the faster the better
the more flips, the more fun!
i was having a conversation with my friends youngest son the other day
we were sitting in their van chatting
and he was telling me about how much he loves rollercoasters
he was quite impressed when i said that i love them too
and we both claimed to love them more than the other person ever could!
we decided that we would just have to ride some rollercoasters together in the future so that we could settle that conversation :)
the last couple of weeks have been a rollercoaster of another - less fun - variety
i feel like the summer has been a blur. between mom&dad's move, my work conference, weddings, traveling, working, heat wave... it's just been a big blur.
last week the rollercoaster took some more extreme heights and extreme lows.
grandma had another scare with her health, and i was preparing to say goodbye to her
on saturday i sat in the hospital basically all day, and i spent some time praying that Jesus would take her home.
but the rollercoaster has taken some more twists and turns as she has been improving. i am SO thankful for the amount of time i'm able to spend sitting with her, and i would not trade this for the world.
the rollercoaster continues to move as her cancer has spread.
i'm learning that Jesus wants to ride along with me, with us.
grandma has an exceptional way of rolling with life as it comes. i think she is ready to see Jesus.
to see grandpa, and omi. to hold Jay and play with him amongst the angels. to see her Dad who she last saw when she was 6.
ready, but also still ever present in loving being with us while she is.
trying to trust. with every twist & turn.

even though your summer has been a "blur", it sounds like you are very aware and in-tune to everything you are experiencing. i like how you acknowledged Jesus' presence on the "roller coster ride" with you...how true. :).
