What I've learnt about God:
God has a plan for everything, there are certain times for everything so everything has it's place.
What I've learnt about me:
I often try and shy away from the bad stuff that's listed here (weeping, breaking down, losing etc.) but I need to start accepting that these can be appropriate reactions and aren't something I should be berating myself for doing. Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean I should be constantly happy - God has a time for the non-happy stuff to. Recently I got told that when we are called to be joyful always it doesn't mean joy as a feeling, it means joy as a state, just as we have the state of being alive, or being forgiven we should always be joyful for the grace we have received even if our current feeling/emotion is sadness or depression.
