Will I Ever Learn?

As I read Exodus, I keep thinking how strange it is that the people of Israel become inconvenienced and immediately start saying "If only you had left us in Egypt..." They just seem stupid, and oblivious to the provisions and blessings from God.

Suddenly I realized 'I'm just as stupid as them'. When I am annoyed or inconvenienced I start asking "Why is this my life?" or saying "If only (insert circumstance or person's name) were different".

I am missing the blessings of God because I am so caught up in feeling sorry for myself. He is giving me opportunities to learn, grow, and love; and I am missing them because I am angry that things aren't the way I wish they were.
