I meant to include this in the ‘random info’ from earlier, but I totally forgot. Coming to Alabama was such a blessing to me. So many people did the sweetest things for me and gave me such fabulous gifts. I felt not only loved, but treasured.
I got to speak at First Baptist Montgomery, and here is the link to it. I have never seen my Father-in-Law cry. Ever. He cried, I cried, Jay cried – I think the whole congregation cried after this. It was so moving to be there and speak after these people have been praying for me for the past (20 months to the day!!!) since my injury.
After the service, Governor Bob Riley came up to see me with tears in his eyes. He kissed me on the forehead and told me he had been thinking and praying for me since my injury. I had actually met him once before when he inducted me into ODK in College, but did not think I would ever meet him again. Well, I met him and we embraced about my ordeal. Gov. Schwarzenegger, I’m still waiting for you to check in with me!
I agree. Roll tide! and go you! You are incredible!
how amazing!!! i am off to watch your video of you speaking.
Katherine,
God has brought you far and he will bring you further so you can continue to do his work. May the Lord continue to bless you and keep you through all these troubles for his blessings are surely among us.
Hello Katherine. I just wanted to let you know that I thought of you today as I was listening to Steven Curtis Chapman’s song “Spring is Coming.” It is such a beautiful song about God’s faithfulness and his promise to make all things new.
Also, I have mentioned this on here before, but I want to say thank you. God used your situation to radically transform my prayer life. My husband, Raleigh, and I began having many conversations in April 2008 about what it truly means to pray without ceasing and intercede on behalf of others. To make a long story short, God used you to open our hearts to the needs of orphans around the world. We are currently in the process of adopting from South Korea. I hope that maybe one day I can think of a better way to thank you for allowing God to work through you in such a beautiful way.
We continue to pray for your complete recovery!
Bridgette (Samford ’05) and Raleigh (Samford ’03) Gresham

Mine too. It’s a great state. You were a smart lady to marry an Alabama man.
It is so delightful to see you in person – as we have never met! God is alive in you and your circumstances. I am ashamed of my pitiful complaints when I think of what incredible challenges you face daily. God uses your story to awaken me – quite often – in the night to pray for you and others in difficult circumstances. thank you for being faithful. You are living testimonies!
In Christ,
Kim
