Do Hard Things is based around a rebelution against low expectations. This word rebelution comes from a joining of two words, revolution and rebellion. The overall point of the conference was to encourage teens to get off their butts and do something...something that would help fulfill Christs calling for your life. So, with that being said, I would like to share some areas God has been working on in my life recently.
First off, I think I have been wasting to much time as a individual. I mean, I don't sit around and play video games all day, but I think that I could be managing time more wisely. It says in Philippians that we are to "Strain forward to what lies ahead". Judging by the way I interpret the scripture, I don't think he wants us to sit in a Lazy boy and kinda chill until we feel like doing something. I think of straining as doing something that might hurt a little bit, trying to make a difference in the world, being on fire for Jesus, and loving everyone with God's type of love.
At the Do Hard Things conference, Brett mentioned that teenagers are the most despised age group in our society. Why is that? It's because most teenagers are to busy going to parties, playing video games, having premarital sex, and watching stupid TV shows to even care about what's happening in the real world. There is a line that needs to be drawn. The way that the guys at the DHT conference described it was that "The ceiling is where the floor needs to be." That is so true! Yeah, I learned alot and I'm sorry I can't express it very well. I apologize!!
Sorry, I think I have probably been a bit harsh but that is what has been on my mind. Thanks for letting my thoughts spill out. Hope somebody gets something from this jumbled mess of words. LOL
