Have you ever ridden the Himalaya at an amusement park? It has a bunch of cars connected in a circle with up and down slopes. It can travel forward or backward and go really fast. That's a good description of this past week.
Monday - rushing through at breakneck speed for a noon deadline at work
Tuesday - a friend from the past suddenly died at age 55
Wednesday - a bank robbery across the street from work put us on lockdown
Thursday - my son's best friend lost his home in a fire
Friday - too many meetings, call to the Red Cross, visit to the funeral home, call to the family who lost the house
Saturday - my baby's birthday, a family reunion, a painting birthday party with 8 little girls
I feel like my mind and emotions have been riding the Himalaya and I'm wondering when it will stop. The only thing that gets me through these kinds of weeks is knowing that I have an anchor that can calm the chaos.
Hebrews 6:19-20 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
