New Journey... Timing is everything.

Ecclesiastes 3 tells us that TIMING is everything:

1 There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under the heavens:

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 from embracing,

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.

9 What do workers gain from their toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet[a] no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. 13 That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. 14 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.

There are a few things that stuck out to me in this scripture....

11 He has made everything beautiful in its time.

Right here I can CERTAINLY see myself and the anxiousness in my heart. I want things when I want it! I have truly suffered for it. We should take the time to enjoy the moments of space that God inserts in our life. Space and time are Good! (I'm talking to myself)

Today I am asking God to help me to see timing. To be patient and allow life to work things out for me.

I have found myself in a place of emptiness because I am RUSHING things that need to take time! Because of this my heart has grown heavy and I just don't want to help anyone, do anything or even pray for anyone..... sad right! Well, after I took a moment to review me the song "Anyway" by Martina McBride was brought to my memory. I thank God for it. Enjoy these lyrics and I hope you are just as encouraged as I was!

Anyway

You can spend your whole life building

Something from nothin'

One storm can come and blow it all away

Build it anyway

You can chase a dream that seems so out of reach

And you know it might not ever come your way

Dream it anyway

God is great, but sometimes life ain't good

When I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should

But I do it anyway

I do it anyway

This world's gone crazy and it's hard to believe

That tomorrow will be better than today

Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all your heart

For all the right reasons

In a moment they can choose to walk away

Love 'em anyway

God is great, but sometimes life ain't good

When I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should

But I do it anyway

Yeah, I do it anyway

You can pour your soul out singing a song you believe in

That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang

Sing it anyway

Yeah, sing it anyway

I sing, I dream

I love

Anyway
