Five Minute Friday-Here
Here is where I want to be. Here is where I choose to be. Ups and downs, yes, we have had our share of those. So many, at times it felt like we were living on a rollercoaster!! But, rollercoasters can be fun, even with all those curves!! I love holding my hands way up in the air, as we go up and down, on the rollercoaster of life. Look, no hands over here, woo hoo!! My lovebug makes life fun, regardless. The hard times, the sad times, the bad times, are all worth it. Because, at the end of it all, we are here, together, forever!!

I mentioned roller coasters in my post, but I want off of this one. I like the way you choose to look at life. Stopping in from Five Minute Friday.
I like this post. Clever :)
I think you have popped by my blog before. I'm a part of Lisa Jo's link up on Fridays also. I love that we are on this ride with so many other Believers. I had a post about roller coasters on my blog recently too! http://graceglimmers.wordpress.com/2013/03/11/roller-coasters-define-reality/
Yes, nice roller coaster of life, the good mood with us up and down!

May as well enjoy the ride, right? Way to look at it :)
Yep ... you are a faithful reader, commenter, encourager! And I, for one, am delighted to see you honored as such!

Happy anniversary!
Denise, you are a blessing to us. Love the visual of a roller coaster.
Be Blessed.
I hear tell it's someone's birthday! Sooooo, Happy Birthday!
P.S. It sounds like your "here" is an awesome place to be!

Love this idea of holding your hands up a screaming for joy on life's rollercoaster. Sometimes that is the last option we would choose. We can be too concerned with shutting our eyes tight and putting a death grip on the bar. (Happy belated 28th anniversary - Woo Hoo!!!)
Nice job! I had to read several of your posts after being sent here for the first time. I understand completely why you were mentioned on Lisa-Jo's Five minute Friday post today. You do seem to be a natural leader with a positive attitude. Fantastic!
Oh, and Happy 28th Anniversary!
I love the beauty of your words, so bright and lovely. Wish I was on your rollercoaster ride :)
i like that you put a twist on the metaphor of life as a rollercoaster, adding an image of enjoyment, while withholding the image of fear the metaphor usually brings with it. beautiful post.
also, happy anniversary! :)
Trials...that's what makes us appreciate the triumphs even more... That's what helps us appreciate the littlest blessings...That's what makes us stronger as each piece of this world is taken away...Be strong in the Lord's mighty power.Hugs and prayers always.
I am scared of roller coasters.....I don't like the way they make my stomach feel...perhaps it is because I can't control what happens. Nice analogy as life is just like a roller coaster you can't really control the dips and turns. Just gotta strap on your seatbelt and enjoy the ride. Looking forward to being the throw-my-hands up kind of girl like you:)!
Blessings and thanks for visiting my blog!!!

Cool Words. Thanks for sharing. Love the arms up in the air, and why not! Much easier when we surrender anyway. Happy Weekend.
The only thing you need to hang onto is Jesus! ~God bless~
Happy anniversary....blessings and grace to the next 28 and beyond!!
Loving the rollercoaster moments right alongside you, Denise! I pray your birthday was just as exciting. Thank you for always encouraging!!!
Happy Five Minute Friday! Thanks for all the encouragement you've showered on others...HERE is some special love for you!!!
Beautiful attitude.♥
It is so very good to be in a place where you feel freedom in the ups and downs of life - you portray this beautifully in your post! I loved seeing that you got a special mention in Lisa Jo's post today - when I read her words about you I smiled and nodded, having been on the receiving end of your encouraging comments. Thank you for your words!
Sounds like you have a great marriage! Happy anniversary
Stopping in from FMF! Happy Anniversary! Loving my roller coaster, but of course I LOVE the high points so much better than the lows! Be blessed in your "here"!!!
Having someone to hold our hands, regardless of the ups or downs, is a great blessing...love this post! :)
Wonderful analogy! Here is always moving... Happy Anniversary:)
I love the "No Hands"!
Loved this post. Such a restful feel. Thank you for visiting me.
Happy belated anniversary.
Love it! Many blessings to you on the ride.
Wow, you are a poet. Popping over from five minute friday. :)
I think you have popped by my blog, too. I could never figure out how to return the comment on your blog. You are so very positive, Shortybear! I smile as I read your posts and comments!
I'm on a bit of a roller-coaster right now in my own life. It's a bumpy ride, but I'm sitting next to Jesus. He likes to ride with His hands up in the air, too!!
Wheeeee!!
GOD BLESS!
:) my man and i stole a saying from a marriage seminar at our church last year: "we are stuck with each other till one of us dies". after 10years i'm in the best of company!
:) have a fab day dear.
sorry i haven't visited you more btw.
I don't normally like roller coasters but you make it sound like so much fun.
Yes, life is a roller coaster ride :) Happy belated anniversary!
Oh boy, I wish I shared your love for roller coasters! I like the No Hands part too...reminds me of letting go and trusting God!
So neat of the comparison of the roller coster- love it!
You're such a positive gal:)
God Bless you and your home
I love that description, Denise! NO HANDS! Thankful that God is in control!
I couldn't agree more, about life being a rollercoaster of joys and sorrows. You're right too, that it's all worth it.
What a beautiful post. You pour your heart into your work.
(Lifted your prayer request up this morning too. Hope you enjoy His peace that passes understanding this weekend.)
It's been a busy week here in Texas, sorry for the delay in getting back to you to repay you a visit. Hope your weekend is going well.
PS...hope your finances will be worked out.
So loved the line about life being a roller coaster...it truly is an adventure. Thanks for always stopping by and commenting. I am praying for you and your finances. God will always get the glory!! :)
Thanks for always stopping by my blog and leaving comments. And Happy Anniversary! what an accomplishment. :)
Happy Belated Anniversary, Denise! Blessings!
This is so sweet. Way to go!
