OH... sweet procrastination....
I am currently procrastinating. Yay for me! Yes, it's one of those days... one of those weeks, in fact. I have a painting to do, and this is my one day left to do it, and here I am, sitting at the computer, blogging about not doing it. I even looked up 'procrastination.com', and they have games to play, tell you that it's okay to procrastinate, and have t-shirts to commemorate procrastination that you can order. I don't think I'll indulge THAT far in it today.
It's so hard to get things started sometimes... even if you love to do them. Sometimes the initial effort of just getting up and DOING something is the hardest part about the entire task. Why? Do I think I'll fail? Do I think I'll get bored? Or do I think there's no purpose? Or do I just not care enough?
Maybe all of the above.
Lord, kick me in the butt and rid me of this apathy!

Yesterday, my procrastination consisted of cutting my family's lawn, cleaning up the yard, trimming the bushes, oggling my nieces, and eating, of course. That was all fun, of course, but it was overhung with this responsibility to go and do my painting that's waiting for me. Then, of course, at the end of the day I feel crappy and aimless and like I have no purpose in life and WHY? All because I procrastinated all day.
BUT no more... YOU are my witness that RIGHT NOW, I'm getting up, and I'm going to set up my space, and PAINT. Okay? Not only that, it's going to be beautiful. It's going to be annointed with God's peace and his presence, and it's going to be easy and a joy to do. Okay? You are my witness. Ask me about it later.
Signing out.
