Blog of the Week: Katie Davis

I read some amazing blogs. Some make me cry, some make me laugh, some inspire me, some offend me… but they all add something to my life (or I quit reading them).

I’ve decided that I can’t hoard these amazing blogs anymore. Sure, some of them are on my sidebar, but who really looks at all that anyway? I’m going to share a blog with you every week that I believe will enrich your life and make you a better person for reading it (or at least give you a good laugh). It was hard choosing my very first pick, but because of a post from a couple days ago, I have to go with Katie Davis‘ blog. Let me tell you a little bit about this girl.

She’s 20 years old, a former popular girl & homecoming queen, and absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Upon graduating high school, she didn’t go after the normal college or career path- she chose to move to Uganda all by herself to serve the orphans at Amani Baby Cottage. After just a few months, she started a ministry called Amazima which now feeds over 1000+ starving kids weekly!!! And even more, she provides over 400 children with sponsorship, giving them love and knowledge of Christ- in addition to medical supplies, education, and much more. Check out the website here.

Oh, yeh, and have I mentioned that she has now taken in 13 girls of her own? Yeh, she has 13 kids! (The number is ever-growing, so it could be more now).

She has a boy back home in the States that she’s madly in love with, a family she misses dearly, but wakes up every morning with an abundance of joy in her heart because she is following the plan God has for her and serving the least of these all day, every day. Now I realize that God doesn’t call us all to this exact way of life, but He does call us to live a no-excuses, radical life that will cause us to die empty, having given everything we have for Him. What a challenge to me that Katie’s life is!!!

Here’s the link to her amazing, beautiful blog, and here’s the link to the post from a few days ago that I promise will change your life and bring a tear (or ten) to you eye. This girl’s truly incredible, and she’s my blog of the week
