Hmmmmmmm......... Sounds like.. yep... definitely confusion. I know this is going to sound really corny, but did you ever think that maybe you are the one controlling the gum ball. I mean you are the one controlling what happens in your life. You have spent so much time thinking of how you can fix things,, like persay a broken gum ball machine. That in the meanwhile God is trying to help you and work it right for you. I think you need to let go of controling it all by yourself, and so do I. I believe in you, as always. I know you will find the problem you always do. You are smart, courageous, and beautiful. Maybe your machine (life) just needs alittle shake(change!)All my love!

Its all about approach, Jordan. Instead of putting the quarter in, and settling for the fact that the gumball is stuck halfway down,why don't you (without worrying about causing a scene) pick up the machine and shake it for all its worth!! Because even if it doesn't come loose, you can know you've still tried ;) and thats what life is all about!
