Roller Coaster of Life

What a crazy roller coaster life can be. This is a season with big drops and lots of hard climbs to the top of the next hill. Being self employed with a new studio location is quite the challange. It affects every area of life, every moment of the day. Emotionally, every day is a new ride on the roller coaster. You would think that you could start to predict that ups and downs. Somehow that has not been the case. I've come to realize I'm normally an emotionally stable person and do not handle roller coaster emotions well. Bryan seems to cope emotionally a lot better.



We are learning so much through this time. In some ways, entering a new stage of marriage and family life. Learning how to flex and let go of the small stuff so that the truly important things are taken care of. A lot of life changes all at once.



In the midst of it all is our beautiful, and amazing sons, Jacob and Noah. A daily reminder that stress gets us nowhere but grumpy. They have such joy and passion for life. They haven't learned that life is hard and the struggles continious. They only know that they are fed, loved, and have freedom to run and laugh. Oh, how I need to relearn what they already know. How is it that we loose sight of that freedom? Our kids know we cherish them and we take care of them. Their job is to have fun and experience life. To ask questions and learn. I wish I had that kind of trust and dependance on my Heavenly Father.
