Inspiration for the New Year

The New Year is a time that many people promise themselves that they will change something in their life. Diet, exercise, and getting organized are among the most popular topics for New Year's Resolutions. What else do they have in common? They all relate to self. Before you make resolutions, I would love for you to read this blog. Katie is a 21 year old girl from Brentwood, TN. She went to Uganda on a mission trip in December 2006. She went back to teach Kindergarten in 2007, and she now raises 14 orphaned little girls by herself. 14 orphans! Katie is 21 years old. She is making a huge impact on many lives. She is selfless. She is fearless. She is serving Christ in ways most of us can't fathom. Her ministry is Amazima, which means truth in Luganda. I want to encourage you to make 2010 a year of being selfless and look for ways to help others. Feed the hungry. Clothe the naked. It doesn't take much to give hope to the hopeless and impact lives for Christ. You can contribute to Katie's cause here. You can sponsor a child through Compassion International here. Giving to others will change your life, and if you have children or grandchildren, sponsoring a child is a great way to teach them to give back!

Freely you received, freely give. Matthew 10:8
