Nothing's ever easy
You ever want to just do something and hit obstacle after obstacle? I have a vision on this thing I'm trying to do (still holding off on blogging directly about it) and have wrestled all weekend because the vision of what I want and the reality of what I can accomplish using the tools I want to use are off. So I have taken a step back to reconsider and regroup. But it sure is frustrating. Correction - it's been a massive pain in the ass, to get real close to what I see in my head and not quite get there.
Ulysses Everett McGill: The treasure is still there boys, believe me.
Delmar O'Donnell: But how'd he know about the treasure?
Ulysses Everett McGill: I don't know Delmar. The blind are reputed to possess sensitivities compensating for their lack of sight, even to the point of developing paranormal psychic powers. Now, clearly seeing into the future would fall into neatly into that category; its not so surprising then that an organism deprived of its earthly vision...
Pete: He said we wouldn't get get it. He said we wouldn't get the treasure we seek on account of our ob-stac-les.
Ulysses Everett McGill: Well what the hell does he know, he's just an ignorant old man?

I think you'll get there. Patience. The things you need will turn up.
Yep. When the time is right.
About 6 months ago I really wanted to do something but hadn't a clue how to start. In my wisdom I decided I should just go out and do it anyway... but then couldn't find the people I was looking for. Then when the time was right, the people (I was looking for) were right there and it was so clear.
Funny how things work like that.
Erin/Chris:
I know, I know. It was just really frustrating. I wanted something to demo by the end of the weekend, and got SO CLOSE. I can make all the pieces work individually, it is making them all work together that is (just barely) not working. So I backed up twice and did research about other options and paths. We'll see.
I get you, but I still think it will come together. Usually, like Chris said, the waiting means there is someone or something God wants to be involved but that someone/something isn't quite there yet.
Erin,
Isn't it funny? No matter how many times we think we get that we must do everything through the Father, we still end up like our little kids, stamping our feet and saying, "I want to do it myself!" :o)
Trust me, I know. I'll just wait until the next thing I want to do comes along, and then I'll come back here to read what I said. I guarantee I will have forgotten ;-)
Erin,
:o)
You know, at one point this weekend I stopped and said (to self), "Self, have you even asked God about all this? Maybe that'd be a good idea, eh?" So I did. And I am waiting for an answer. I think it will be an OK answer, but I think some of the struggles were simply getting ahead of what's really important in the whole thing. There's a HUGE difference between, "Cool! I want to do this cool thing for God!" and "God, do you want me to do this? Cool!"
Precisely what I meant.
