cue reflective blog, titled 2012

well to say i've been ignoring the blog for the past however many months is a lie. I check it lots, and even begin a blog or two, but there hasn't been an awful lot to talk about, but then there's also been too much to talk about - so i haven't really bothered. But now its hit december its time for the 'this was the hardest year of my life blog' or the 'this year was incredible blog' or more commonly, a mix of the two.

this year has been incredible though, and hard. but every year that passes it seems thats its both harder than the year before in its own new way, but so much more beautiful too. that's the thing with growing, and i really do love it. i'd hate for life to just get easier and easier every year, i have no doubt that minus a few hiccups that may come my way life will consistently get better and better - but not easier. i love being challenged, i love having to work hard for something, and at the time i can't say i always love it but i love life's struggles. not the struggles themselves, but more the satisfaction of walking out the other side of them. i love being reminded that i do have to depend on God, and i love looking back on myself and realising how much i've learnt and grown.

can't say every single day of 2012 has been beautiful. but every single day i've been in the presence of someone so ridiculously incredible - and its all because of him that 2012 has been a beauty.
