a season for everything  
So I normally don't post about religion, because I know that a lot of my friends aren't religious or what have you. But most of you know that I do have faith and there are times like today when I look at a bible verse and it just hits me. Totally takes my breath away and makes me feel so much more at peace. Even if you're not religious, I would like you to read it, just because it's from the bible doesn't mean that it doesn't pertain to life.

Ecclesiastes 3

A Time for Everything

1 There 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.

This verse just made me realise that its ok for me to be sad because there will be a new time for me to be happy. Eventually my season will change. I just want to get to the point where I can celebrate Danikas life instead of mourning the loss of it.

It is absolutely okay for you to mourn Danika right now. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You are going through one of the most difficult things a person can go through. But you're right. In time, you'll celebrate her life, and you can celebrate what she brought into your life, and you'll find happiness. That is another season. But right now, allow yourself to mourn, and process your loss in a way that you can.

I know we've never met, but I still pray for you, and I have hope for you, and, if anything, I give my support when I can. Know that you have friends that care about you, even if they only know your through LJ.
