The title of my blog is something I read online, well saw actually, thanks to Pinterest! It struck me because I think its so ridiculously true. Time rushes by and soon the very far away because the 'remember when'. Ive had that moment so many times, like the night before an exam when Ive thought, "If only Id started a week ago... a month ago...the day my books arrived in the post".
I am a procrastinator...make that a princess of procrastinating! I wish it wasn't true but sadly it is...Ive gotten by with this attribute for so long because Ive got procrastinating down to a fine art. I'm not ridiculously dumb or a hot mess, in fact most people pin me as rather organised I think . The thing is I know better...
I know I'm capable of more, I know I'm destined for more and I know there are tests Ive failed that I desperately want to pass one day, someday soon!
A big area (test) that Ive been procrastinating about would be my health, I go through these phases of health vibes, but then the temptation to slip back into old routines of 'good' ole Slim slabs, coffee fixes and o-tees bars (hello exam season) being my basic diet starts up again...
So despite having a number of procrastination areas I want to work on, the top of the list is my health. So often Ive let my health suffer and just treated the symptoms, thinking I'll 'get-around' to prioritising my health next week... month... year, yeah you get the idea.... just wherever is not right then.
So after feeling some seriously strong conviction from my patient Heavenly Dad, Ive decided it ends now. I want to be faithful with ALL God entrusts to me, my health being a big thing He has blessed me with! I know that when I'm healthy I'm able to do more, go more, be more and serve more....to God be the glory.
I know that none of these things are possible without God's enabling. I am completely and utterly helpless without Him and I need His grace in a fresh way every day, fortunately He is amazing at taking my weakness and showing off His strength!
Romans 12
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
In His Grip amigos
Carpe Diem
Good thoughts! Can't wait to hear more!
