2012 was a year of self-discovery. Perhaps it was age catching up. Perhaps it was age reveaLg apparent who I truly am. In the midst of discovery, excitement, disappointment, acceptance, then letting go. At least today I know who I am and who I cannot be, again the need to remember that I am truly a soul, and I merely have a body. There were a notable number of excitable moments. because the process of creativity easily excites me, to simply keep doing till something happens, except sometimes when that something _does_ result, it may not have been the result I had anticipated.

The biggest moment this year must surely be the greatest news of conception. God in His perfect timing answered our prayers of having children. L is now into her 4th month of labour. It is truly a joy to watch her bodily changes occur, albeit very slowly. With the addition of a new life, body and soul into the family, 2013 will truly be life changing. I pray that God will continue to mould me into a loving husband and father.

My proudest moment this year ironically comes from a skill set I had abandoned: the creation of this flat text file quick thought log management system, something that I know will be put to use in years to come. 

As I move forward into 2013 I thank God for the many wonderful memories at ETW. As I continue to glean into the Jewish perspective of knowing God, I continue to marvel at how His words are ever more alive, adding even greater profound meaning little by little to even what may seem to be greatly insignificant historically recorded words.
