I don't like roller coasters. I am afraid of heights

Going home! I am beyond excited but wait... oh dear. There it is again! that same agitation to my roller coaster of emotion. one minute you're on top of the world and the next you're spinning loop-d-loops around who knows where! Then you hit a spot, look around, the view is fantastic and you know where you are. 

Oh how I am delighted by this opportunity to BE HOME! I am honored to be in North Carolina for the holidays and be with FAMILY.(this part of the roller coaster, I love! because it is safe and familiar! Full of memories and good times.) My brothers, sister, mom, dad, aunts, uncles, grandparents and Mimi; all of whom dwell in my heart for eternity AND BEYOND (I hope you caught that quote). Right when I begin to get the giddy bubbles in my belly thinking about being back in NC, I remember... I have a family here now. I have memories, familiarity, adventure and I am going to miss it, oh bother! There it is again!! The loop-de-loops where you're upside down and you think the seat belt is coming off. oh but you have to remember dear friend, that all loops stop at some point!


Now here's the question, Will this roller coaster ever end? of course not ha! because you are eighteen years old and life is just beginning.. oh and that is another subject all together. The possibilities of life, the new steps taken, the adventure, the world at my finger tips! oh the glorious life ahead of me; I have made the ever so bold decision that life is good, even when it is hard. Even when I am stuck at the top of a broken roller coaster, or feeling nauseous from my fear of heights. Life is good. 


Life is good, because God is good and so I know, that although I feel I am on a roller coaster of emotions that just won't end, I know it will be okay because God is good and he conducts this roller coaster. I just have to trust Him and know that although I am afraid of roller coasters. "all things work for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose" (romans 8:28) I love him enough to continue the ride AND enjoy every minute of it. plus he makes amazing seat belts that keep me safe :) the perfect ride...for the most fearful passenger!
