One LIFE to Live

 

I’m not the one who likes roller coasters, but my people do. I’m more of a “spinning, rotating, upside down kind of gal.”

Regardless, how often do we LIVE a roller coaster life? Now I don’t mean the ups and downs that are inevitable in life on this earth, I mean the “exclamation point” kind of life!! The “WHEWWWWWWWW!!! WHAAAAAHOOOO!!!!! That was AWESOME!” life?

Do we live the roller coaster life every, single day? The life that is JOYFUL all the way through. The life that despite the unknown curves is an adventure to embrace. The life that is only ours for a short time. The life that in reality is simply a vapor. It’s an adventure all right and we’ve never been promised anything else. It will have it’s ups and downs, twists and turns, unexpected mountains to “clickety-clack” up, but imagine the arrival into the eternal platform. The platform where it all began. Imagine getting off and hearing, “Well done! Well done LIFE rider.”

May we aspire to live “excalmation point” kind of lives, even if the merry-go-round is as far as you’ll go.

One life to live. Let us live OUTLOUD for Him.

{Welcome to WFW!}

There are very few rules, in fact the beauty of this ministry is the creative expression that God reveals Himself through. We marvel at the creativity that participants post! It’s a blessing!  We encourage the ” post behind the picture,” or the reflections that many of the participants share. We ask that for WFW that participants refrain from using non-biblical. If you’ve got the time we also encourage you to visit a few of the WFW contributors! It’s always a blessing to see the Scripture and story that creatively appear across the screen.

WFW is not about books, authors, artists… it’s about God and HIS WORD ONLY. WFW is about celebrating the gift of creativity through God’s Word and sharing the creative Word!

Please join us as we share the creative gifts God has blessed us with by signing into to the Link below to participate in WFW.

    Lori, I always love your posts! Your graphics speak volumes but so did this roller coaster post. Do I live everyday as an adventure to ride with joy? No. But I must put that in my thoughts when I awaken each morning.
    Blessings,
    Janis

    What a great analogy and I love the photo. But I have to say that the scripture you shared has given me hope and encouragement many times. God will complete the work He began in me!

    Bless you and happy WFW!

    Praise God that He made each believer a new creation, and that He made each of our born-again lives an exciting new adventure! We never know where we’re headed next, but He does!
    God bless,
    Laurie
