There's a Right Time for Everything

The last five weeks have been a whirlwind to me; however, I praise God for letting me overcome so much in a short time!  God has tremendously taught me how to let it go and live in harmony with Him only.  Within the last month, I have cried a lot, laughed until my stomach hurt, expressed regret for my mistakes, danced with Mom, mourned with my best friends and parents, embraced a new hobby, parted from my past, been silent, spoken up, held on God and some people, let go of someone, hated someone's evil actions and what I have done, loved others and myself, given up my fears/worries, and passionately searched for the right place.  At this moment, I am discovering, accepting, and appreciating God's perfect timing for EVERYTHING.  

"There's an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth:

A right time for birth and another for death, 

A right time to plant and another to reap, 

A right time to kill and another to heal, 

A right time to destroy and another to construct, 

A right time to cry and another to laugh,

A right time to lament and another to cheer,

A right time to make love and another to abstain, 

A right time to embrace and another to part,

A right time to search and another to count your losses,

A right time to hold on and another to let go,

A right time to rip out and another to mend,

A right time to shut up and another to speak up,

A right time to love and another to hate, 

A right time to wage war and another to make peace.  

But in the end, does it really make a difference what anyone does? I've had a good look at what God has given us to do - busywork, mostly.  True, God made everything beautiful in itself and in its time - but he's left us in the dark, so we can never know what God is up to, whether he's coming or going.  I've decided that there's nothing better to do than go ahead and have a good time and get the most we can out of life.  That's it - eat, drink, and make the most of your job.  It's God's gift.  I've also concluded that whatever God does, that's the way it's going to be, always.  No addition, no subtraction.  God's done it and that's it.  That's so we'll quit asking questions and simply worship in holy fear."  - Ecclesiastes 3
