Dealing with adulthood.

It is an interesting occurance to come to a point in which after carefully budgeting you realize that no matter how carefully you plan or prepare; things may just not work out as easily as you plan(before I go any further, no Melanie and I are not pregnant). We are planning on taking the truck into the shop to get checked out and see how much it will cost to get it in decent (roadworthy) shape. Knowing what is wrong(front differential leak, oil leak, needing new tires, possibly brakes, possibly shocks, and any other possible problems which may come up to be fixed) I am afraid that it may take much of what we have in savings/ tax refund which we were planning on using to move with after Melanie graduates.

This situation reinforces the idea that scripture has about planning for the future in that no one knows what will happen in the next minute much less the next week or months or years. I found it interesting this morning when our pastor touched on the verse in proverbs that states not to lean on our own understanding- great timing.

As for now I will do my best to focus on trusting that God is in control over what I can see and what I cannot see. I guess I am learning the difference in knowing in my head and understanding from experience. Hard lesson, but I know that what is often is hard is what is most beneficial.

as always Much Love,
Ira

Oh and also the GRE went very well I made 610 on the verbal section and 510 on the math section, 1120 total- I guess I will report on the essay portion when I get the results.
