A Time to Give Up Searching
Ecclesiastes 3: 1, 6
There is a time for everything
and a season for every purpose under heaven...
A time to search
and a time to give up searching;
A time to keep
and a time to throw away.
Well, I finally had to let go, to give up searching.
I waited patiently, then I searched with all my heart, soul, and mind. I begged, moaned, cried, and pleaded with God to help me find the objects of my quest. I was even planning a very biblical, "Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost _________". But alas, it was not in God's will. Instead, I had to give up searching.
That's right, after a month of wracking my brain and calling every concievable place I might have been, I gave up searching for my miserable keys and started replacing them all.
You were all waiting for something really profound, weren't you?! Well too bad. I have no time to be profound. I'm too busy locking myself out of my house...or my mailbox as the case may be. Ironically, the most expensive key to replace thus far has been my school mailbox key at $10, the replacement for which works, kind of. And oh what mail I've been missing out on: now I too can invest in realestate! Or, I could if I would stop having to pay to replace all my lost keys. Stupid leprechauns.
