Have you ever been on a rollercoaster ride, that you couldn't wait to get off of? I just went to Magic Mountain with my best friend Vickie, for her birthday. We had an amazing day, but there was a span of time, where we both weren't feeling good. I was hot, and extremely thirsty, and my stomache felt like it was doing flips. It was not a good feeling. We got on the batman ride, and immediately I felt sick...I didn't know if I was going to make it through that ride. I tried closing my eyes, but that made me even more nauseous. FINALLY, the ride skidded (more like slammed) to a stop. I made it, or so I thought. We sat in this black room for what seemed like forever before they finally let us off.
For the past two years, I have felt like I have been on a rollercoaster ride. So many ups and downs, and twists and turns, and loops. I have not posted much from my journal at all, but if you just took one little peek inside, you would be amazed at the rollercoaster my emotions have been on. One day, I am frustrated, the next completely encouraged. Its a mess.
Reading back through it, I am reminded of just how faithful my Lord is to me. He has never given me more than I could handle, even if it seemed like it at the time. I have been stretched to the point where I knew I was going to snap at any second, but I never did. My God, is amazing. No other way to put it.
I am elated to tell you, that once again, my best friend, has come through on my behalf. I am heading to Brazil. I will be leaving October 14th. It has been one crazy journey to this point, but I know that it will be worth it.
