Episode 50: I Signed Up for This

We've all said it. Under our breath. In our heads. On our knees. To a trusted friend in whispered tones. "I didn't sign up for this!" At the start, we genuinely want in. At the startline, we are focused on the rightness of the endeavor, or the possibilities for the future, or the hope or promise or prize, or just something better... And then it gets hard, or impossible, or inconvenient, or boring or shocking or just plain ugly. And then we hear ourselves say... "I didn't sign up for this." Our story begins with a classic bucket list item -- a full marathon. It continues on race day with the phrase, "I didn't sign up for this." And it resolves with a new mother teaching her mother-in-love a thing or two about self-sufficiency and God's strength. Curious? We sure hope so.
