I have a dear friend whom I was with in the back seat of her car when I was visiting her. The car went over a bump in the road as we lifted out of our seat a little, while swaying back and forth.
The words out of my friends mouth were; "pitchin and rollin." We laughed together at that silly little encounter.
Later as I pondered the phrase "pitchin and rollin", it reminded me of life. Life is almost nothing but pitchin and rollin, we might as well do our pitchin and rollin with joy in our hearts and a flexible spirit. Cry if you must but just keep going.
Today might be calm and steady, even tomorrow, maybe even an entire week, but never fear the pitchin and rollin will come, it always does.
That's why I call this life "boot camp", we are not here to be comfortable, we are here to learn, learn about everything all the time. The most valuable lessons God takes us through are not out of books except His Book. Life explains His Book, it validates what He tells us. If we are not reading His Book while asking for the understanding, then we will not learn from the lessons of life.
The saddest day of anyone's life is the day they stop learning. Not the learning that comes from books, anyone can do that, but the learning that comes from facing the truth head on and obeying God through it.
