Have you ever put your all into something? Although you question whether it is good, you still have the courage to keep going. You make good progress. Excited, and nervous, for others to see. And then you hit a brick wall.
Or is it a door. Can I go through? Maybe its a window I just fell out of.
All of that energy to get to the top of the roller coaster now goes into my gut on the way down. That’s been my day.
When I think of FAITH – I think of Fantastic Adventures In Trusting Him. And I picture a roller coaster. Good? Bad? I don’t know. But God constantly has me pushing the envelope, and then relying on him. And the pit of my stomach can rarely keep up with HIS roller coaster.
This describes most of my life. A roller coaster ride…up and downs—-excitement and disappointments and anticipation and thrills. A wise person told me a long time ago that the only person hurt on a roller coaster is the one who jumps off. So I learned to buckle my seat belt and enjoy the ride…trusting God for all of it.
We can still scream a little along the way, though, can’t we?
Scream— for sure! And bury our face in the one closest to us on the ride!
