A Time for Everything

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to week, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lost; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
~Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

There is a time for everything that happens. This scripture popped into my head early this week. It really sums up a lot of what I have learned. I have learned so many things this past summer.

I've learned that:
Sometimes you have to let people go, even though you thought you'd keep them around for ever and ever
My priorities are starting to change and have become different than many others
Boys shouldn't be one of my top priorities
Sometimes people will let you down, and you will be hurt but that's okay
I'm a complete worry wart over little tiny things
The bad times will end
Good memories should be treasured and the bad forgotten
The good is always mixed in with the bad
Time is a strange thing
There is a time for everything and everyone
God's Timing is the BEST Possible timing out there

  1. Glad you posted this Maris! I am currently going through a "timing lesson" in my life right now too. It is hard to know what is the MOST important thing at a certain time and what is less important, but you are so right that God's timing and direction will never lead you astray. You are doing great; keep up the hard work at your summer jobs. Love you my little sis!
