This one is a challenge. I am not a bible person. I am not a godly person. I am not a religious person. The only time that I have ever read part of the bible was in a class in college called Women in the bible and it was only the Old Testament. So I decided to look up some bible verses.....not pleased with the google result of the search "empowering female bible verses." They were all about how to be a subservient wife. So then I decided that my 30 day blog challenge would end here.
My dad called, who is a devout follower of my blog and much more religious than I, and he mentioned the song "Turn Turn Turn" by the Byrds. I like it. Thanks Dad.
Ecclesiastes 3:1
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which 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 time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace
I guess something in the bible does make sense to me and I can relate to it. But honestly is it a popular song from 1965 that I listened to when I was little....not a verse from the Old Testament.
YOUR strength is also measured by the ones you have around you! I beleive that people without a "support group" are lost. Keep this project going!....It's fun.
