Rollercoaster Ride

Life is like a rollercoaster, filled with many ups and downs. We can choose to hold on tightly, and enjoy the ride. Or, we can choose to complain the entire time, making our life's even worse. I have chosen to hold on, no matter what. I use to see people riding on a rollercoaster, and they would hold their hands up above their heads. I would think to myself, are they crazy? But, now, I truly realize, they were not crazy, just very confident. I have grown to be confident in my life's ride. My ride has almost come to an end several times recently, but, thanks to God, I am still here, and get to keep on riding. I am having fun on this ride. Look, no hands, God is holding my hands up, way up towards heaven!!

  3. Amen! I know that I can sit and feel sorry for myself or I can push myself to move beyond so I will join you in holding my hands up in the air as we ride this rollercoaster of life!

  4. I saw a T-shirt for sale that says "I survived 2016". I think you need one of those.

  6. These are almost poetic thoughts. I loved your analogy and I love that you are riding the roller coaster with your hands up relieving on faith and hope in our Loving Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
    Hugs for you!
