Special Moment

Sweaty palms, the wind rushing through your hair, your eyes closed tight, and the worry of if that little black bar was going to hold you in. These are all things, I have experienced when riding a roller coaster and I have come to realize that this is kind of how life is. You have great moments (the ups), you have not so great moments (the screaming falls) and you keep watching the track wanting the end to be in sight. We really do not take the moment to look around and just enjoy the ride. We are concerned about the unknowns and wondering if we will make it through. It is during this time that God seems to grant you a special moment in the mist of the ups and downs. Tt is a moment that makes you sit back and realize how much he has brought you through and that he is there every twist and turn of the way. That special moment for me would have to be the surprise of Andrew flying in for my birthday this last weekend. I was shocked beyond belief to have him physically here and to know that my parents were behind the whole thing. It was at that moment, that I realized my life was like a roller coaster and I kept bracing myself for the next drop. But, God took that moment to get my eyes off the drop and onto the view. I am blessed to have such great parents and words can not even describe how this gift made me feel. I was concerned about all the unknowns up to that moment and it was then that God made me stop and reflect. “Surprise your boyfriend is here!” So when you feel that your life is like one big amusement park ride, instead of bracing for the next turn or fall, just try to sit back and enjoy the ride. God is in control of our roller coaster and he will always make sure that we make it safely to the end.
