I have learnt that it is in these times it is helpful to imagine you are on a rollercoaster.....
You start to feel the incline and you are on the way to the top , your stomach is starting to become knotted at this stage and you know when you get to the top it is going to be horrific. You have no way of turning back....You settle deep into your seat and hold on tight, gritting your teeth and asking for divine intervention. Suddenly, with an almighty jolt , you are hurdling toward earth, turning left and right, at times at virtual right angles,your stomach and brain change places as you go into a gravity defying roll...and then ......there is always a part of the track that would have you believe that you have made it....it is finally finished.........but oh , no.....here it comes again...... as the g forces take your face places its never been before and then..... it starts all over again...the culmination of this trip is ....WHIPLASH.... the gift you are left with at the end of the ride...but WHO CARES? .YOU HAVE MADE IT THROUGH !!!(and yes your body is still in tact.)...You stumble down the stairs a little wiser, definetly older but triumphant that you have conquered yet another fear and that you have made it through to safe ground!
So if you are going through a tough time ,hold on tight and if possible save a seat in your carriage for Jesus..dig in deep , keep breathing and know that he is riding this crazy ride of life with you. Keep breathing and you will come through older, wiser and with a new appreciation of what is really important in this life( with a little insight into the next life too.)
Pray for me and I will pray for you as we journey through this thing called life remembering always...that through the pain we can have relief...through the sadness we can have joy...and for the in between times ?...there can always be singing and dancing!!!
Have a great day..I know I will choose to have a great one.....God bless, Jewell
