Makes me feel like a sissy

Fierce winds blasted sand into everything. We were virtually blinded, unable to see more than a few feet ahead as we drove in Egypt, from Cairo to the Bitter Springs of Marah. I've driven in snowy blizzards less troubling. The sandstorm was more fierce and violent than I could have imagined. I grabbed my camera and shot over the driver's shoulder in an effort to capture the ferocity of the storm. The picture doesn't do it justice. It was even worse than it looks.
We drove for hours through the blinding sand. Moses led the Hebrew people through it for weeks and weeks. It took about three months for them to make the journey through this wilderness to the base of Mt. Sinai.
Are you kidding me?
More than a million people wandering toward .... what?
Blowing sand, short on water and trusting Moses knew something they didn't?
No wonder they complained.
As I make my own faith journey, this picture makes me wonder what I have to complain about.
Exodus 17:3 - But the people were thirsty for water there. They complained to Moses, "Why did you take us from Egypt and drag us out here with our children and animals to die of thirst?"
