Bride Photographed with Her 13 Ugandan Daughters Explains Why She Adopted Them
How would you expect an 18-year-old homecoming queen and the senior class president to live her life?
Bride Photographed with Her 13 Ugandan Daughters Explains Why She Adopted Them
And she even got an yellow convertible, designer clothes, and a boyfriend. Her parents encouraged her to go to college for a solid education. Would you ever expect this young woman to give up her dream life in Nashville, Tennessee, for a much different one in Uganda?
At 18 years old, after graduating from high school, Katie Davis did not go straight to college. She was compelled to serve in Uganda for a year-long mission trip first.
It was supposed to be a temporary trip, but it apparently became her permanent home. In 2008, Davis founded the Amazima Ministries. According to its Facebook page, the ministry’s mission is to “live out the love of Jesus by educating and empowering the people of Uganda and the communities we serve.” And the founding of this incredible ministry was not her stop, though.
She felt the call to adopt children as a young, single woman. Davis went on to adopt 13 girls. One of the greatest lessons she learned about love was from this process of foster and adoption.
TODAY it was not simply a case of love at first sight when it came to adopting her daughters, as she explained
“I’m sure there is truth in the stories many tell of that moment they saw their child for the first time and knew instantly that God had ordained him to be theirs, and fell in love”. She went on to explain. “But I think so much more often, the action of love precedes the actual feeling,”
That view of love would someday influence her view of herself not just as a mother, but also as a wife. Davis married Benji Majors in 2015.
“My husband’s love is just another way God has chosen to pour [out] His extravagant love on me, another constant reminder that He rejoices over me, and over each one of our daughters.” She wrote on her Facebook “I watch them come alive under the loving gaze of their new father, I hear the delight and the certainty in their voices as they call ‘Dad.’”
Many brides on their wedding days have sisters and friends surrounding them in photos. Rather, Katie Davis Majors were surrounded by her 13 daughters in a tear-jerking photo that serves as a reminder of God’s redemption, faithfulness, and love.
Kids and pets: they are the center of their parents’ hearts, but the pair might not always be the “dynamic duo” if left together.
10+ Photos of Kids & Their Pets When Left Alone Together
In the vivid imagination of a child, man’s best friends are coloring canvases, dress up partners, and pieces of art.
When out of the sight of parents, it could be safe to say kids and their pets would spend some quality “bonding” time together.
1. Dogs become the coloring page:
Sure hope those markers are washable
2. Tea for two?
They were left alone for only 20 minutes and here we are…
3. Daughter makes sure the dog’s eyebrows are “on fleek”:
Because even dogs need to look pretty at all times.
4. Pretend groceries needed for the shopping trip:
Not a dull moment.
5. An hour upstairs of your child and dog. And here’s the result:
Sparkly nails! How fabulous
6. Put the blame on the dog, work every time:
But I swear, the dog did it.
7. Dog not amused. Baby, surely did:
Barbie-dog? Why not!
8. But dogs aren’t the only ones who get makeovers:
The cat can’t be left out of looking pretty too, now.
9. Dalmatian + Markers + A child =
Black and white is just 02 colors. How about more?
10. “My daughters dressed my manly cat in a dress! He is not impressed!”
A grumpy cat in the flesh…
11. The pink explosion:
What could be more awesome than a hot-pink dog.
So do expect a special “bonding” time between your child and pet next time you leave them to themselves. Surely these are moments we can all look back on and laugh about.
