Questioning how I live life

Have read some truly uncomfortable books the last few months. Radical and The Hole in the Gospel have really convicted me and try as I might to find fault with what they say, they appear to be very biblical. So I am currently on vacation with my daughter and son in law and friends that are family and find myself buying Radical Together. Wow.
I so much want to do what Jesus told us and go out and make disciples of all nations.......Instead, I find myself wanting others to come instead of me going. So do my ministries need to be going to people rather than expecting people coming to me. Hmm, WWJD? ouch. I am trying to let all this uncomfortableness settle into my heart. More than anything, I want to be what God wants, but in wanting, do I become something else?
A min epiphany has occurred and I am realizing that I just need to love, worship and adore Him and I will become what He desires through no action or changes on my part. The more I love and worship him, the more I become who I was created to be. I am called to love God and others.
Here goes.......................
