When You Are Stuck On Top Of The Roller Coaster

God works in mysterious ways.

When You Are Stuck On Top Of The Roller Coaster
Travelchannel.com

A group of my friends from college decided we should go to Disney this weekend. Well we were dying to come back in December, but we weren't sure if we would be able to afford it. I have my Dad's birthday, my sister's birthday, and Christmas. I would definitely be drinking tap water and eating Ramen for supper if I was coming back...

Well on our last night we went to Magic Kingdom. We decided to ride Space Mountain. It's my best-friend's favorite ride. I secretly enjoyed it just as much as she did. We get there at 9:55. We wait in line for awhile, but we finally get on the ride. As soon as we are about to throw our hands up for the first drop everything changes.. The lights come on and the ride pauses... While at an incline/decline. We are officially stuck on Space Mountain. I'd like to say we were in a vacuum.

The Disney team worked diligently to get us off the ride. They were peaceful and so pleasant. However we finally get off the ride at midnight. We FINALLY got off after going through every plan in the alphabet, crying, and praying... Well once we get off we meet the park manger and roller coaster manger. They gave us all a free ticket to come back in the future for the trouble.Whoop whoop!

Then I got to take a picture in front of the castle... (At this time we were the only ones at the park because it closed at 11 p.m.) Awesome!

Needless to say... God answers prayers. I'll be back in December without eating Ramen noodles and drinking tap water to get there.

If you are ever up on top of the roller coaster and looking around... Just know God hears and answers every prayer. It may not be the answer we are looking for sometimes, but He hears your calls. It maybe as simple as a ticket to Disney or asking for a loved one to be saved. He will always provide and answer his children's prayers. Have the faith of a mustard seed.

P.S. The maintenance man's name was Jesus. I can officially say two Jesus' have saved me.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
