and a season for every activity under heaven:
...
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain" - Ecclesiastes 3
most of this chapter is confusing to me and i need to reflect on it more, but this part relates to me now. ive tended to be a drifter between different groups of friends as ive grown up, keeping only a handful of close relationships. which i think is good, because its shown me different seasons of my life and how ive changed, etc. right now i find myself at one of those transition points. i look at people im close to recently and see great memories and close bonds, but i know its time to leave. i like the imagery of how solomon says that there is a time to gather stones and a time to scatter- not just to lose or misplace stones along the way, but to intentionally scatter them. ive had times of gathering friends up and embracing and growing close, and now its seems its time to part. maybe its time to intentionally grow apart. and thats okay, because in their time those relationships were perfect and exactly what i needed. i thank god for the blessings that my friends have been. yet i see new opportunities and new relationships and im excited.
god, you have plotted my life out and know every turn i will make. it is a perfectly planned course and everything happens just as it should at just the right moment. thank you for that. i love you
