Sometimes life feels like a Roller Coaster! (Can I get an “Amen“?) It seems like life is a series of ups and downs and twists and turns and loop-d-loops…. Over and over again…. And we can’t see where this roller coaster is going or what is happening next! I LOVE real roller coasters….but…. it does get a little overwhelming at times in life. Whew!
I am writing this post to tell you… I am on one! You are on one! And we CAN survive! And maybe even enjoy it!!!
Let’s face it. We don’t really like to admit that we are struggling with life. I know I don’t. I feel like admitting that I don’t have everything perfectly under control and totally fine with what God has given me, because makes me look like an awful person who is “spiritually” handicapped! (even pastor’s wives aren’t perfect you know…)
So, here’s the thought… This post could be super long and drawn out and I have already deleted three paragraphs that I had jotted down. But it doesn’t need to be. Really, what I want to do is give you the reminder I myself need when I am on the roller coaster…
“YOU ARE ACTUALLY ON A ROCK!”
Yep! You are. You may feel like it’s a roller coaster, but if you know Jesus… It’s a ROCK!
Psalm 18:2
“The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
When I stop to remember that I am standing on a Rock. My world stops whirling around. I close my eyes and fixate myself on the One who already has everything in control! And then breath…
Take it one day, one hour, at a time…
Hang onto the Rock! Not the roller coaster!
Much Love,
Keiki
Thanks for the reminder, Keiki!
