“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.” Hebrews 12:1

I am starting to struggle because I want to keep sharing. But the more I share, the more in my head I become. Is there any rhyme or reason to what I post?

Still, I have so much to say. These are my present thoughts from today.

It is a funny thing to see yourself one way, and then have to will yourself to stop seeing.

It is a painful thing. It does not feel nice. It sometimes does not seem right.

To run with endurance is the only thing on my mind. It’s easy to grow weary in doing good. To look around and see roses that just might be thorns. I have grown weary. But the weariness, I think, is in waiting for roses where no seed has been thrown. I feel drained of my desire, but not yet whole. I feel drained and am trusting that strength from the Lord will complete this battle—in my heart, in my mind—so that I might run with endurance.

There is much more to be said on this, but I don’t yet have the words.
