Godly Womanhood I do believe Katie exemplifies Godly womanhood and is a fantastic role model on how a daughter of the Lord should conduct herself. She demonstrates such selfless obedience to God. She left the comfort and familiarity of the United States to discover God’s will for her life. Not many young adults living in a world of privilege would be willing to sacrifice all the comforts for poverty and sickness. However, through obedience she found a new home in Uganda. She completely relied on God for her strength. She shows God to people by demonstrating his love (214). Her life and her actions radiate a glimpse of the love God has for his people. Before even sharing the Bible with an individual, she shows that person God, through her love. She builds relationships, cares for children, plays with them, sings with them, holds them, and loves them as she was called to do (52). She selflessly serves God without looking back (231).
Reflection
I highly respect the author and the Godly life she lives. I admire her obedience to God and her selfless giving. Reading her story I could …show more content…
“Being a Christ follower means being acquainted with sorrow” (252). Katie points out that to follow Christ is to go to the hard places (252). “Joy costs pain (252)…. [however] in Him, even sorrow is joy (256). This was a hard concept for me to grasp; I have heard that following Christ means “going to the hard places.” However, reading these sections in Kisses from Katie, I found myself really considering the meaning for the first time. She also states that God uses us in our brokenness and we simply have to be willing (280). I struggle with both, but brokenness is another big concept in my life at the moment. I have a constant doubt of worthiness. I do not like the brokenness and I feel unworthy to be used by God. I realize this is a lie and that I am useable by God, but in my mind is a constant struggle to believe
