I Must NOT but I DO

So i have this thing i do to myself which can be ok, but it just makes easy tasks harder. I simply plan to get assignments done on time or turned in early, but i keep putting them off because i think i have time. Because of that i then run into other deadlines and end up with mounds of large assingments that need to be completed. I don't really get frustrated because i end up getting a lot done when my time is limited and sometimes it can be A+ work. I just wish i could follow my deadlines because there would be more time for other things. It could also keep me from worrying about wether or not i am not getting something done. I say to myself....I MUSI NOT PROCRASTINATE!! haha ya right.

so this is an example of what my procastination has got me into this time. I currently i have two projects and an online class that need to be completed by the second week of December. My statistics project is not even halfway done and its due DEC. 9th. My Developmental Psych project is due DEC 11th. Oh, and i have this online Medical Terminolgy class which i hate because its online. Everything is due for that Dec 11th i think? :) i just dont like the class because there are no due dates and you move at your own speed. See, that doesnt work for me. I often forget i am even taking that class. i write in my planner as if I do have deadlines but i dont follow them. It will get it done but i still have so much left in that class to do. oh well! Got to love procrastination, right?
Well, i say do whatever it takes and GET R DONE!!

Footprints In The Sand


One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.

Scenes from his life flashed across the sky
and he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
one belonging to him and the other to the Lord.


When the last scene of his life had flashed before him,
he recalled that at the lowest and saddest times of his life
there was only one set of footprints.

Dismayed, he asked, "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
I don't understand why, when I needed you most,
you would leave me."


The Lord replied, "My precious child.
I love you and I would never leave you.

During your times of trial and suffering
when you saw only one set of footprints...

That was when I carried you."



Whenever i read this i am reminded that i am not alone. When i am struggling, he is there guiding my path and carrying me through the times when i don't think i will make it. Even when i dont turn to him for help he is there and doesnt leave.

Let me not be blind with privilege!


To the desperate eyes and reaching hands
To the suffering and the lean
To the ones the world has cast aside
Where you want me I will be

(Refrain)
I will go
I will go
I will go Lord send me
To the world
To the lost
To the poor and hungry
Take everything I am
Clay within your hands
I will go
I will go
Send me

To the desperate eyes and reaching hands
To the suffering and the lean
To the ones the world has cast aside
Where you want me I will be

(Refrain)
I will go
I will go
I will go Lord send me
To the world
To the lost
To the poor and hungry
Take everything I am
Clay within your hands
I will go
I will go
Send me

Let me not be blind with privilege
Give me eyes to seek the pain
Let the blessing You've poured out on me
Not be spent on me in vain
Let this life be used for change

Refrain

I wanna live for you
Go where you lead me
I wanna follow you

I wanna live for you
Go where you lead me
I wanna follow you

I wanna live for you
Go where you lead me
I wanna follow you

Refrain

Send me! (4x)
Give me eyes to seek the pain
Let the blessing You've poured out on me
Not be spent on me in vain
Let this life be used for change

Refrain

I wanna live for you
Go where you lead me
I wanna follow you

I wanna live for you
Go where you lead me
I wanna follow you

I wanna live for you
Go where you lead me
I wanna follow you

Refrain

Send me! (4x)

So i was listening to this song a bit ago and the line.....Let me not be blind with privilege stood out to me. It makes me think of how people don't have the privileges i have. I feel like I take what i have and what my parents have blessed me with for granted. I dont think i honestly do it purposely. However i need to realize what i should be using my life for. How often do i really stop and think about that? I want to be able to see the pain around. I wil go where ever it is that God leads me and whatever it is that he wants me to do. It love this song and it reminds me of so much whenever i hear it. if you havent heard it....check it out its by Starfield

Just like the song says.....Let MY LIFE be used for change!
