What goes around comes around

this post is long overdue.

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 weep, 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 lose; 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 a 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

things to learn:
there are seasons of life, they have beginnings and endings, time does not stand still.
there are ups and downs, and sometimes, little satisfaction in hope for the next season.
so recognize the season you're in, don't forget that it will be over. realize that time doesn't stand still nor can it be reversed.

encouragement:
live in the here and now, don't be naive or overly concerned with what is out there, be on your knees and know where God is taking you.
