet little girls. I can not imagine the pain.  This is her blog  kissesfromkatie, if you would like to read the whole story.  Recently she has really been on my heart and mind. As Douglas put it so wonderfully "With great suffering comes great joy." I pray that for her and her family. Pray for healing, guidance, and strength. And for the love of our Father to pour down on her and her sweet girls.
