Seasons

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing "...... Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Every year we go through four seasons, winter, spring, summer, and fall. Those seasons can come with a lot of things such as a new job, a good financial opportunity, a newborn baby, devastation, be lonely, or a loss of something. This season I lost my sister; she died last Sunday because of two cars were drag racing around her car on the highway. She left behind my niece who is only five years old. Now it’s my turn to part of the weight and plays not only the uncle roll but daddy roll. Since my sister died I gain more strength, maturity, and ambition in myself. Just by her death I'm highly motivated such as doing better than what I am in school, even though I'm doing good, but there is nothing wrong with doing better, so I'm chasing after everything. My sister was in school, and now it’s my turn to actually do it for the both of us. This season might be sad because she's transitioned to Heaven, but this season is also a good soon. My family is closer than ever. People also gained a relationship with God by her death. Her going home service was so beautiful. Over 700 people attended her funeral, and she loved flowers, so family and friends bought purple (which was her favorite color) for the funeral. I just want to say even though a season might come of bad, think of the positives aspects in your life and gain that strength to overcome what you’re going through.
