Life's Roller coaster....

Have you ever felt like your life is ever a roller coaster? Well i sure do, it has had its fair share of ups but mostly downs. I feel like it all started when my mom passed away. She passed away suddenly, she was not ill or nothing. I still to this day ask the lord why he did such as a thing, but i've come to realize god already planned our lives. Not to far after she passed away then we lost our dog of 15 years, which was yet another devastating loss. After that the roller coaster began. Finishing out the end of my sophomore year while coping with the shock of losing my mom was a big accomplishment. Then due to some negative things that where said, i lost most of my friends. Graduating high school to getting a scholarship and going to pastry school. From struggling with a verbally abusive relationship for 3 years to moving to Virgina last year for my job. I love being a pastry cook but now i have been taken out of the kitchen due to pain that is caused by some unknown reason. I also found the lord this past year, and was baptized.Now slowly overcoming depression to living in a crazy hectic household where peace and relaxation after a long day is non-existent. I guess some days i just want to ask the lord, why? why do you make life so hard? But then i realize that god would never give us more than we can handle. Through all life's experience i can say i have become a stronger person but still struggle with many unanswered questions. Bellow is a bible verse that helps me battle through my emotions.

God Bless


“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

[Isaiah 41:10 NIV]

Wow! Thank you for sharing your story Kim. I too have found myself on the roller coaster of life. Some of the downs, I have found years later taught me a lot, others I still wonder. It is good though that you have found the One who overcomes. It is something I cling to in those times of rapid descent. Hang in there, it is an amazing ride.
