Radical

My January book read is complete…Yes in mid- February.

Radical by David Platt was my first book this year mostly a roll

over from last year since Brad read it in December and could

not stop talking about it.

I was hooked when I read, "It will be better not just

 for the poor but for you also when you abandon the stuff

 you are holding on to." The American Dream vs. God's
Desire for our lives. It's rough and straight forward. It's
upsetting and well radical. 

How do I serve God daily and focus on storing
up treasures in our eternal home while living in 
a society whose emphasis in on bigger, better, and more!
More! More!

How much is enough to give away? When so many are starving and lost.
How little can I truly live on? When everyone around is 
focused on increasing their own wealth.
How does God want me to serve from here? Or do 
I have to go across the world in order to serve him?
All thoughts that have come up while reading this one.

I'm excited to start the next book for 2015, but also praying for

guidance and discernment on how God desires to use me. Whether

in my community or in another country.
