in due time.

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.


God truly does have a time for everything. maybe things don't always work out the way you hoped they would, but He'll still use that for His glory. maybe you wish you had or you hadn't, but everything happens for a reason. and maybe you feel like a failure, but you're not. God's using that--in one way or another.

and above all else, we continue to strive towards glorifying Him. whether or not we see the fruits of that or not, we continue to fight the good fight. we continue to reach out towards Him. these are the things that bring glory.

i'm slowly learning. slowly understanding that all my hopes, works, desires, are never going to happen in my time. that nothing i will ever do will be the reason or cause for any changes, any miracles, any epiphanies. it's all about God. and i'm just beginning to realize that i am SO small in the whole scheme of things, and that i'm fortunate enough to just be a part of it.

anyway, that's my ramble for today. kinda going through a lot, so prayer would be much appreciated.

on the bright side i'm going to newport today? gunna see the bestie♥ payce.
