Holy Discontent

I just finished reading "Holy Discontent" by Bill Hybels. It was suggested to me by my friend and fellow Haiti missionary, Kellie. (Thanks, Kellie!!)


We were having a conversation about our trip to Haiti and some of the things that we saw. Primarily the poverty and the suffering. I'm so grateful to have read this book-because it gave me language to describe what was happening to me. I'm so grateful that other Christians have gone before me-to shine the light on things that I encounter. It makes me feel so blessed and....understood. When I read something and can say "YES! That is it, exactly what I'm experiencing" it makes me feel good....loved....understood. It's so helpful!


If you have not read this book, I encourage you to pick it up-and answer the question: What can't I stand? And then, What am I going to do about it?


It has given me a lot to think about and re-energized my excitement, passion, enthusiasm. Now, to channel all of that-as the saying goes to "use the force for good". I simply can't stand the suffering I witnessed. Cannot stand it. Cannot stand for it.



And I'm on to the next book-that my friend Cara was reading while we were in Haiti-called Angels of a Lower Flight by Susie Scott Krabacher. I can't wait to get started!
