I often compare the ups and downs of my life to a roller coaster. Sometimes I can see the next curve and other times there is a blind hill that once you reach the top, the bottom is invisible. Sometimes your arms are in the sky for the thrill of the ride and other times you knuckles are white from the grip on the chicken bar.
The tilt-a-whirl perhaps a little more predictable, but equally stomach churning and challenging to figure out when the centrifical force will come to an end. Sometimes you pull on the centre column to make the world spin out of control and other times you try to grip it to slow the dizzying sensation of the world whizzing by.
Either way, regardless of the path, the unpredictability or the uneasiness or confidence we tackle things with, Jesus is the constant. It is our faith that we need to hold on to. He is there no matter if we think all is well or if we desperately need to lean on Him.
For it's by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.
- Eph. 2:8
