"I can't stand your religious meetings.
I'm fed up with your conferences and conventions.

I want nothing to do with your religion projects, your pretentious slogans and goals.

I'm sick of your fund-raising schemes, your public relations and image making.

I've had all I can take of your noisy ego-music. 

When was the last time you sang to me?

Do you know what I want? 

I want justice—oceans of it.

I want fairness—rivers of it. 

That's what I want.
That's all I want…” (Amos 5: 21-25 THE MESSAGE)
I am now sitting in a hotel room in New York City. My parents left early this morning and I am leaving from JFK airport this afternoon. As I lay in my hotel bed this morning, with all the goodbyes over and the festivities done, my God embraced me and I felt His warm presence around me. He whispered once more, “it is just you and me”, “it’s just you and me, Katherine”. Although there is so much unknown and a lot of nervous feelings, I will cling to the TRUTH and ACT in FAITH because God is more real than the breath that I breathe, the air in my lungs, the pillow that I rest my head on. He is bigger than human wisdom and He is able to do more than we ever ask or imagine.
FAITH. Faith: COMPLETE trust or confidence in someone or something. Faith is like oxygen, we have to have it to LIVE the life we are called to live as Christians. My prayer is that when I here God’s voice beckoning, when I read His Word, that He will give me ears to listen and eyes to see the need in front of me, and that I will ACT despite the outcome, despite the feelings of laziness or doubt, despite that I feel like I am not sure that He even is speaking to me. I pray that I will ACT because my Father told me to and because I have COMPLETE trust in Him.
The Lord Jesus Christ called His disciples and said, “COME, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men”. So I will come to my Father, I will follow Him, I will Trust Him even though my mind is going a million different directions, and even when I don’t feel like it, and I will TRUST that HE will continue to form me into a fisher of men. All He wants me to do is COME, and FOLLOW, and HE will do the rest, phew, that takes some pressure off!
I will be seeking God and fishing in the country of Bulgaria this next month (our ministry location got changed). We will be working with an organization called Mission Possible and if you want to look up their website here it is: http://www.mpusa.org/bulgaria

The harvest is plentiful. I am going to labor in the fields, plant seeds (the Word of God), and beg God for fruit! Please join with me in prayer, that I will be FAITHful to give the hungry people that I encounter the ONLY food that will satisfy, and that the Holy Spirit will bring fruitful labor, and fill empty hearts, and that we all will NEVER underestimate the POWER of our FAITH!!! May God bless you and keep you close. Love you ALL, and will miss you sooooo much.
