I start out with a wonderful idea, think about it for awhile, and then I do....nothing. :|
"Oh, I will write it tomorrow," I say, "I'm too tired..." Really? Then what explains the hour long of playing the piano after getting off the computer. Or the two hours of reading a new book. I think I have a problem, it is called...
Procrastination (Duh, Duh, Duhhhhhh) :)
You see, as I have gotten older, I have come to realize that I don't always do things right off. For example:
"I think I will clean my closet tomorrow, that way it will be nice and organized..."
Next morning,
"Awww, well, it looks fine enough, besides I need to go practice my piano." ;)
So, what am I to do?
First off, God has given me my time, and he expects me to use it wisely. So I need to own up to the fact that I have this problem, and work towards "eliminating the problem" as Daddy would say.
Secondly, one day I am going to be judged, and I am going to be held accountable for the ways I have used my time. And, instead of standing up in front of God and saying "Yep, I did as much as I could in the time you gave me," I will say "I was a good steward of my time, and of everything you have given me."
So I have been working on my "problem," and as a result of that...this blog post. :) I had regretted trying to get on and start writing again, simply because I didn't "feel like it." But now that I have actually written this post, I "feel" so much better. :)
In Him,
P.S. No harm intended to pianists, I myself am one so I was giving an example of what usually happens (should I say happened :) to me. God Bless, Kristin

Great post, Kristin! Procrastination is something I think everyone to some degree struggles with. We know that we should redeem the time we've been by blessed by God with and yet it is also so easy to assure yourself that you'll eventually get to it. Amazingly enough though, the first time you put it off, it becomes easier to put it off again and again. Thanks for this reminder!
