There’s this ride at Walt Disney World called “Expedition Everest.” It’s one of the coolest roller coasters I’ve ever been on. Like any roller coaster it moves fast through winding track that rolls up and down, but this one (spoiler alert) also moves backwards at one point and even puts you face to face with a Yeti. It’s intense, and fun every time.
Now, I love roller coasters, but sometimes I feel like my life can be a lot like a roller coaster. I go through these emotional highs and lows, and it seems like lately they’ve been a lot more intense. Not just that, but sometimes I feel like for every step forward I take, I move a little bit backwards (or sometime like I move a whole lot backwards). Also, there seems to be a lot of Yeti’s in my life; people, things, situations, and attitudes that want to destroy my life and the dreams that God has placed there.
I know that no ones life is smooth sailing, and that Jesus promised that there would be ups and downs. In John 10:10, He promised life more abundant, and I can’t help but think that if everyone has those “ups and downs” then the abundant life seems to make the ups higher up and the downs a little lower. But I know that even if I seem to go backward, and even if things stand in my way, if I stay on the track that God has set before me in spite of all the obstacles, I will make it through to become the person He wants me to be.
