A time for everything ....

Lately I have been having a whirlwind of emotions as you can read below haha, but tonight I am reminded of this...

A Time for Everything
In Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8 it says,
"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."

..."He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end." chapter 3 verse 11

and it calms my soul.

Are we trusting Him through this season? Are we allowing Him to transform us and to change us? Don't we believe that we were made for eternity and that this earth will never satisfy completely satisfy us?

Now that is better than any anxiety medicine on the market...

Love,
Jessica
