I recently read Kisses from Katie by Katie Davis. I heard of this book quite a while ago, but it wasn't available at the library. A friend of mine who is selling Trades of Hope jewelry, had a copy and let me borrow it. There is a Kisses from Katie necklace available from Trades of Hope.
This is the story of Katie Davis who says God called her to go on a mission trip during her senior year of high school. She looks into and finds an orphanage in Uganda that is accepting volunteers and goes there over Christmas break with her mom. She immediately falls in love with the work and wants to go back.
Her parents, family, friends, etc. all want her to stay home and go to college, but she really wants to go back and help the children. She ends up becoming a teacher and decides to live there and adopt children.
Katie is in a constant state of wanting to be with her family, but having a greater desire to help the children in Uganda. There are lots of Bible references. I really like her story, but it got a little repetitive. Still a great woman to be able to do something like this.
