Is this really an ultra marathon?

My old thread once again has exceeded 100 posts. Thanks again everyone for all of the support and encouragement here!

It's a marathon, but where are the mile markers?
Still in the marathon - am I going the right way?
Marathon continues. It is me or is it all uphill?
Where is this marathon leading me anyway?
Still in the marathon - did I miss a turn?
Marathon continues. Where we going, anyway?
Why did I sign up for this marathon, again?
Why was there no course map for this marathon?

Yep, that's a lot of threads. The marathon continues. I think it may have been an ultra marathon to begin with. That's not what I thought at the beginning, though. It felt more like a 50 yard dash. By the grace of God, I've been given more time to work on myself and grow. I have certainly done a lot of that. It's a hard road, and I'm looking for God's purpose in this.

I continue to try to look for and focus on the positives in this. I have certainly drawn closer to God. I have met a ton of new people, and made a lot of new friends. I feel like I'm finding myself. I have drawn closer to my son, too. I have been doing a lot of new and exciting things. TBH, I think I've learned more than I ever cared to learn about relationship dynamics, too. I feel like to some extent, I've been able to make some lemonade out of those proverbial lemons I've been given.

We're all just a work in progress anyway, right?
