procrastination 2
I just finished tidying up the loose ends from my big room clean. Why did I procrastinate doing it so incredibly? I think because in my head the task had become something bigger than what it was… that I’d put off cleaning for soooo long, a tidy, functional room had almost become a hopeless prospect. I think perhaps I was also running away…
I think I’ve been running away somewhat from what’s coming (procrastinating my life?)… I’m about to finish uni, marriage is in the picture, career, fatherhood, ministry… aaaahh!!
But you know what? It’s ok. I want my future. And it IS GOOD. Thank You Jesus for Your incredible faithfulness and your promises.
I think procrastination is one of my favourite topics… 
What helped me tackle this project? Getting tired of running… God helping me to want my future… the encouragement and support of fam, Laura, mates… really DECIDIING to persevere, to plod, to press on… to lay hold of what’s to come.

Hey. I know what you mean about doing things that you’ve put off for ages and then almost wishing that you’d just done them ages ago. We’re in the process of selling our place and we had a few things to tidy up, some paint work to fix, that kind of thing. We put it off for ages, and now that we’re leaving, we had to just do it. It didn’t take all that long really. It was actually stupidly easy. We could’ve been living in a cleaner house all this time with no hass at all.
Anyway, good for you man. Future is exciting.
