Life is a Rollercoaster

Most people say life is a rollercoaster, and with so many unpredictable moments, I agree. However, sometimes life can be a plateau of regular everyday events. This year for me has not been an easy rollercoaster. With so many minor issues popping up here and there, my life rollercoaster has been on a perpetual downward spiral--and it’s only February.
Well, I still love everything about the life God has given me. Yes, we will have struggles and distractions, but God will always be with us. Deuteronomy 31:6 states “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” I love that word because I can see struggles in life that only God can heal. When we trust Him with the easy things--like providing our every day needs--how much more will we trust in Him with the bigger struggles and distractions. Remember, God allows you to deal with more than you can handle by yourself, but God gave His Son so that we can have victory through Him and not by our own strength.
 Trusting God for everything can be a bit scary, but God has placed amazing people in my path just to strengthen and encourage me, and I know He will do the same for you. This year has started out with some struggles, and I have trusted the Lord to provide. He always has and He always will, if I keep my eyes fixed on Him. Matthew 6:33, “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.”
