the Word alive

sometimes, it really feels like life is kicking you when you're down. i think that the last week and half have been rough, with a various assortment of things that have to be done. the pressure that had sort of backed off has returned full force and anxiety seems to be making itself comfortable. but, just when you think there isn't any silver lining on the dark cloud, God used awesome friends to pray for and encourage me. truly, hebrews 12 is coming alive - my great cloud of witnesses reminds me to throw off all that hinders and to run the race marked out for me.
