This month's intention is Endurance. Why START with endurance? Isn't that an intention for the middle or last stretch of a project?

I think we are weary. The last few years have not been gentle to us, and we don't feel like we are at a fresh beginning of a life stage. Instead, we feel smack in the messy middle of a lot of stress, overwhelm, and unknown. We need the perspective shift, to remind ourselves of whose we are and what we are promised in the hard spaces.
