This has been a very quick year. I seams like time calendar turns faster than an old school cartoon flip book. Then were to we find ourselves but just one day older and begging for time to slow down a bit.
My bride and I celebrated 12 years of being married this year. I can remember, literally, how I felt when she walked into the student ministry room on July 27th, 1997. My heart was full of excitement and wonder as I would start a journey with her. Later that year I proposed and we were married just a few short months after that. I'd never change a thing. I would only change our wasted moments. Moments of worry. Moments of doubt. Moments of bickering and moments missed. I would want all of those moments back so that we could turn our focus towards growing even closer together in Him.
My baby turned 2 this year. Two years old. I hate this. I mean, she was just small enough for me to wrap like a chipotle burrito. What happened? Now I have to beg for kisses goodbye. Now I live for "Wuv yu", when I leave. She certainly is my baby girl. She's a constant reminder that God does what only God can do. Provide true and total happiness in life. Every good and perfect gift comes from the father in Heaven.
As we turn the page in a month or so to a new year, I am reminded by a passage in the Bible. Psalm 33:11 says, "But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations." Through Christ our lives become so much better and have more moments that can be enjoyed. Even if the calendar moves as quick as it has been, our moments through Christ can be so much more.
