Life certainly has it’s ups and downs. If I look at it as a
roller coaster ride, I could say it’s thrilling-right?
For me, I have been on quite a ride of ups and downs and
bends and curves lately. I have gone
from shock and my stomach sinking, to the pleasure of coasting with the joy of
feeling like I am on cloud nine…
A week and a half ago, I was on coasting along and all of a
sudden, I was headed straight down and that sinking feeling in my stomach was
overwhelming by an unexpected life change in employment.
Thankfully the One operating the roller coaster not only
knew where I would be at that moment in time, but was right alongside me in the
midst of the shock.
By His grace and love and the gift of dear friends and
family, I was able to remain secure as this change unfolded.
Although the ride seemed to continue downward, I moved my
focus to the next hill upward. What I
didn’t know is that a great pleasure in my life would happen and a joy that is
new to me took place. Again, God knew what was next.....seeing and holding my
precious newborn granddaughter one week later as she entered this world
on May 20th . Along with that seeing the absolute joy of my son and
daughter-in-law as they delighted in the arrival of their new baby girl!
New life certainly has a way to change perspective on
things. A blessing and a gift has been
given in this beautiful baby girl that is now part of our family. I am thankful I am on the ride of life with all
the excitement, thrills, bends and curves that come with it! Although coasting seems to be easy, I know whatever
is next I am going to trust in the One who knows if next is up, or down…..weeeeee!
