A Time For Everything

A flashback on my previous blog post.

September 20, 2006. When I first heard this song, it gave me the chills and it stirred up my soul. Kasi ba naman yun yung time na malungkot talaga ako, ‘yung tipong hindi satisfied or contented sa buhay at sa lahat ng nasa akin nung time na yun. Tamang-tama talaga dahil tinamaan ako nung lyrics ng song. First stanza pa lang, nakakarelate na ko dahil weary and tired na ko sa skul (thesis) n work ko. Then I recall past victories and happy moments. I wished sana lagi na lang “soaring high” ang buhay ko. The words are just ryt to make tears fall out of my eyes and whisper, “Lord kelan kaya ‘yung time for joy, time for sunshine ko…”

The song speaks of the proper timing of God. Kasi alam ko alam Niya yung pinakamabuti para sa kin. Hindi siya magkakamaling ibigay ang isang blessing sa kin at ‘di pa ko ready to handle or receive it. Kaya alam ko habang malungkot or madaming pagsubok ang buhay, hinahanda lang nya ako sa malaking blessing na maaari kong tanggapin. All I pray is that sana hindi ako mapagod sa pagsunod sa Kanya. Nagiging tendency ko nga na tamarin umattend ng services at magmukmok na lang. Pero kanina narealize ko lang na dapat magpatuloy ako. Sabi kasi ni Mama sa IV-1 class nya at BS nila kanina ng mga co-teacher nya, “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” (Galatians 6:9, KJV). I hope I will not faint so I can reap the blessings in due season…

V1
Sometimes life can be demanding
It can drain a soul inside
But left without an understanding
So many questions why, oh why

V2
Then there are times when we’re flying like eagles
Our spirits are soaring high
Hoping it will last forever
But then we realize that this moment will be gone
Leaving us to know that

CHO
There’s a time for joy, there’s a time for pain
A time for sunshine and a time for rain
Like there many seasons
When there comes a time for change
There’s a time, a time for everything

V3
God will take care of His children
We’re a part of His perfect plan
And if we walk by faith believing
That our lives are in His hands
We’ll keep goin’ so don’t worry
There’s comfort in knowing

BR
There is a season to change
There is a time to remain the same
But Jesus will still be there
His peace is what we all long for
‘Cause He is all we need and so much more
