So just to throw some reality out there… I have eight weeks before I leave for the World Race. Wow, I can’t believe how fast the time has Gone by.
For those of you who may not know this about me, I’m a roller coaster nut! I absolutely love amusement parks. In fact, in Jr. high I wanted to design roller coasters as a career. Well, you might be asking yourself, Matt how is this relevant? Hold your horses.. I’ll tell you. You see, after coming home from Training Camp, i feel like I’m just here. Yes there is school, work, and church…. but it just isn’t the same knowing what is on the horizon.
I feel as though I’m in line for the biggest roller coaster in the world, and while I’m waiting I watch as the people before me are riding. I can see all the Danger, the Big drops, the Fast speeds. I think about how scary it will be, but fun all at the same time. I remind myself that after the ride starts and you go over the first hill it gets less and less frightening. I know deep down inside that after it is over there was actually no danger at all. That when it is all said and done, the ride will stay on the track, and even though it might be intense, it will function like its creator built it to. While all that is good to know… I’m still here just waiting in line.
