A Burden Lifted.

By the grace of God I finally got the 3 quizzes and 2 case assignments completed. Had it not been for His strength and presence, I am sure I would probably either be just finishing, or staring at blank pages and unclicked links. I'm not kidding when I say that I need help in getting things done lately (or at least getting things done that I need to do, rather than what I want to do at the moment).

I am also entirely sure that I have a problem with procrastination. I originally just used it as the excuse - a name for things not getting done. But, when I "researched" it online, I found a lot more about it that fits directly to my personality. This isn't a disease - as our culture is getting progressively better at labeling everything...but it is most surely a problem that needs to be fixed if I am going to be both successful in any ventures I take - and less stressed about them along the way.

I wholeheartedly need to get back "in touch" with God. I'm not saying He has been vacant from my life - far from it. But I have been doing just as good a job recently of completely ignoring Him as I did before I became a believer. This world has been demanding recently, I have been weak, and the distractions and temptations have been plenty.

I have a gift for melodrama - I can tell by just reading that last paragraph. This is not a life-ending occasion - nor do the most recent events in my life fall in that category. However, I have noticed a lot of change in myself lately that I do not like...and that is something I can be both certain and upfront about.

Like I said earlier, God has pulled me out of yet another hole I both dug and fell into...it's up to me to try, try again. Thankfully I'm not God and He is not like me...because I would have given up a long time ago.
