All Things Beautiful

I am not sure why I am so impatient. I want to be on to the next part of my life and I wonder "God why don't you hurry up". On one hand I can't stand sitting still and yet when I look back I think that life is passing me by! It is going so fast it seems that just yesterday I was graduating highschool. (and that was nine years ago) Where did those years go?

And at the same time I think I wish I was married and had some kids already.

I forget so easily that God has made all things beautiful in ITS TIME!

Ecclesiastes 3:1-12

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.

9 What does the worker gain from his toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
(from New International Version)

Sometimes I need to sit back and enjoy the time God has giving me in this season of life. Wether that is the busy work schedule or the time by myself at home.

Caleb enjoy this season of life because you will never come back to it.

Savor every minute of beauty in this time!

Dear Caleb,
Well first we want to say it was a "joy" to see you & some of your siblings this past week end! It was a lovely wkend and so "God-honoring"...We pray that all of you got home safely and are well rested by today! We were needy of some extra rest by last eve...we had stayed and gone to fellowship in the area. All around it was all a blessing & we are thankful.
Again, this post is a blessing and our prayers for you as yes, God has a time for "everything"...it is the waiting that so often is the "very hard & trying" part, in the end...it will be the "worth it all time" so know others are praying as you seek, follow and obey God's leading & direction for your life! I feel & know in the days to come & one day when you hear the words..."well done my child, well done" you will know it was worth all the awaiting times!
Now as for these blog titles etc...hum, first it is the expressions now um...my blog title in your posting??? Ha! You know what some of the best scriptures are they are all good, however some are so close to us for certain reasons and if you go look up this blog you'll see that ...yes there is a reason for every season! That is a scripture that my children read/recite to me often times on a daily basis...
Thank you for following God, Caleb & blessings~
