To Annie, my counselor at the homeless shelter, Aida, my first parent aide, Barbara, my welfare-to-work counselor, Melva and Judy, my first professional mentors: I dedicate this book to all of you, wherever you are. I am eternally grateful to you for believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself.
A Time for Everything
There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the 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 a 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. What does worker gain from his toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live.
—Ecclesiastes 3:1–12
