It is, nonetheless, a toy you must oversee their play with so they don’t tip it all over or tear out the small “tail”. The cats interest is maintained for about 10 minutes or so, then they lose interest. After several days of once a day play sessions I normally put the toy aside for a few days and their pursuit is renewed once again when I bring it back out. My cats love this toy.

It really made me realize that I need to start small and God will work with what I'm doing as it goes according to His plan. I went on a mission trip one time and we planned this huge family fun night at a resturant. We had planned for a bunch of people to be there but only 7 people ended up coming. It was really disapointing but we learned that not everything goes as we want it, God does things His way. Thanks for the article!

I had been feeling really useless lately because I felt like I hadn't accomplished any "great things for God"! Well after much praying He showed me that living my life to my full potential by glorifying Him in EVERYTHING that I do, that's an accomplishment! Your post really reinforced what's been going on up in *here*. Wonderful post! I had been feeling really useless lately because I felt like I hadn’t accomplished any “great things for God”!

It is so encouraging to hear. I am reading "Do Hard Things" and am in the process of evaluating my life to see what changes I need to make. Ultimately, of course, I am judging my life and my choices against God's Word, but your book helps break it down and bring it down to our modern teenage culture. Personally, the hardest thing God has called me to do right now is help the members of my Youth Group get their focus back on God. They are very moral teens, but care more about their own pleasures than truly living out the Christian life. As James says, "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." It is relatively easy for us (we're almost all homeschooled) to keep ourselves unstained from the world. But reaching out to the needy? Helping the poor and afflicted? That requires sacrifice on our part...and it's hard. I'm praying for this group, and I believe God can do great things. Keep saying what your saying. We need this! Rachel Hope "For the love of Christ compels us, because we have concluded this: that One has died for all, therefore all died. And He died for all, that those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for Him who for their sakes died and was raised." 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 I appreciate your voice on the web.

Recently I was thinking about the illustration you guys use of holding a small weight, and how it gets heavier and harder the longer you hold it. The every day things of life that we do over and over (and over) are like that....the hard thing is not in the individual action, but in the faithful, excellent repeating. (And now I'm just talking to myself. =P) Thanks for the encouragement Alex. =) Finally I am commenting on this!
