We sometimes lose our bearings and feel adrift in a vast open sea. Remember the faithful ones - family, friends and believers - who have gone before us. They felt what we feel and stayed the course. They now surround us. They know what's in you and the glory that awaits you. They watch and pray and urge us on.

"As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us." Heb 12:1
