I re-read a quote today I posted on an “inspiration board” of sorts back in 2014.  It’s from one of my favorite books, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, by Donald Miller.  It goes like this:

“Here’s the truth about telling stories with your life.  It’s going to sound like a good idea, and you are going to get excited about it and then when it comes time to do the work, you’re not going to want to do it…but joy cost pain.”

For today I just want to wade through those words for a while and turn my thoughts to it, like my face to the sun, and soak it in.
