So I ran to the laundromat yesterday to wash up a little something that I needed ASAP. As I loaded up my one tiny little load (because I was just there days ago, mind you), I'm not gonna lie. I felt all suffer-y and, embarrassingly enough, a touch martyr-y, and also a bit put out. After all, that would be approximately 40 minutes and around two dollars and seventy-five cents I would never get back and also LIFE IS SO HARD.
As it turns out it was a beautiful day in that the sun was shining and it was a delightful 62 degrees, and also the ladies inside that boiling hot warm & sunny space were all just as nice as could be.
Well imagine my shame and chagrin as I started catching up on my bloggy reading. Several of my daily favorites are in Ecuador together for Compassion International, and I found myself looking into some of the sweetest faces I've ever seen while processing the fact that they live their every day with basically nothing.
And by nothing, I mean nothing.
Kinda makes taking the trek two stoplights away to kill a few minutes while enjoying my laptop seem a little less...suffer-y.
Today I'm praying that God will shake me up from my feelings of entitlement and also my cranky ways. I'm awfully thankful that He's so patient with me as I kinda/sorta try to get over myself.
Personally I'd probably just try to smack some sense into me.
Let's all go love on someone today, ya wanna?
