Life is ...

Have you ever tried to figure out a metaphor for your life? Recently I have felt like my life has been a roller coaster. Some highs, some lows, some quick turns, but mainly just too fast to enjoy it. I love roller coasters but feeling as if you are constantly living on one without knowing which direction is coming next is no way to live. Yesterday I decided that my life is a train wreck. I was speeding along on a pre-determined path and then I hit something. A wall, another train, a car, a cow, I'm not real sure what I hit but I know that it hurt. I feel like this is an opportunity to change the direction my life is going and hopefully the speed at which it is passing me by. Maybe my life can become like a horse-and-buggy ride, or like a bicycle ride. I need to find a purpose in my life and the strength to carry it through. Please keep praying for me and if you have any metaphors for your life, I'd like to hear them.
