Problem is an Understatement

There are so many issues in this world.
tsunami
9-11
murder
abuse
suicide

The list goes on and on and on....

I'd like to take a look at the things that I spend the majority of my day thinking about
my schedule
my homework
my meals
my fatigue
my loneliness
my lack of a boyfriend
my pride
my discomfort
my friends
my sarcasm

Now let's play that Greater than, Less than game that we all learned in elementary school.
List #1   >   List #2

Welp, that wasn't all that difficult.  Yet, for me it's tough.

I can spend a good couple days seeking God fully, because during those days I am quite comfortable.  But then, if any of List #2 begins to be a problem, than my attention is on it.  I mean, yes.  It is important to grow through and face my problems, but for me to feel bad for myself for even one second just seems wrong.  Honestly, I think that what I am going through is bad?  Other people are facing things so much worse as I'm sitting there feeling upset because I don't have a boyfriend?  That's just wrong.

My problem is that I have to sit here and whine about my problems.  I need to learn to trust God, lean on Him, and help, love, and pray for others.

God, change me.
Help others who are far worse off than I am.
