Far greater need than this...

Yesterday was a whiner day. I think the majority of us have them, but just refuse to give it a title because we don't whine, right?!?! Nothing serious happening, but all the same, just a day that we hope to soon forget. At one point during the day, I checked out one of my favorite blogs to read. LPM website had a post from a missionary's wife in Haiti. Let me just stop to say... THANK YOU LORD FOR MY WHINER DAY. I received God's post-it... actually that may have been upsized to the new label size!!! I have nothing to complain about much less whine like a toddler. And I was whining to my Lord. I know what you are prob thinking... to cast my burden at His feet, but this was far far far from burden, it was a whiiiinnne. Does that count? Anyway... Moving on... I just got this picture in my head of Him gently leaning down whispering in my ear "Shhhhhh.... be quiet and act like you have good sense." The reason I picture that is because when my kids are acting up, yes you guessed it, I lean in real close to the ear and whisper some parental direction in a very stern whisper. My heart breaks for the Haitian people. I was "hearting" for the missionaries. I can't imagine some of the struggles they must face and to calculate a natural disaster yet on top of that. But once again, I am reminded that my understanding is not necessary, just my cooperation. So maybe today I will put my cooperation up-front with His plan rather my suggestions or my whining.
