I CAN'T COMPARE!

Have you ever sat and listened to someone tell their story of success? I sat and listened to a friend tell of all of their escapades and things they have done. I smiled and listened as they sipped on their starbucks and talked about money, travel and what not.
A part of me was jealous, while another part of me was sick.
Why was I wanting what they had? All of a sudden I felt like they were better than me! I mean look at me, I am just a school bus driver and I work in a grocery store.
I can't compare to them or their other friends. I don't make that kind of money and don't know if I ever will.
I guess its just something I need to get over. I guess its just me being stupid.
I did it when I pastored too. I would compare myself with other pastors. My Church with other churches, etc.
I guess I'm the proverbial kid with the "prowing" shoes wanting to ware the brand name "Nike's".
I CANNOT compare!
This is just me being real here.
Do you ever get that way? Come on be real with me!
