WHAT AM I DOING HERE?

So, it occured to me today that the biggest thing I accomplished today, or this week for that matter, was leg-pressing 1000 lbs, 6 times. Now, I was happy about it, and I prayed before-hand that God would help me do it (or at least that He would keep me from droppin an O ring). It worked, I guess, as I had no problem doing it, but later as I headed back to work, I thought, "Is this it? Is this the most important thing I can accomplish on any given day?" I guess I just wallow in self-pity, when I see those around me who seem to know exactly where they are going, and it seems clear that God is fast-tracking them there. This is probably an ignorant assumption, as perception is often far removed from reality, but.....it feels true.

I am a perpetual whiner....I need to stop. Life is so great in so many ways. I have no right to complain, but I do it on a regular basis anyway. Let me know if you happen to see God trying to tell me something; I'm usually whining to loud to hear him. Thanks.

man i know what you mean. if you've ever perceived that God is fast-tracking us...well, I could tell you some stories. anyway, if you're interested, kevin rains had a post recently about living in the 80% of life that is mundane and not living mountain to mountain. I know it rang true to me.
