Sometimes it seems . . .
I’m on a roller coaster ride
with all the ups and downs
and twists from side to side.
One day, I’m blissfully joyful,
the next one, I miserably sad
one minute, I’m cheerfully happy
the next one, I’m steaming mad.
One day, the Lord seems close,
the next one, He seems so far away
one minute, I see His light shinning
the next one, it’s hard for the finding.
One day, I feel so very blessed,
the next one, I feel so deeply depressed
one minute, I feel His awesome love
the next one, I feel tight as a glove.
Who’s got control of the switch,
who’s controlling this roller coaster ride?
Lord, I need for You to pull the plug . . .
so that in Your rest ~ I can abide!

1 Peter 5:10
King James Version
“But the God of all grace, who hath called us
unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus,
after that ye have suffered a while,
make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.”

Well, He pulled the plug once again and I am feeling the effects of His peace and quiet as I rest in the knowledge that He is always in control ~ Blessings ~

Yep, it’s a virtual roller-coaster ride at times and the only way to stop it is for the Lord to pull the plug and for me to find my rest in knowing He is in control. ~ Blessings ~
