So I normally don't post about religion, because I know that a lot of my friends aren't religious or what have you. But most of you know that I do have faith and there are times like today when I look at a bible verse and it just hits me. Totally takes my breath away and makes me feel so much more at peace. Even if you're not religious, I would like you to read it, just because it's from the bible doesn't mean that it doesn't pertain to life.
Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
This verse just made me realise that its ok for me to be sad because there will be a new time for me to be happy. Eventually my season will change. I just want to get to the point where I can celebrate Danikas life instead of mourning the loss of it.
