Happy Sunday Family... Hope you're all doing well? Welcome to my blog for today.
Today's teaching really taught me a lot about timing. The text was taken from Ecclesiastes 3:2 “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." It reminded me that everything has a time and when the time comes, it happens.
Sometimes, I look at how people's lives are going and realise how different everyone's journey can be.
Someone you grew up with may already be married. Another person may have gotten a good job, moved to a new city, started a business or travelled out of the country, then there are people who are still trying to figure out what they really want to do with their lives.
And the funny thing is that, two people can be the same age and have completely different stories, and I think this is one thing we don't always talk about.
There is this feeling in society that by a certain age, you are supposed to have achieved certain things. You are supposed to have a good job, be financially stable, get married, have children, own a house or at least know exactly where your life is going.
But real life doesn't always follow a particular pattern. Some people get opportunities early, while some don't.
Some people seem to know what they want from the beginning, while others change direction several times before finding something that works for them.
Some people have a period where everything seems to be moving at once, while another period of their life may be very quiet. And sometimes, even the same person can experience both.
There are seasons when someone will have money and there are seasons when money is tight. There are times when you are surrounded by people and times when you barely hear from anyone.
Even some period when you are very busy and other periods when you wonder what you are actually doing with your time.
Honestly life can really change from one season to another.
I have also noticed that we sometimes look at one part of another person's life and compare it with our whole life.
You see someone posting their new job, new car, wedding or holiday, but you don't know what their life looked like before that moment. The same way someone looking at you may not know the things you have gone through or the things you are still dealing with.
Everybody's story has parts that are not on social media, so that is why comparing your life with another person's own can be misleading.
One person's life may look like it is moving very fast, while another person's may look quiet from the outside. It doesn't necessarily mean one person has everything figured out. People are simply in different seasons, and seasons changes.
What life looks like today may not be what it looks like next year. Some things happens earlier than expected, while there are some things that takes longer. Some plans works out immediately, while others will not happen at all.
And I think that is just part of being alive.
Happy Sunday once again ❤️❤️.
