He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Luke 16:10
I sat thinking about doing it for way too long. It was like I was under the impression that if I thought about it enough, it might happen without me having to do anything.
It didn't work.
I'm a huge procrastinator. It's something that I want to work on this year. I've always put things off until the last minute, and that day was no different.
It was 6:45 already and time for evening worship. I had the night shift that night, and I still hadn't gone on the run I promised myself I would do. I ran to the house and changed into running clothes because I wanted to be ready to go as soon as I was free.
It was 9:00 before I started, but I wanted to be sure I followed through. It wasn't very long, and my time wasn't good, but I got it done, and that was all that mattered to me.
God has been teaching me the importance of following through in all areas of my life, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem. The importance of what God gives us grows as we're faithful to the small things.
Yesterday my parents went to pick my sister up from Bangkok, so things were crazier than an average day. We were down two people, and it felt overwhelming. There were little things I needed to get done while I wasn't watching the kids, but I felt no motivation to do it.
I realized that if I didn't do it now, I'd have a whole lot more work later. It would all build up and be harder than it would've been, to begin with.
If I'm intentional about accomplishing those little things, I don't feel so overwhelmed with the amount, even if it is a lot. I think it's helpful for me to see the list going down.
Hopefully, next week it doesn't take so long for me to catch on.
