Roller Coasters of Life


Do you ever feel like your life is a roller coaster? You start out going slow... You go up the incline slowly and down you descend so fast you can hardly even tell the best part is already over. Soon you're going up and down and round and round, wondering when the ride will just mellow out for a while so you can enjoy the scenery around you.

Isn't it ironic that the funnest part (the decline) goes by so quick and that the most painful part of climbing takes the longest? It's like climbing a mountain...It takes forever to get to the top and once you're there, you don't spend half the time on the top as you do climbing.

It's too bad that the thrill part of a roller coaster ride couldn't last a little longer and the painful incline (wondering if something's going to go wrong or you're going to fall out or whatever people wonder when they're way up there in the sky) would be a little less.

I guess it is what it is...and life is full of roller coasters, so hold on for dear life. Hopefully the Lord will be gracious and help us to trust in Him instead of allowing our minds to envision the worst possible outcome.
