A Time for....

  There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.  A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them; a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up; a time to keep and a time to throw away; a time to tear and a time to mend;a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. 

I love this passage.  I love this passage because I think of my dad and listening to the song on the radio while we were milking goats.  I love this passage because it says so much, so eloquently.  I love this passage because no matter what today is, tomorrow is something different.  Most of all I love it because it gives me hope of what is to come.

In the past couple months I have done a lot of reflection of what my life has been like these last ten years.  I've mourned, I've laughed, I loved, and I have strongly disliked.   I've let go of things, but have held on tightly to others.  I've realized that it may have not been what I would've have planned it to be, but it was beautiful just as it was. 

So I sit here on the eve of my 29th birthday and wonder what will be in store for me this coming year.  I have decided it is a time to be EPIC, a time to REFLECT, a time to FORGIVE and a time to GROW.  A time to find ME.

This is the start of my journey.  You're welcome to join me on it:)
