I love roller coasters....The anticipation of you climbing to the top and looking over the huge drop with fear and excitement all rolled into one. Then you go over the first drop and you feel like you're freefalling - but you're safe inside the car. That's how today has been....
We got on the roller coaster of life and we didn't know what to expect. Life has many twists and turns; rises and falls; but you are always safe in the hand of God. My sweet, hard-working husband lost his job today. He's been with the company for over 10 years, 6 here in Texas. It's funny because for a couple of weeks we've felt like we're going up the coaster - hearing the "click, click, click"....praying for God's direction in a new way. We have felt like God turning our family in a new direction for some time now, but didn't really know where or when. Its the anticipation of it all... Then you see over to the first drop....
It's as if a huge weight was lifted off today. Like when you fall on the first drop. That scary, but fun ride has begun. There's no safety net now. Time to lift your hands up and let God take you on this roller coaster....He'll never let you go. It sounds funny to be a little excited about this, but we are. This means that God has something AMAZING in store for our family - and I can't wait to see what it is!
The cool thing about roller coasters is that they dip, and turn, and twist in so many different ways - no expectations there.... The only thing we expect, is God to show up in a mighty way....and He will get ALL the glory.
Until next time - when our story takes a new turn....
