For everything there is a season!

"The is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent 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.

For everything there is a season!  Many of you are going through grief of loosing a loved one and you will always remember your loved one but through the time of grief and mourning, God is comforting you and when you go through that season of loss, you will go through a time of dancing and just thanking God that he is there with you.

Life is full of hardships and hard decisions but we have to thank God for the good times such as laughing, dancing, and when we are in those moments of wondering what's going to happen next, just take a moment to thank God for what he has already done in your life.

We (Canadians) just had our Thanksgiving and that day is so special because it's dedicated to being thankful, we should be thankful everyday; don't get me wrong but thanksgiving is a time to be thankful, for everything you have and being thankful for the friends and family that you got to spend thanksgiving with.

God said that he has made everything beautiful in it's time. I'm still in the season of trying to find who God has made me to be and I will be entering into a whole new season.....Marriage! I am so excited and I can't believe it's happening and even though it's going to be an adjustment to not ony Grant and I but our families aswell, but during this season we have to remember to thank God for all his many and incredible blessings.  

When I was on my first trip to Uganda in 2013, I did devotions one morning on this verse and this is what it said: "For everything there is a season. We could have come here for just a few days  but God has perfect timing, he knew when we were supposed to come and arrive here. He has set so many outstanding events here. This was our time to come and to help the needy. If you feel the urge to pray or help someone,  don't wait for tomorrow to come but do it in the moment because God is doing work not only in your life but in theirs as well!
