I have been talking recently with someone who is very dear to me...my daughter.
We talk often, but the conversations contained in the past two days have not been the typical mother-daughter stuff as usual. Oh, those words are still there...but there's more.
She is being awakened to a hurting world, a lost world, a world she is beginning to feel a responsibility to. ACU does a beautiful job of informing and presenting many different ways you can be involved in the "betterment" of this planet. She has grabbed on with gusto.
Her passion is contagious. Her heart is full of ideas. Her mind is reeling with possibilities.
Do you remember that feeling? Before you "got the sense knocked into you?" Before you let reality set in? Before you decided you could only do so much?
I am so grateful for her passion. I think it's time the church wakes up to this generation of intelligent, passionate, amazing people. We could learn, or re-learn, much from them.
Do we really want to be missional? Do we? Really?
It's not pretty...but, goodness, it's beautiful!

Your daughter is part of a generation of "kids" that I believe could become the next "Greatest Generation" when it comes to their walk with the Lord.
For some reason, being missional is becoming LESS scary the more I think about it. God is going to use us. Pretty exciting stuff!
