Roller Coasters

I have already been to Elitch's this summer...I'm not talking about that kind of ride. I'm talking about the roller coasters of life. I have been on one today. Do you think if I scream loud enough with my arms waving in the air I could make the ride come to a complete stop? Then I could exit slowly from the right side and walk around the park for a while...enjoy the sunshine and the sounds (and the funnel cake!) before I get on the next ride of life. I know that these roller coasters are the things that "make us stronger" and "build character"...today I feel like screaming "God, can you hear me?" I trust in Him, I walk with Him, I adore Him...and still do even today...but it is days like this that I cannot figure out what He is doing with me and how He is molding me. I guess this is faith...trusting in those things that I cannot see or understand.
