Stationary Bicycle

Life is moving fast and I'm doing everything I can to keep up with it.


Full thesis is due in a month and graduation is in two months.


On top of it all, I was offered a terrific job in Stamford and the training is going to be intense.


I'm trying to adjust to all these huge transitions and to take them in stride, but the unfamiliar is so scary.
Most of me knows I'm ready for it. Yet, I can't help but to nurse and rehearse my worries.


Honestly, there's only one thing that can calm me down in times like these... 

Ecclesiastes 3

A Time for Everything

 ¹ There is a time for everything,
   and a season for every activity under the heavens:

 ² a time to be born and a time to die,
   a time to plant and a time to uproot, 
 ³ a time to kill and a time to heal, 
   a time to tear down and a time to build,
 ⁴ a time to weep and a time to laugh,
   a time to mourn and a time to dance,
 ⁵ a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
   a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
 ⁶ a time to search and a time to give up,
   a time to keep and a time to throw away,
 ⁷ a time to tear and a time to mend,
   a time to be silent and a time to speak,
 ⁸ a time to love and a time to hate,
   a time for war and a time for peace.

 ⁹ What do workers gain from their toil? ¹⁰ I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. ¹¹ He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet^[a] no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. ¹² I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live.¹³

I need to trust. Trust that these new things are going to be great for me. 

I need to be open. To grow and learn new things in a fresh environment.

I need to believe. The skills I have will help me in this potentially arduous process.

"He has made everything beautiful in its time."

Wish me luck!
