…let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that
was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at
the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2, NKJV
As I sit to write, I make my words obey me. They fly through
my fingers, my thoughts thundering behind them like a wild cowboy chasing his
cattle, corralling, cajoling, forcing them into order and purpose. I am
creating a story, a narrative for others to follow. With this story I hope to
inspire and encourage, to stir up passion and determination. I have thought
long and hard about my characters. I have weighed their feelings and tested
their strength. I have wept over them as they hovered between life and death,
and cheered for them as they triumphed.
