On Theme Songs and Not Feeling Any Older

I was not sure that this day would ever come. For some reason, I have always had the premonition that I would die young. And perhaps I already have--when I think of how much God has stretched me and changed me inside in the past two years it does seem like I have laid my old life to rest.

But that's not the point. Today I turned twenty but I do not feel any older. It's nice. It is true when "they" say that age is just a number. It is. Life goes on with or without recognition and/or acceptance of the Number.

I had a quiet but productive day at work, went home to have dinner (and cheesecake!) with my family, and even found the time to take bicycle ride to a solitary place that I love.

I think if I could pick a theme song for my upcoming year, it would be "When Finally Set Free" by Copeland.

Feel the pain teaching us how much more we can take
Reminding us how far we've come
Let the pain burn away from our hearts
We have time to start all over again

Well if you would shine your love down here
Oh Make my heart as perfect as new
Oh if you would shine your love down here
Oh I promise I'd reflect right back at you
Oh I promise I'd reflect it right back at you
Oh I promise I'll reflect it right back at you

Yeah. There is something about these words that resonates with me. I love Copeland.
