"everything happens for a reason..."

day 174...

...& it does otherwise i might lose my mind...

...a very long long time ago, a very wise woman (yes, my mother), taught me that everything happens for a reason...that life has moments for the good, the bad and the ugly...& they all happen for some reason, crazy as whatever reason it may be; but there is a reason...

...there is a reason God gives us certain people in our life at that exact moment when we need them...He gives us moments when our hearts are forever smiling, and then there are the moments when life makes no sense at all, and all you want to do is scream your head off, or drop to your knees and cry but some where there is a reason...

...maybe the reason is to help you become a better version of you, maybe it is to help you be stronger, or for you to realize that this is not the worst thing that could happen, and life can be a whole lot suckier...or maybe it was just b/c you needed a good cry or a good laugh...or maybe God was saying slow down & open your eyes...maybe it strengthened your faith, or even caused you to change the way you look at faith & life...maybe for some greater purpose that you may never understand you are in that moment, & no matter what even though in the back of your head you know it has to make sense, there is a part of you that thinks that is a crock of sh#* & you are just about to give up; when you here a familiar voice in your head that says, there is a reason...be patient...have a little faith, let go & let God...

lives happen for a reason, so all the little happenings within a life, no matter what they are, only make that life that much more meaningful...

"...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 throw away stones, and time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and time to lose, a time to keep, and a time to throw away, a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace..." (ecc. 3:1-8)
