time

Ec. 3. 1 "there is an appointed time for everything."

there is so much to think about when it comes to time w/me. sometimes it feels as if i've lost so much time w/brooke...and other days it's just beginning. thinking of this passage is comforting to me....knowing God is in control of time. time is God, God is time. though he waited to respond to mary and martha, he came in His timing. though we know not the time in which He will return, He knows very well when the trumpet will blow. though He knew very well the prodigal son would leave his father....he knew that in His time a feast...a celebration...a reunion will occur. although i'm way aware of the time...(the time of the loss, the gain, the frustration, the anger, the love, not-knowing, the depression, the anxiety, the excitement) that God has put me in...i know that it is for such a time as this. what is "this" one may ask? good question.....and i'm not sure what this is yet. for you see----i'm waiting and around the corner, the bend, or over the hill it will come. and as David writes "He caused the storm to be still, so that the waves of the sea were hushed. then they were glad b/c they were quiet; (b/c they waited) so He guided them to their desired haven." My haven is coming...when i don't know...how i don't know...where i don't know....but He says to me..."there is an appointed time for everything"
