To every thing there is a season Ecc 3:1


My life has changed in so many ways over the past few years. This is Haley! She is the first friend that I can think of besides family. We met when she was two and I was four and I knew we would be friends forever when she spilled a milkshake down my back on the way to the ice skating rink that first play date. After spending the night with each other every chance we had permission, now we get to see each whenever time allows! It's so special to have a friend that has known you for so long... through the bangs, huge bows, glasses, braces, pimples, frizz, and more.
 Five years ago this was one of the groups of friends that I was close to; going out with out our parents to a restaurant was still a big deal! We all drove up with the windows down and the AC running because we wanted everyone to hear our cool music playing because who knows, you might see "that guy" on Kingston Pike. All of the fun began and ended before curfew! 

You're informed that when you go to college that you'll never talk to your high school friends again and sadly it's true for me. I'm so thankful for the friends that I have now but I also know that they'll most likely be changing soon. Everyone has graduated, thrown out their mini fridges, Ramen Noodles, and notebooks. We're all moving our separate ways to find out what difference we're going to make in the world with our B.S. from MTSU. Some married, engaged, dating. We came together for a time, shared meals and opinions, laughed with and at each other, danced, cried, sang to God and sang to hear our own voices, conversed, fellowshipped, messed up, and made right. I can't help but see how God placed certain people in my path for specific reasons. He always has a plan! We love you all! Another season we're undeserving of.   
1To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 
 
2A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
 4A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
 5A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
 7A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. 9What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? 
 10I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 11He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. 12I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
13And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. 14I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. 
15That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
 20All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.  21Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
my life long friend Blakerrrs
 22Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
love my Blake!
