Two Invitations for You

Decision Making

16 Jan

Former procrastinators, here are two invitations for you!

One, I will be sharing three procrastination talks January 27 and 28 in Alexandria, VA. If you’re in the area, please join us at the conference! It would be wonderful to see you! Here’s the link.

https://www.alexandriapres.org/forms/womens-event-january-27-28-2017

Talk 1 “Where There’s Smoke‚Ķ” (the foundation: recognizing procrastination, roots, effects, scriptural perspective, general aids) Talk 2 “Dousing the Fire” (strategies for change) Talk 3 “Fire Prevention” (forming new habits).

Two, I invite you to tell me what you believe would benefit you in this blog. What would you like to see here? I am not the source of knowledge or wisdom. Like you, I know the One who is. As I learn, I can share.

The Lord in His grace and mercy is moving me out of procrastination and into diligence. The effects are tremendously encouraging. It seems as if I have more time; I do have more margin and more time to play. I’m learning to value and make more time for rest. I rush less, tend to more priorities, enjoy life more – and my husband is happier. I have a whole lot to look forward to!

Some of you have told me of changes you’re enjoying. Hallelujah! Tell me also, what are some things you would like to see in the blog? Part of my growing could be seeking to serve you in those ways.

In general, I plan to continue a mix of devotional-type posts and “application” and “tip”-type posts. The devotional posts address our hearts and minds. That’s where the major battles are fought in this war. I get my best help when a scripture shines bright light on procrastination and diligence. As we submit ourselves to the Lord for change and learn to put on the “new man” in our hearts and minds, our actions change.

The “application” and “tips” posts contain things I’ve learned, read, or heard that I share with you. I used to gravitate to such articles in magazines, yet I never made any progress because I hadn’t addressed the heart and mind issues that bound me to procrastination. Now that I’m no longer bound to choosing procrastination, I find many “applications” and “tips” beneficial. I appreciate anything that simplifies life and enables me to concentrate where I most want to focus.

Those in northern Virginia, here’s your link: https://www.alexandriapres.org/forms/womens-event-january-27-28-2017 Please come!

Everybody, will you write a comment below or email me at putoffprocrastination@gmail.com before you leave the computer? What would you like to see in the blog this year? Thank you!

"Beth’s procrastination talk led me to understand procrastination as a heart issue in need of God’s restoration not just a change of my ways. Beth’s personal experiences helped me discover practical ways to attack my own procrastination. As a result I have become a more loving wife, mother and friend who is able to use the gifts God has given me more fully. I highly endorse this talk and would love to hear it again and again."

“Beth’s presentation on procrastination was truly eye-opening. I knew I had a problem with procrastination, but never thought twice about how it impacted my relationships and showed God that I wasn’t onboard with His plan. I began to see each instance took away from being fruitful; I was living for myself! After this revelation, I have been working on procrastinating less. I can see places opening up in my life for more peaceful moments, more time with and for friends and family, and more time for God’s plan to unfold. It’s amazing to know there’s more to life for me than a life full of “should haves” as a result of procrastination.”

“After Beth came and shared about procrastination, many realized that it is possible through the Lord's power to stop putting off what God has called us to do. One mother finally started a blog and another posted a ladies; tea for her church months in advance so that ...she would not put off having it. Although I thought I was not someone who procrastinates, I realized I had some relationships that I needed to work on. Procrastination, I learned, is not just about getting things turned in on time, it's about listening to God and doing what He says to do when He tells you to and obeying God's Word.”

Beth Sterne - Put Off Procrastination
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
