Procrastination .....

Why does it always have to be that I am constantly procrastinating! I hate it so much too!

It's not that I'm bad a cleaning, or working etc. It's just that it takes me an eternity (almost literally) to finally start my work/job whatever it is!

Once I get started, I just go, and go and go until the job's done...but usually what happens, is while I'm doing something, then I see something else that needs to be done & some other detail that needs doing...and pretty soon I get up to my neck in all sorts of projects at once, which usually takes hours....or they're all half done...

So I think I'm always having trouble starting something, because I know that it's going to be a long time before it's done. 

So now it's like I save up everything till night, like 8:30pm-12:30am, that way I get so tired that I just get my work and/or jobs done.....

The bad thing is this, I'm more tired, It's harder to get up early, and I have a horrible habit of only doing things later in the evening when I feel like it.Besides that, If I ever have a home of my own, I can just let everything be a complete disaster  and wait to do my cleaning, or wait to wash dishes at midnight. I need to be prepared now when I'm single :)

It's areas like these that I keep failing in! I must ask the Lord to help me! It's like I remember to ask him later on at night, in my room all alone with God; the real trial is when I'm procrastinating and then ask God to give me the strength to go and do my work, and that I'd focus on the job before me, and not just start things and not finish!

God wants to be involved in EVERY area of our lives! May I always let him be head!

You know what! I'm procrastinating right now! WOW! I should be sweeping and washing a floor... it's not quite 11:00 pm, but the new "spring forward"  time would mean it's 12:00 am....o my, time to clean! It's better to start now, than waste any more time on here!

I can talk all day about how bad procrastinating is, and not actually change, so, Lord, I know I should've gotten to this sooner, but now is better than never. Tomorrow is a new day, only with God will I change!

Have a wonderful  day/night whenever you read this!

My biggest fault....

-LAZINESS-
That is the offensive name! It seems like we all have that one thing that gets in the way of our walk with the Lord! Whether it's something you do, or have, it's all the same in a way.
Recently I really have 'wanted' to get up in the mornings before the others are up, and spend some time with the Lord before our usual family devotions.
So I set my alarm for 6:00 am. Morning comes and the alarm goes off. I wake up partially...Look at the clock, and then how dark & cold it is....."God you know I want to pray and have a quiet time reading my bible, but I really NEED this sleep....I will get up extra early tomorrow morning " and with that resolve making me feel like a "good" person, I go back to bed.
I get up about an hour later,  asking myself why I didn't get up earlier? Tomorrow I will get up early FOR SURE I tell myself.
And on and on the same routine every day!
It was on Wednesday night when we had a meeting here, that we were reading in 2 Chronicles 20 
I will put down some of the main verses(at the bottom of the page) but I'd highly recommend reading the whole chapter!
These verses are talking about how God said how he'd right for them etc. And then before they saw the dead bodies of their enemies they worshiped and Praised God! It was when they stared to sing and to praise God  that God went before them and their enemies were all killed!
It was because they had faith in God's promise, that they praised him ahead I time, they BELIEVED that he would do what he had said! I think God really wants to take him at his word!!
 Anyways last night I realized that I never had faith that God would get me out of bed in the morning, I totally was disbelieving in God that he would help me overcome the enemy in my life called "laziness" So last night I just praised and thanked the Lord for getting me up the next morning, and had faith in him , and the morning comes around, and wow God really had defeated that "lazy" spirit , I got up, and really was awake and had my quiet time in the morning feeling so much refreshed!
I must daily have that faith in him!
There is a reason the verse says "faith as a mustard seed" you don't need to work up this "big" faith, just a pinch of the real thing, and God can actually do what he wants to do! I was just like THANK YOU GOD!!! he's so amazing, I want my life to bring him Glory, although sometimes Its so easy take my eyes off of the light!

15And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.

¹⁶To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of 

Jeruel.

 ¹⁷Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be 

dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.

¹⁸And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.

¹⁹And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high.

 ²⁰And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

²¹And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.

 ²²And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
