i like to think of myself as a very genuine person. for the most part, i do whatever it is i set out to do, sometimes at a bit of an expense to myself. however, i also tend to procrastinate...a LOT! i used to tell myself in college that i excelled when the pressure was on, so that is why i'd wait to the last minute. and unfortunately, i never learned my lesson because i was good at pulling everything together when i needed to.
but that's not the way a Christian woman should be living her life. how can i possibly allow God to work in my life if i am winging everything? my plans are of course only secondary to God's plans, but if i am filling my life with all sorts of things that distract me from what i should be doing, i am not going to be anywhere near as successful as if i make a goal and work towards it. and if i'm not as successful as i could be, i won't be bringing God the glory he deserves.
there are plenty of times when a task lies before me and i find it far more enjoyable to check out facebook (10 times), listen to some music, or watch tv. there are also plenty of times when a task just seems too daunting for me to even try. but i serve a God who is bigger, better, and stronger than any scary task. my God is worth more to me than facebook, music, and tv.
time to start walking the walk.
"all hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty" [proverbs 14:23]
