I'm guilty of simply thinking about myself, my relationships and my plans with the goal of always trying to achieve more. We are always wanting more, and are never fully satisfied with what we have. As I read this book, I feel ashamed of the way my family, and most other American families live.
Katie, at the age of 19 moved to Uganda to pursue Gods calling. Little did she know that her life would be changed forever. Katie shows a great example of what it is like to surrender your own desires, submit completely and have unending faith in Him.
Sometimes I get discouraged when it comes to the area of missions, because I never feel like I am doing enough. The Lord has been reminding me that missions come in all kinds of forms. I so greatly admire those who serve on mission fields internationally, where they have been called to share the love of Jesus to those who have never heard what real unending love is. Let us always pray for them.
I was reminded through reading and prayer that we don't have to go international to be a missionary. We are all missionaries, right where we are. What I'm trying to get at is that it doesn't matter where we are. It's whether we are ready to fully submit our lives to Him with undoubted faith.
I encourage each and every one of you who reads this, to examine your life and make changes accordingly. Ask The Lord to work in your heart. Let Him lead your life, because his plans are greater than your own.
