It's actually quite important that we remember what should be first.Thanks for reminding us that :) It’s amazing as to how you said that before the big question, we have to ask first ourselves the little questions.

Firstly, I think that you two are so wise, and that what a blessing it is that God chose that you be here at these difficult times. I just graduated High School (Homeschool graduations are the best ;) and plan to attend college in the fall. I got your book, Do Hard Things, as a present, and I must say it is challanging me. The whole "faking" is so relevent, I've done it myself. Recently, I've had to give up something in my life that I valued very greatly, simply because God told me. It was so hard, and I did it, but was completly miserable and unhappy...then I realized that I wasn't TRUSTING HIM. I was trying to do it all on my own, and feeling the martyr all the while, but it wasn't true submission. I have since repented and asked for peace and patience, knowing that God will provide as always. I say all that to say this: Trust isn't something anyone else can do for you, its a descision you have to make everyday. To live real, faith hope and love have to be present in everyday life. ~Joanna P.S. I just think that you guys are awesome. And I am still looking for my "Hard Thing" to do in these teen years. :) Wow.

"I Beseech you therefore, bretheren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrafice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be ye not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God." this is what we must do. not only live for God by showing it on the outside. we must be transformed on the inside. true you have people that will change their outside by trying to be perfect, like models for magazines and tv. true they try to get the so called perfect look but if you meet some of them their not all that perfect. so to live for christ we must live for him all the way through our life.not only on the outside but inside as well. and this is not easy trust me. I'm far from perfect. I have a long way to go to get to perfect, but I got as far as trusting God for alot. that is an amazing question the verse that come to mind thanks to my youth pastor is (Romans 12:1-2). “I Beseech you therefore, bretheren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrafice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

This was a very good article. I went to the link you gave Kelsa and read it. I got <b>soo</b> upset. At the end of the article he said that the man who played in "Chariots of fire" as Eric Liddell is a homosexual. That is just too bad. "Chariots of fire" is one of my favorite movies and now I don't think I can watch it anymore. I have a question for anybody to answer. If a person gives in to torture and denounces their faith, does that mean they are going to go to hell? I wouldn't think it would but I want someone elses opinion. God bless! Sarah. :) Wow Brett.

I just started reading your book today and was all gun ho on wanting to be part of the rebelution thinking I needed to do something BIG or get involved in someway, but after reading this I was reminded of the most important thing. It starts with the LITTLE things which build to the BIG things. By dedicating my life to follow Christ in everything I do- schoolwork, obedience to my parents, being kind to my brothers. Its the little things I often forget about that help change the world. That is so true.
