Welcome.

 Kia Ora, 2013.
You are welcomed with out-stretched arms.

-

Feels like a good year already.

-

Goodbye 2012.
That feels weird to say.

-
It sounds cliche to say this,

but it actually feels like it was only yesterday that I was writing about what a hard year 2011 was and that I was looking forward to 2012.

And rightly so, 2012 was great. It went incredibly fast and most of the time I felt like I was in limbo,
but all up it was a fantastic year.

-

If there's one thing that has challenged me this year,

more than previous ones,
it would probably be the concept of time.
-
It knows no halt, no limit, or end.
There is no finish to time,
no stop button, or way to pause it in just the slightest.
You cannot rewind it or fast forward it, you are stuck
right where you are, in this vast expanse of collective moments that we call time.

-

It keeps going, and there is not one possible thing we could do to change that fact.
Moments, memories, months, and years pass.
We learn, we mature, we grow, we change - through time.
But time itself does not. It is constant.
It changes us, but we cannot change it.

-

We are simply forced to just keep going.
There's not a lot else we can do,
and frankly, there's not a lot else I would want to do.
-
However, because of all that,
I'm am so honoured that I serve the maker and author of time.
The only one who can control it, the one who lives outside of it.
The one who's timing is perfect.
The timeless, limitless God. 

-
He's such a wonderfully intricate craftman.
Detailed and genius beyond what I can even dare to fathom.
So awed that He is for me.

-

Bring it on.
