to every season - turn, turn, turn.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

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

i always seem to look back at the past a lot or constantly dream and wonder about my future. what about the joy of living in the now...of taking in every day, every moment that God has given me. there may be a time to reminisce in the past and a time to anticipate the future but for the most part i need to live in the present season. i wonder if this is hard for others as it is for me. and this time, right now, is rather good :) 

With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us. ~ Alexandar Graham Bell

It's only possible to live happily ever after on a day-to-day basis! ~Unknown


what time is it for you?
