Living On A Rollercoaster

I will never forget the first time I did one of those questions on Facebook "using a GIF post what you think my life is like". Rollercoasters! People thought my life looked like a rollercoaster. I was not surprised as I feel like I am on a rollercoaster 90% of the time.

Today is an amazing example of this; car to the shop $$$ to fix it (the exact same fix back home $$, oh yea), air conditioning/thermostat not working (will be here in 2 hours, 5 plus hours and still waiting), I wrote an entire blog page POOF it is gone, yep that's right...gone, gone. Now all of this could just take the wind out of my sales as under my own power I would just want to sit down and cry (or eat an entire pint of ice cream) but... I know there is a reason for every single thing that is trying to slam dunk me right now. I know that the breakthrough is coming, I know that I have to wade through this mud, go through the valley, the "dip" and soon I will start to hear the "clink, clink, clink" as the car makes it's way to the top of the hill. Peace, the unbelievable, undeniable peace during this turmoil, this ride if you will, that only God can provide.

Now, not to say I don't get discouraged (that was a really good post I had written), I was really upset with myself. I wanted to turn the computer off, go outside and be done with it, but the last thing the enemy wants is me moving forward in any resemblance of life, overcoming. I realize that the harder he comes at me, the more I have my little rollercoaster car on the right path. If things were going to smooth then I would need to reevaluate to see if I was lining up to much with the things of this world and not where God is leading me.

Truth is, I am a rollercoaster girl, I love me a good ol' rollercoaster ride. I love the anticipation, the speed, the adrenaline, the rush. Did I ever think I would be associating my walk with Our Heavenly Father as an amusement ride? No. Yet, to follow him I learned very quickly I needed to be prepared for wherever He leads, whomever He puts in my life, as well as whomever He removes, I need to rest when He says rest and go when He says go. Flexibility, that is the word of the day.

Would you say your life is a rollercoaster? Is this how you would like people to describe your life? Does that seem like a normal way of life to you or extreme? Share some of your "God lead moments". What would you define as the most "out there" thing God lead you to do. Would you be willing to pray for God to lead you and you would go wherever He said?

I look forward to hearing from you...
