To Everything There Is A Season

There are many times in life that I have wondered why. Or not understood something. Or something has not seemed right or fair. I am certain most of us have felt that way.

I am a firm believer in God. I know that He has a greater plan than I can imagine. When I have times like the one in my previous post I am reminded of the Book of Ecclesiastes. Specifically Chapter 3. To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.

I then think of the song by The Byrds. Turn, Turn, Turn. It never really occurred to me that this song is the exact same as Ecclesiastes 3. Why I never made the connection I do not know. But for some reason today it all came into my mind. And here I am.

Now may be a time to weep, a time to break down, a time to mourn, a time to lose. But one day, in a new and different season, it will once again be a time to laugh, a time to build up, a time to dance, and a time to get. I look forward to that time. I thank God for that time. And I also thank God for this season.

Sometimes There Are No Words

Last night I met a new friend. Let me preface this by saying I have made exactly ONE new friend in the last ten years. This makes number two. My Babycenter and Blogging friend Amanda , was having a conference in KC. We made plans to meet up. I felt a bit odd. Here I was making plans to meet someone I only knew from the Net. But Mark thought it was perfectly great and even said for me to stay out as long as I wanted. He said it was not as if I was meeting up with someone I saw often. Stay out and talk and have fun. So I did. I made plans to meet with Amanda. I knew we had a lot in common. Both from the board and from reading her blog. I knew she was someone who if she lived closer to me we could hang out. But I was a bit apprehensive. Here was someone who only knew me through the computer. So many what if's , right? Mark was actually the one who said I should meet with her, if only for a little while. So, I picked Amanda up at her hotel and off we went to Fooleries. Great place to ...

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...
