365

another year is passed.
and much has changed.

"26 is a good year," a friend told me.
and i believe her.

and i believe Him
and my foremost prayer is that 26 teaches me to believe Him more
because He has stirred in me this desire to better know His promises

at 26.

addi flopped down next to me as i am typing.
"whatcha doin' tam? can i help?"
"sure babe. i turned 26 on sunday and a new year is always special. how is the next year going to be special?"
"i know! because Jesus died on the cross!"
"absolutely."

and honestly, she couldn't be more accurate.
i hope that this is the one reality that defines 26.

a promise from 1 peter
3b-5
in His great mercy He has GIVEN us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance
that can never perish, spoil or fade--
KEPT in heaven for you, who through faith are SHIELDED by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

love Him.
trust Him.
believe Him.
