a growing uneasiness

I'm not sure that I have the words to paint the picture of what's going on in my heart today. There's been something stirring for a while, and God through another log on the fire today.

I watched the dvd of Bill Hybels' talk from the Leadership Summit today. Great stuff, really, about God's call on our lives flowing from a Holy Discontent. The big question at the end of it all was something along the lines of

what is it that I simply cannot stand anymore?

That's a big question, and should lead to identifying my calling in life.
Hybels talked about his own experience with holy discontent, seeing so many churches in the US who couldn't care less about people who were far from God. His response was to start a church that does care about those people.

I spent a couple of hours today walking in the woods, reading my Bible, searching my heart, trying to answer that question: What do I see in the world that I can no longer stand? There are lots of causes that deserve the attention of the church, but what is it that I want to give my life to, that I want to expend my energies trying to re-align with God's plan, working with God's Spirit to effect change?

I wish that I had an easy answer, but I think I am making progress...
