the last few hours of 25...

and I'm thinking of the song by Jon Foreman, Cure for the Pain...

I'm 26...and have experienced more than most can say at 26...no, I don't have a child...and no, I don't own a house...but I have felt the pain of loving others and being used by God to do just that...

So on my 26th birthday, all I want to do is rest in Our Father's arms and let him cover me with healing balm. For I know that the next 26 will not get easier, but will be packed full of His miraculous love.

It would be a lie to run away.

Much love,

Emily Elizabeth
