Daring to Hope

 So I stared reading Katie Davis Majors blog in 2008 when I was a new mom and I found her words so inspiring and they challenged  me in my relationship with God. I loved her honesty and how much she loved the people in Uganda and how all this happened because she listened to God what he wanted for her life.

 Her First book Kisses From Katie the same title as her blog was so good and I loved hearing all the amazing things that God was doing in her life. I felt like I was there with her experiencing the joy and the trials with her and it made me think about what God wanted for me. So I was really excited when I learned her publisher WaterBrook and Multnomah  was putting together a launch team I really wanted to be on it. So when I got the email saying I was pick to be part of the Launch team for her new book Daring to Hope I was so excited. I really took my time reading this book because I didn't' want to miss anything and I feel like there is so much we can learn from Katie and what she experienced.This is definitely a book I will read and reread because I will probably miss something and I don't want to miss anything.
 I really loved how this book was honest about everything about the hard times she had because haven't we all had those time when this were so bad or hurt so much and we questioned Gods timing because we feel like our plan or view of how things should is better. Reading this book I was reminded that God is always there for us especially when we need it, he wants to comfort us. These are the times the we learn the most because we need to lean on God for support and strength.Katie says" Our hope is our offering to Him, our sacrifice.And in our hope He is shaping us,molding us, drawing us to himself." I love that ,  our hope is an offering to him and I think that sometimes it can be hard but if we keep that in mind when things our tough we can learn a lot and be lifted up instead of brought down.
Here are some links to visit to learn more about Katie and the amazing work she is doing in Uganda.
