Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow (Psalm 144:4).
We don’t look back and reminisce on days, months, or even years, but moments. Here is a reverse chronological (December at the top) timeline capturing those moments in my life; the ones surrounded by the people who have made the greatest impact on me, the ones that God has clearly shown his sovereign hand in, and the ones that I didn’t know how good they were until they were gone.
