A Time For Everything

There 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 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 for war and a time for peace....

Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 Verses 1-8

This is one of my favorite passages in the Bible. I opened my Bible a couple of weeks ago and needed some direction and was lead immediately here.
At Eileen's funeral the Pastor read this and I was surprised and felt like I was meant to be there to hear these words again.
When I got home I got the call about getting the medical coding job.
This is a blessing, especially in today's economy, to be offered any employment.
I have been able to be home with Bug and this is a scary time for me and will be a huge adjustment for us.
BUT, I know God has opened this door and I am finally around that corner!
I could not have done all of this without all the help from my family (especially Mom) and friends.
I won't be on pbase much in the future and I just wanted to say thank you.
A time for everything...

Congrats for your new job, Jen. Come and say hello from time to time!

It's time! I'll miss you, you were the first to make me realize there was a family here on pbase and it was wonderful being part of that! Good luck with your job and with all your adventures that lie ahead!!!! I've always loved your photography style and originality and comments too! You made me laugh and at some points cry too. Just don't put your camera down for too long, I'll be watching for you here to post something, sometime! And good luck with your art too Bug!~ ~Bill

I haven't been on here too much lately either (just too darn busy or on the road [like now] using a borrowed computer) but I know how much the new position means to you, so put your full attention there, be successful and come back when the time is right. Ttys!

Beautiful and there is a reason for everything, a reason for you to open the Bible and read that passage, a reason for you to be there for Eileen and a reason for the new job! You'll do great, that I'm sure of and just post when you can! Love you much!

Not being on much and not being on at all are two different things. Just check in from time to time. For me, it wouldn't be the same without you. You were one of the first to welcome me in when I started. Congrats on the job and making the corner. I am so happy for you.
