Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Hebrews 12:1-3

I’ve shared before how in my 20s, I struggled with deep discontentment in my singleness. I did not want to be single, and I didn’t see how I could have a good, joyful, and purposeful life until my dreams for marriage came true. Or at least an as good, as joyful, as purposeful life.

It’s hard for me right now to see the highlights in a year that was so low.

I wrote these words in January of 2024, as I looked back on the previous year. Now, at the beginning of 2025, I’m in much the same place.

This past year has been another hard one, and it’s hard to see the highlights.

I’m not ready to share about the specific hard stuff of this last year, but I don’t think I need to for you to relate.
