Minor setbacks and pains in my hand…

As I type this blog I’m pretty uncomfortable, since I managed to break my right hand (or perhaps it’s just a bad jam, I’ll know in a couple days) by hitting the random wood support piece in the arm of a couch.

My pinkie is swelled up from the base of my pinkie finger to my wrist, and honestly, typing is pretty painful, so my posts might be slightly fewer and further between.

I’ve had several minor setbacks recently, from needing to get a lot of things done that I hadn’t planned to, (like helping my Girlfriend replace her radiator, radiator hoses, fan wiring harness etc. and eventually her whole car when everything else hasn’t worked.) To having very unfavorable reports on the value of one of my investments.

I’m getting my investments re-evaluated, and hopefully I’m about done with all of the other little things, and then I can start making more concrete plans!

So far, it’s looking like I can’t leave much before the middle of July, which is a little dissapointing, but I’m trusting that the Lord will let all this happen in His perfect timing…

What, is in the details?

I guess that the reality is that life is getting more and more complicated, and the ways that we keep up with it are more and more complicated as well. Every day it seems that some piece of the software that I use to interact eith the rest of my life gets updated, and it seems that with every update I become just a little bit more behind the curve as far as everything goes with keeping up!

I’ve been using a software add-on with firefox (my web browser of choice) that allows me to Blog to this site more easily, about 2 weeks ago, firefox downloaded an automatic update for the software that didn’t fit very well with the way I wrote content, and sure enough, when my user interface went out the window, I started blogging a lot less.

I wonder how often we find ourselves in a situation that teh way that God wishes for us to grow, and maybe communicate with Him changes a little bit as we mature, and suddenly we find ourselves feeling passed over when truly, God is just trying to grow us as people?
