My niece Kristen loves roller coasters!  She'll travel anywhere to experience the thrill of the ride.  I love her sense of adventure with a capital A.  I mean seriously, have you seen some of the roller coasters out there?

I've often thought my emotional life was much like a roller coaster ride. I mean seriously, life out there is well...an adventure with a capital A.  Ups, downs, fears, thrills, love it, hate it, want on, want off....  Sadly, these emotions frequently impact my faith walk.  Learning to master my emotions is a cry of my heart.

The below video that my dear friend Brenda Brown sent to me is entitled "The Definition of an Emotional Roller Coaster".   What I love the most about this video is how the coaching and encouraging of the dad helped the young boy experience the thrill of the ride. How I thank God for the people He has sent into my life who coach, mentor and encourage me along so I can experience my faith walk with greater joy (wee wee weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!  What a blessing!
