Rejoicing Comes in the Morning


Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, 11-14 NIV

There is a time for everything,and a season for every activity under the heavens: 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 from embracing, 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 human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.


Remembering the scratched out dates on my calender, counting down till our Little Meat Ball due date. This time around we would have been in a new season with our Little Meatball.

At this moment... sorrow runs through my veins (just being real).

I know there is a time for everything under the sun. But when I am in that season of
death, weeping, mourning and war, I'm not to happy to be in that season. I know God is building us up, and making us stronger, that is where my happiness comes from.
The Lords strength.

If it wasn't for God, Peter and prayers... It would be damn near impossible for us to get through this season. I have to remember, to get to the end of a season, we need to go through it. No one said it would be easy, but I'm glad that I'm not alone.

"Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning." Psalm 30:5b

Excited for the morning.
