Ride of your life
Rollercoaster’s are fun to ride. The anticipation you feel as you are pulled to the top waiting for the crazy ride where you get tossed left and right up and down, where you can experience the G force of gravity it tickle your stomach and makes you laugh as the surge of adrenalin rushes your veins. Feeling the fear and being scared can help us feel alive.
How often I heard people say life is a rollercoaster. Do we anticipate the ride going up? Do you get a rush of adrenalin as your world comes crashing down? Not really huh. I didn’t think so. I hate feeling scared as life spines out of control. In life we love to just stay on top of the world looking down at others and are happy. But then it is not much of a ride sitting and not moving anywhere.
“We do not know what the future holds, but we know who holds the future” It is one of my favourite quotes that comfort me when the ride is on the way down. No matter what happens if I am tossed about, I Know someone is looking out for me. Somehow he brings us back down safe and sound and on a safe level were we tending not to get in so much danger.
God is my safety belt of my rollercoaster. As I ride along life’s ups and downs I take comfort in knowing God has my back. Every time I go around I learn and get wisdom on how to handle the pulls and pushes I feel. I learn to deal with situations and other people on my rollercoaster. This makes my ride easier and yes... more fun. Enjoy the ride.

Oooh, I shudder every time I real a roller coaster analogy--they terrify me!

Be careful of using unnecessary apostrophes--and if you're going to use a familiar comparison like this one, try to find a way to make yours stand out.

Thanks for this word of encouragement.
