Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Another Beautiful Morning!  Beautiful from the inside...
Brrr. The temperature is -15 right now. It's so cold... I'm looking forward to warmer weather, real soon...

Yesterday, I walked around a store looking for additional gifts for grandma Gloria. Erik, Christine, Kaylee, Gracie and I are running over to Faribault to visit grandma. This will be grandma Gloria's first time to meet Gracie.  I'm looking forward to the look on her face...

I continue to have an itching scalp, legs and arms.  The itch for my legs and arms are from the inside not the typical itch that we normally think of.  

I am trusting God to restore my health...

Paul is still trying to fight the cold/flu bug. His plans are to stay around the house until he can get rid of this crud. Hopefully it's before we go see Joanna.

I am so thankful for all I can do...

Today's Bible Study

Putting Off Procrastination
Read | Acts 24:24-27

Some people like to say that they are “born procrastinators.” According to Scripture, that is impossible for believers. Procrastination can be a form of bondage in a person’s life, and the Lord, who wants the best for His followers, didn’t design us to be enslaved.

Procrastination has several common causes. The first is an attempt to dodge discomfort. Many people put off taking action because they feel uncomfortable or anxious about the ramifications. In today’s passage, Felix sends Paul away, fearing the apostle’s talk about righteousness, self-control, and judgment.

This can show up in our spiritual life— we sometimes delay Bible reading and meditating because we are afraid God will bring to the surface a matter we need to confront. Then, if such a subject comes up, we often choose to procrastinate about dealing with it. Issues like pride, self-control, or guilt may not be comfortable to face, but dodging them obstructs God’s purpose in our life.

The second cause for putting things off is self-doubt. Those who consider themselves inadequate to complete a task may choose not to begin it. Related to this is another factor: fear of making a mistake or failing in an endeavor can make postponement seem preferable.

Procrastination is no laughing matter, particularly in the spiritual realm since delaying on an assignment from God is the same as disobeying Him. Are you prone to delay? Identify problem areas and the feelings that accompany them. Then confess your tendency, and rely on God’s strength to overcome 

 Looking forward to another great day...
