I am reading Afghanistan: 179 Days of Teachable Moments,
a journal of Florence Robyn Smith's deployment. Each day has a title,
experience and Scripture, in short segments that you can read in a few
minutes.
The book inspires me for two big reasons...
1. Journaling - Most of us go through life, just trying
to keep our head above water, but if we would discipline ourselves, like Ms.
Smith, to write down and reflect, we would see how God is working through each
day, through each experience. I already keep a journal, but this book makes me want to dig
more into my everyday experiences and reflect.
2. Doing -- It is inspirational to see a woman of faith
step out to do something challenging. She did not have to sign up to be
deployed, but the mission field is wherever you are called, even working for
the military in Afghanistan.
Here is the book's trailer.
I give the book 4 out of 5 stars! Thank you Ms. Smith for your inspiration to do big things for God!
