Can I ask you a question? Why is it that every time I am supposed to do one thing, I get distracted and do something- NO, EVERYTHING- else?
So, what am I supposed to be doing? w\Writing up Christmas cards so that I can have them ready to hand out or mail by the 14th. I am bound and determined to have them done and actually give them out. Usually I fill out all the envelopes and/or the cards too, but don't actually do not give them out. Weird I know. And every January 1st, I emphatically declare "Next year I am just not going to bother!!"
So, why am I striving to stay on task this year and get them done again (and failing so miserably???!!) Because, simply, I love Christmas cards, especially now as a Christian. I love that you can share the gospel message through our Savior's birth story in a card- and nobody objects and calls you politically incorrect (at least I have never been told that- yet). I have many family member's and some friends who need this gospel message, yet, year after year, I fail to send out the cards I prepare for them? Why??
Probably time management- or lack there of. So, what am I doing now rather than fill out my cards and put stamps of them?
1) blogging- which I have not done in three months (uh, sorry- crazy/hectic season!! Its not like anyone but me reads it anyway).
2) checking 40 + emails that filled my email account in 1 week!!
3)calling people
4) checking myspace.
5) watching funny youtube.
So, I am going to log off from this blog, read the remaining 10 emails (maybe respond to the two I had to star), and complete 10 more cards.
BTW! Remember when stamps were $.25??
Oh. but one more thing. So, I have this verse that came to mind when I started thinking about how badly i am procrastinating:
Ephesians 5:15-16 "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil."
What a reminder to why I need to get my cards done to share a tiny bit of the gospel with those that I love and want to see in Heaven giving God praise!!!
Here's my question for you:
How do you manage your time? What are some techniques you've established?

are you ever tired?
Can I ask you a question? Are you ever tired? I mean, REALLY tired...feeling purely exhausted??
I am tired. Yes, sleepy tired, because it is 11:35 p.m. But, lately, I have felt more and more tired on a daily basis. I am not sure if my sleep quantity is still insufficient, if it is lacking in quality, or if life is just sucking the life out of me. I just reread that...lol...sort of an oxymoron. I have been trying to get into God's word more, and THAT is pretty energizing, but mostly even though I want to, I tend to fall asleep as soon as I sit down.
I think when a person's brain thinks constantly and rhetorically about something, it can make them exhausted too. Currently, I am praying and asking God where He might have me live. I have spent the past 6 months trying to redeem a sin I committed. I have finally realized that my disobedience stemmed form a desire to serve and worship myself. I know longer want to do that , but how do I know always what worshiping the Lord looks like?
So I ask you:
What does worship mean? And how do we do that on a daily basis?
