Today in his sermon my pastor preached a message about what normal looks like. He talked about how many times life does not go like we plan. Sometimes we have storms in our lives. He talked about how normal is not a straight line of smooth sailing perfectly in line with our plans but instead it is a jagged line of ups and downs, peaks and crests. In fact much like a heart monitor....a normal heart beat is up and down because you definitely don't want a straight line.
As I meditated on what he said, I thought about all the ups and downs of my own life's journey. I also realized that the "roller coaster ride" of life, the ups and the downs like the heart monitor show us we are alive. It also makes us into who we are....and makes us stronger. So we should thank God if our life resembles the heart monitor......Because we are alive and yes our life is "Normal".
