In the final week of 2009 one news channel kept showing highlights from 2009 in different areas like sport, politics and natural disasters. While having my photo screensaver going on my laptop one night. I was listening to music. Seeing photo’s of the year with music, I was inspired to make a little slideshow of pictures from the year. I didn’t take too many photo’s last year and most of the good ones have been used before, so it was hard to put together a good collection of unseen ones, so there are some recycled photo’s. I can’t believe how quick January has gone already. I wanted to get this done before the end of the month, just a day late.
While putting together this video it helped me look back on the year more than I had already. I was really blown away by what I was able to experience and achieve last year. Something that I am grateful for the way God gave me these experiences and achievements throughout the year. Despite how good the experiences were or how hard they were or how big the achievements were. I know that all these things are nothing without Him and sharing them with Him. That knowing Him is better and greater than any of these on a level I can not comprehend, looking back on last year and other years too. Every year I do long to know God more and to walk more closely with Him. Last year was a struggle at times and this year will be hard too at times. Like each new year, I want to grow and mature more as a man of God. Growing in His word and prayer, among other things. To share the experiences and achievements of this year with Him in His will, which is only possible by His grace.
“What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.” (Philippians 3:8a)
