All these resent earthquakes seem very poignant in reminding me and lots of other people what is important in the world. In October, when the first few earthquakes occurred around the 20th, people were like OMG the world is going to end. While people seem more calm about these past few ones, and take it in stride, there still is that looming reality that "the big one" could come any time.
And if it does come, what things have I left unsaid, things I have left undone, or things that I regret doing, that I want to address and do something about? I wrote up an updated version of my testimony again. Last November, when I wrote up the initial draft, I didn't really think of it as a salvation testimony, and I've made lots of changes to it. It seems so much in my life is set, which fellowship I am part of, which groups I am part of, which friends I hang out with... but there still are so many more unset things. So many uncertainties, it's mind boggling just to think about it. Which is why I don't usually.
I hope this past year has shaken up in me what I find important, what relationships I find more meaningful. I'll need more time to reflect, but I am really quite thankful for this past year. So much has changed, yet so much still the same...
