About the Book

Keep Your Hands in the Air When You’re on a Roller Coaster

The birth of the book and the website began as a result of a life-changing series of events that changed my life forever. We were out of town when my husband became ill. As facts were changing rapidly, I began recording the details to keep them straight in my muddled mind. I used those notes to keep my family and friends informed.

This book is the story of that journey. It is being told to bring comfort to those going through their own crisis or to give insight to those who have loved ones going through a crisis. When I first felt God stirring my heart to write a book about the experience, I was reluctant to move forward because I am not a trained writer. One thing led to another, and God used a variety of ways to confirm this decision. And so, I stumbled and bumbled with him by my side reminding me that he had a plan, and my part was to be obedient.

The “suddenlies” of life come without warning. It doesn’t matter if it is from cancer, a car wreck, a hurricane, or Covid. Your life is going along just fine and then suddenly everything in your life changes, to where absolutely nothing is the same.

Keep Your Hands in the Air When You’re on a Roller Coaster

My purpose is for you to grow closer to the Lord as you read this book and follow the posts on the website. Take the time to be introspective, even in the middle of the busyness of your life. God has a plan for you too, so ask him to help you become the person he created you to be. It truly is possible to learn to have joy and keep your hands in the air, even while on the roller coaster of life.
