seasons.

"there is a season for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace."

ecclesiastes 3:1-8

"seasons" was the theme of our linC fall retreat. i still can't get over what a wonderful job our seniors did in planning, organizing, and executing the weekend...all of it. despite still not feeling great after being sick for a week, i have no regrets of being a part of the weekend. together we shared and discussed the fall, winter, spring, and summers of our lives - more figuratively than literally. together we worshipped our creator God. together we laughed. together we were silent in reflection. together we were in awe of the beauty of nature. together we recited ecclesiastes 3:1-8.
