Quote..

“…I became a seriously disturbed woman.

I believe God is searching for men and women who will allow Him to disturb them by making them truly see the world in which we live - so disturbed that they will be compelled to do something about what they see.

Most of us have grown up in a culture that promotes precisely the opposite approach. We refuse to talk about the painful subjects - child prostitution, poverty, injustice, ethnic hatred, environmental destruction, HIV/AIDS.

But if we’re not disturbed by the world in which we live, we will be consumed with the trivial, the insignificant, and the temporary. We will spend our days pursuing all the wrong goals, living by the wrong measurement of success, evaluating our legacy by the wrong standard…”
