Just about everyone I know enjoys the change of pace over semester break. Even the people I know who spend too much time working at boring or challenging jobs. A change of pace. Different things to do. There is a time for break, and a time to get back to school and work. Somehow, whether we are enjoying peace and quiet during break, working hard to get stuff done during the semester or busy with the details of life after graduation, God is present in each situation, in each time of our lives. God manages to bring challenges and blessings in each season, all we need to do is watch for them.
Welcome back to the season Spring Semester brings. May it be filled with joys and challenges that are blessings in your life.
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
2a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
3a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5a time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to throw away;
7a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
