A time for everything...

Today when I am doing my quiet time, I revisited Ecclesiastes 3. It is just so appropriate at this point of time when I am just simply drained and tired - physically, mentally and spiritually. Really a reminder that God oversees all thing and there is a season for everything that happens. I think it is a real lesson to learn to trust Him and thank Him for all things.

Looking back, though I do have my opinions about my ILs - the way they do things and treat each individual, the way things seem to run in this house, I guess in one way or another they did provide some help. One thing I MUST really learn - NEVER COMPARE. There is no end to comparison. Guess I am feeling so much because I come from a fortunate family that values homecook food, being in action to help rather than by words, priority is on the well-being of the child. That being said, there are times we have differing opinions and I happen to get my way.

I have been asking myself why I have been feeling so negative, keep getting a great big deal of headaches. Guess ultimately the answer is simple. I have been just using my own strength and relying on my darling hb that helps me out so much. Have I been looking at the Lord for strength? With the year coming to an end so soon, guess it's really apt to reflect and see where I have gone eversince I conceived precious Keziah.

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.
