My mother told me, former procrastinators, “Your eyes are bigger than your stomach.” A child puts more food on her plate than she can possibly eat. I still plan more for my week than I can do. I set ambitious goals I’m not able to reach in the time allotted. My husband and I just…
Do you have grand plans, former procrastinators? Do you want to make a big impact but find you disappoint yourself? Does getting kids off to school leave you drained? Are you too pooped after work to head out for a jog? Are you putting off and feeling guilty? No matter the size of our goals…
How’s progress on that long term project, former procrastinators? The one you’ve chosen to complete this month so it no longer hangs over your head and messes with your mental, physical, and emotional space? I’m moving along with my parents’ photo project. Thanks for helping me be accountable. We cannot do everything at once, so…
Happy Valentine’s, former procrastinators! You toured your house looking for any item that represents an unfinished job – or play or rest. We see incomplete tasks we’ve left to languish at 80%.

I toured each room looking for “the unfinished.” It might be work, play, or rest that is represented, but something is out that should’ve been put away or completed….
My major goof last year, former procrastinators, was not actually writing as much as I should have during the routine time slot I reserved for writing. I respected the routine time (no other appointments), but did not steadily take the next step to fill the time with writing as I should have day after day….
Last year, former procrastinators, our theme was “Go There.” In spite of discomfort, fear, nervousness, lack of knowledge or experience, take God’s hand and step into the challenge. I confess to you that I pulled back on God’s hand. I even sat down in the path. I claimed I had to know more, have help,…
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.
Proverbs 6:6-8
. . . you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him.
Colossians 3:9-10
