Eventful...

..is a word for 2012, no matter who and where you are, or were.

Everyone that I know seems to have had something happen in their life during 2012 which has been profound, or life changing...

...I have...lots...

I said in church a few months ago, testimonies are wonderful encouragements to baby Christians, but testimonies are in fact living entities.  If your testimony isn't living, breathing, screaming, crying, kicking, jumping, glory filled evidence of your walk with Christ, in the word of the wise, yer doin' it wrong.

And He never said it wouldn't be painful.

I've also said I want to burn away all the bad stuff that happened, and leave the refined silver or purified gold...

...but in fact, amongst the rubble is experience, and I've always said how valuable that is.

So.  A fond farewell to 2012, not the slamming door that I wanted it to be originally, for given some time to think it over, He is moulding me into what He wants me and He hasn't finished yet, that was just a start.  For from what I was, will become something new, and for the first time I'm actually excited about what could be round the corner.

I've also re-read what I wrote on 31 December 2011.  What I was referring to in that post was the conviction that God would likely tell me to move on, and 2012 was that testimony.

Yes, testimonies are living entities.   And eventful.
