a time to pause

to everything there is a season,
a time for every purpose under heaven:
a time to be born,
and a time to die;
a time to plant,
and a time to pluck what is planted;
a time to kill,
and a time to heal;
a time to break down,
and a time to build up;
a time to weep,
and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn,
and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones,
and a time to gather stones;
a time to embrace,
and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to gain,
and a time to lose;
a time to keep,
and a time to throw away;
a time to tear,
and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence,
and a time to speak;
a time to love,
and a time to hate;
a time of war,
and a time of peace.

ecclesiastes 3:1-8


i'll be taking a break from blogging

my mom & family are the priority right now

  i apologize that my postings have been hit or miss...

(due to the needs of my mom & dad these past many months)

  i need time to get my

 emotions,

focus,

and

life 

back to some sense of normal.

i'm ok

i just need less distraction

 and more time to process and grieve

this loss has been more than i imagined

for all of us

i shall be back soon

Life

I saw this quote at a coffee house this weekend...it speaks volumes.  How many times do I grumble and complain because I am in the midst of an inconvenience,  uncomfortable situation or trial?  I need to know that no matter what, God has my back.  He is in control and I need to learn to be joyful through the storms of life.  

(I think I am in need of an attitude adjustment.)

Consider it all joy... when you encounter various trials.

James 1:2
