A timing good for me...

Ecc 3: 1 - 8
A Time for Everything
1There 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.

many times i become frustrated about things not happening when i want them to.
and when things like this happen, i begin to cnocentrate on why it's not happening, why things r going against me, what i can do to make it happen. but often i forget my Maker. that this might b a gentle reminder from Him telling me to slow down a bit, that i probably wasnt ready for what i want.

so what is there for me to do but wait? wait to live, wait to die, wait to be accepted, wait to be rejected, wait for an answer. i turn to advice and start trying to wriggle my way out. like a wilful child determined to get my way. then i m reminded of the metamorphosis of a butterfly... it has to struggle so that its wings grow big, strong and beautiful - yes... so i shdnt give up... keep struggling... the cocoon is not where i belong... but it is a necessary stage i must conquer... so may God give me strength to overcome

PS: o yea, i'm gng to cameron highland on thu... any suggestion of must-see places appreciated!
