A ride to school

There are times when I am just so lazy. This Friday, I walked around the house to go to school when I remembered my bike was still at the science complex. I had a ride from there to the girls dorm and then home after the dinner I spoke of in the last post.

I sighed, I really didn't want to walk to school again, but I kept forgetting my bike there. I started brooding in my mind about how I should have done this or that to change the situation now and how I had things I had to do before class and I only had one hour to do them. When I get in the mood to complain, I have a hard time stopping myself. This is one area that I really need to improve.

As I walked past Mr. Show's driveway, the car parked there beeped at me. I jumped, kind of, and went on to start complaining about that. Then Mr Show came out. I didn't feel it right to just walk by, I had to acknowledge his presence by saying hi. In the short greeting we exchanged, he offered to give me a ride to the science complex. On Fridays all my classes are in the science complex and that was where I had my bike parked. It was perfect to ride with him.

As I thought about this later, I felt really stupid. Have you ever read the stories of Israel in the wilderness and thought how dense they must have been? Have you ever thought that you would definitely act differently if you had the same test? Well, if you haven't, then I’m the weird one that has. As I thought about this incident, I was reminded of the time that Israel complained and complained that they didn't have the good things to eat that they had in Egypt. The story is in ex. 16.God gave them what they wanted, but the main point is that God had already blessed them so much, but all they could do was murmur and complain. How was I any different? I have so much, God has blessed me with many things, but all I could do was complain. Even so God gave me what I wanted, but now I fell really stupid for complaining in the first place. On the ride to school, I decided my attitude needed an adjustment.
