One of my character defects is procrastination. One of my favorite sayings is…”Procrastinators
Unite….Tomorrow”. J This is a battle that I have struggled with
for as long as I can remember. The worst
thing to ever tell me is…..”Take your time”.
As I have been thinking about this lately I am going over in my head the
reasons that I have for procrastination; there are so many….anxiety, fear,
dislike of the project, oh, I have plenty of time to complete that, I work
better under pressure, my brain will be fresher in the morning to do this task,
then in the morning I need to have more coffee before I begin. I truly could go on and on to infinity.
Procrastination is one thing that I do very
well. I have decided recently that I
don’t particularly want this to be the thing that I am best known for doing so
well. So I have prayed and turned this
over to God, as I have done in the past a few times, but what I have done
differently this time is to not jump all over myself with the negative talk
about how I can never change. Well,
guess what? God is changing me. I realized that I am giving myself positive
self talk now instead of letting the enemy take over my thought process, as I
am not putting things off. I am more
motivated and productive. We have an
awesome God!!
Trust in
the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6
(NIV)

Proverbs 3:5-6
(NIV)
Is it not just so incredible that when we focus our heart
and minds on God above, He gives us exactly what we need in our lives to be
better humans. He allows us to live with more peace and happiness, and when we
are happy God is happy because we can be much better examples of the loving
Christians that we are. The love of God
shows on our faces when we are at peace in our hearts.
Peace I leave with you;
my peace I give you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let
your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 14:27
(NIV)

(NIV)
I know that my life is so much more amazing when I keep my
eyes focused on Him! This is the way He
wants me to be living; with serenity and smiles!

For me my main reason for procrasrination is not actually knowing how to begin. I think and think and then I start to dread getting started on a project.
ReplyDeleteAlso we are so busy and over booked at times that we procrastinate in order to make time stretch out.beyond the time we have. I am going to pray that I do not procrastinate about the tasks that God gives me.
God bless...
