I've always been great at it though... It's like you guys say: "Do Hard Things." And yes, I totally agree that the culture expects too little of us. Alex, Brett: I sense the Lord's work in your lives. Everything you post here is uplifting to our spirits. Thanks! <strong>-Josh</strong> I did Algebra 1/2, but I’ve never really ‘enjoyed’ math.

My family is (well as of right now) moving to Honduras after christmas sometime to work in an orphanage. And i have just been stuggling with all the "what if"s of moving away... I am 15, just your average teenager... what if this isnt what God has for me? What if it is just staying and ministering in my school? and this post really encouraged me... i dont know exactly how to explain it.. but it did. thanks.

I looked around and found this article: AMAZING! I especially like this: "Have you really found your limits or have you merely reached a point where our culture’s expectations no longer demand that you succeed?" This article made me rethink my life and my perspective of things. Thank you! My friend’s dad sent me the link to this website saying how awesome it was.

This is soo true because I often think well I'm doing more than most people care about so I just give up,but thats just liminting myself to society's expectations.

Honestly, that was the last place i would ever want to spend my time. not to mention how akward it would be for me, a rather" intraverted person" (putting myself in that box again), to be put in a situation like that! But I kept thinking about this post and thought if maybe i could get through one it wouldn't be so bad. so finally after much procrastination and alot of pleading prayers, i went and though the first couple times were hard, I have come to really enjoy my time there. What was at first akward and that took a considerable amount of self-convincing to get there has become a place that has created unique relationships and opportunies. not only that but i am able to rest asure that what i am doing is on the path God wanted for me and i know i could take on a another challenge because i overcame this one! SO...for anyone who read this and happens to read this comment-please know that it's truth. :) Thanks so much for this post guys,It has really inspired and helped me.
