The Journey

It was a great weekend at home, but now it is back to the real world. Jackson was so nice to greet me this morning with a storm. All in all I don't really want to be here right now but you gotta do what you gotta do.

That being  said today I want to share an incredible blog with whoever it is that reads this thing. My roommate told me about this blog a long while ago. She told me I just had to read it and that it was amazing and that it would change my life. Yea yea sure... I didn't read it. Emily was acting crazy walking around talking about this girl and her family. I thought she might be losing it. So basically I ignored her and moved on with my life. I had heard a million great stories of great people and I just didn't have time to read about this girl. I am not going to move to Uganda or adopt so why do I need to read it right?

About a month later someone posted a link to this girl's blog on facebook again! I was bored and so i decided to check it out. Nine hours later yes, I stayed up ALL NIGHT I finished reading all of her posts. I probably could have read through it faster but I had spent that nine hours crying and praying and reading scripture and being completely blown away. Emily woke up the next day and I was walking around like a crazy person. I couldn't stop talking about this blog.

I tried to find a place for you to start, but I couldn't pick just one. But I can give you a little review.. Katie is from Brentwood, TN. She now lives in Uganda. She is somewhere around 21 or 22 years old. She left everything that she loved to serve. She now has 14 (?) adopted daughters. She has an incredible story. So let me tell you that you should go read this blog but you should prepare yourself. Prepare to feel uncomfortable with the situation in Uganda. Prepare to be challenged to make a difference. Prepare to want to go scoop up one of these precious children and bring it home with you. And prepare to be moved by the stories you will read.

I understand that everyone doesn't have nine hours to read this thing, but we all have more time than we think. I would challenge you to at least look through the pictures because I know when you see their faces you will want to know more about them.
