I have a new friend. I love this friend, a lot, although we barely know each other.

There's been a lot of pain in the past, though, and it is hard to deal with. I desire to help so much that sometimes it's painful for me that I cannot. As I was thinking of my friend this morning, this song by Mumford & Sons came into my head. I think it's such a beautiful recovery song.

My favorite line says, "...it will steal your innocence, but it will not steal your substance."
Regardless of what has happened to you, you are still the person God created you to be. Beautiful.

A close second, and one that really resonated with me now, comes at the end:
"But I will tell the night
and whisper lose your sight.
But I can't move the mountains for you."
Regardless of how much I fight the darkness, they are your mountains to move. All I can do is hold your hand.
