Busted Nails

They hurt a lot.  Just saying.  And they aren't fun.  But it's these sorts of things that make you realize how much you use things.  Not just busted nails, but also braces, a broken air conditioning or a week and half away from your computer.  Sometimes I try to think of things, not as torture but as times to learn and times to pray.  Times to hope.  Times to grow.  Times to strengthen.  See, God isn't just trying to irritate you or punish you, God is simply testing you.  God is testing you with little things so that later on you can handle the bigger things.

These are the times when you just have to let go and except your circumstances and believe that it is going to get better with time.  Sure my thumb hurts right now, but I'm not going to let that bother me too much.  I need to learn to use my left hand occasionally so that if later on in life, if I get my right hand bitten of by bear or a shark or something large and dangerous like that, I will be able to handle it and learn to be left handed instead of right.

God also uses these moments to hear you pray.  God wants to hear you, perhaps you haven't prayed in a while, maybe God is using this catastrophe to bring you closer to him.
