a sabbath reflection.....

I LOVE TARGET. I really do, you are probably wondering where i am going with this, but bear with me. Natalie and I went to target (WHICH I LOVE) this afternoon. we agreed to seperate and contact via cellphone when we were done with our blissful browsing. as i am sorting through the accessory clearance section (LOVE IT) my perfect moment was shattered by this little girl screaming and whining at her grandmother to buy her some earrings. "PLEEEEEEEEEASE GRANDMA! WHAAAAAAAAAA!!!! BUT I WANT IT NOW!" i have heard kids whine and cry in stores before, but this one was especially ear shattering. now, maybe i cant relate to this because i was more of a bartering kind of spoiled brat but this kid blew my mind. i walked over to the bedding section to clear my head when a though hit me like an arrow:

what if that is what I sound like to God?

i stopped horrified and realized that it was half the time and that not only did he have me to listen to, but EVERYONE. instead of the "mature" 20 year old that i see myself as, when i resort to wanting something and whining to Him about it i reduce myself to a screaming crying toddler, instead of someone who is willing to JUST WAIT.


think about it.
