Sometimes I won't make a decision because I'm afraid of having that door slammed in my face. This reminded me to not worry about that so much, keep moving forward, and continue trusting in God. Thank you! :D This article helps me a lot. Sometimes I won’t make a decision because I’m afraid of having that door slammed in my face.

Yesterday i went to your conference and was SO encouraged and convicted of ways I could "do hard things"!! Thank you SO much!! I was just curious have you guys ever thought of starting a DO Hard Things Magazine? I've been thinking how cool it would be if you guys did. I am sure though that you guys are super busy and just got done writing and releasing a book and probably don't have time to do this. I was thinking about that if you started a magazine then the kids that don't have an internet would be able to receive it in the mail and it could be even more of an outreach. Also some some of us bloggers would be able to help with it all! Since it would be a ton of work. What do you think?? Hey Alex and Brett!

Thank you so much for sharing. Sometimes I get sad when I look back and remember what I was left out of or what I missed out on or what I wasn't included in or who I missed out knowing. Sometimes it feels heartbreaking. But reading your post, I realize that it was GOOD -- all of it! It was grace and an honor that I missed out or was left out. If I compare my life to the people who were included all their lives, who got everything they wanted, who got things the easy way, I can only be grateful. Reading your post, I realize what is important in life. And it's not being included or getting on the right teams or being a part of important clubs. It's getting to know God and drawing others closer to Him in the process. It's hard to be turned down or not accepted, but then, it turns out to be one of the best things for us -- if we allow God to use it and to mold us. Sometimes what seems like missing out on something great is actually God including us in something greater. Your comment just settled a lot of hurts I had from not getting to be a part of things I thought I really wanted. And it jarred my perspective in a gentle, yet entirely corrective and much-needed way. A million Thank-yous! (from another Nicole!) Gracie: That’s great. Thank you so much for sharing.

That's what God wanted me to learn" I am in a theater group called CYT (Christian Youth Theater) and had applied to be in a group called H.Y.P.E. (High-School Youth Pursuing Excellence). After praying about it I applied with my two best friends. Everyone told us we were shoe-ins for the group, including the main director, so you can imagine my surprise when only one of us got in. I didn't understand. God had given me the okay. This was a CHRISTIAN group!!!! Why did God have me apply if neither me nor one of my best friends got in? Then my friend who hadn't gotten in with me was told that it was a mistake and she really did get in... umm... okay, God... WHAT? That was the part of my life I'm looking back at going "OH... That's what God wanted me to learn" Through this whole ordeal, I grew so much closer to God than I ever could have in this group. I felt like a totally different person. After taking a break from theater to focus on my school, I went back ready to be a leader whether or not I was in the group. I helped them lead worship and devotionals every Saturday morning before rehearsals, and I tried my hardest to be an example in everything I did. At first, nothing. then, I got a letter from one of my ten year old cast members named Nicole. She filled an entire page thanking me for bringing her closer to God. It made my day, month, week. It opened my eyes to the big plan God had for me. and that was pretty cool. I love looking back on my life and going “OH… That’s what God wanted me to learn”
