i have the most persistent pain in my back in the history of my 24 year, 5 month, 11 day existence. many have tried and none have succeeded in massaging out the stinkin' knot in my right upper-back/lower-shoulder. it's not a horribly painful ailment; it's just annoying as hell.

i'll stop whining now. nothing new is going on in my life... i really desperately need an income. it's something that i should definitely be praying more about. part of me is confident that God will provide, part of me is afraid i'll dig myself into too great a financial hole to climb out of. i think i too often deal with my problems by ignoring them (which is probably why i'm not on my knees asking God for deliverance). i don't want to over-dramaticize every trivial issue that comes my way either. i guess it's a matter of finding a balance. i know right now though, i must pray.

and pray i shall.
