Procrastination-Will Catch up...Good or Bad results...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procrastination

All my life I have pretty much waited to the last minute to do things. I have always thought that everything will work out and I would be able to get things done. Sometimes my health delays me from being able to focus. I have very bad headaches and I have had test done and the doctors can't seem to pinpoint why I am having these headaches but when I am free from a headache I need to learn to take care of my task because we never know what can happen in life.

Prime example. I am in school and I am currently taking an online Biology class I waited to the last minute and I rushed taking my three quizzes that I needed to take and I missed the final exam.

I did not see a link for it. I had a very bad headache and I was struggling at the computer to see and just feeling light headed and it messed up my thoughts and created confusion.

I am just trying to be better about life and try to get my priorities together. We can't blame any one but ourselves but when we acknowledge the problem we have a chance to fix it and make it right. Although some structure of my current class is a little to much I just have to take this experience and fix it. With that being said I will do and try better. I think when you wait to do things you are only placing more stress on you an the end result can be something that is unchangeable.

What does the Bible say about procrastination?

Procrastination is “the act of willfully delaying the doing of something that should be done,” and in some people it is a habitual way of handling any task.

Proverbs 12:24 (NIV)

24 Diligent hands will rule,
but laziness ends in slave labor.

Proverbs 13:4 (NIV)

 

4 The sluggard craves and gets nothing,
but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.

Proverbs 15:19 (NIV)

19 The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway.

Luke 12:35

“Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning,

Daily Inspiration-January 1st-2nd

Today my Dad came down which was refreshing. He brought a book to my attention of Smith Wigglesworth which was a man who served God and laid hands of healing upon people. I was touched by the stories and his power that God gave him. I wanted to share some quotes by him and also other people that spread the word of God. Enjoy! There are four principles we need to maintain: First, read the Word of God. Second, consume the Word of God until it consumes you. Third believe the Word of God. Fourth, act on the Word." Smith Wigglesworth-   Saturday, January 01, 2011 You Need God's Power to Change by Rick Warren I've tried everything and nothing helps. I'm at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn't that the real question? Romans 7:24 (MSG) "The very fact that God sent a Savior means you need one." Have you figured out yet that a lot of times you are your own worst enemy?  It's your own reactions, your own fears, your own inadequacies that cause you to act in foolish ways. I know that's true for me. I need to be saved from myself because there are things I don't like about me - things I wish I had done differently, things I'd like to change. But I can't change them, not on my own power. I need an outside power source.  You may be saying, "I can change." I hate to say this, but you can't. Every year about this time, we make a list of New Year's resolutions. But, by the end of January, that list will be in the dumpster. Why? Because you can't change on your own; you need God's power. You need a Savior, someone who can make the changes you can't make yourself.  Let me make an important point here: God never wastes energy. He doesn't waste effort on things that are unnecessary. In other words, if you didn't need a Savior, he wouldn't have sent one. The very fact that God sent a Savior means you need one. The truth is, if you are honest about it, sometimes you feel like your life is out of control. That's a pretty common feeling. Welcome to the human race!  The apostle Paul felt that way 2,000 years ago. Paul says this in the Bible: "I've tried everything and nothing helps. I'm at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does" (Romans 7:24-25 MSG).That's the answer! You may be looking for salvation in the wrong places, that's why you're frustrated. You're looking for that one thing that's going to give you fulfillment and meaning and peace in life.  Some of us think that if we could just get married, or if we could just get a certain job, or a promotion, or attain a certain level of wealth, or have a baby - or if our babies would grow up and graduate! - things would be great. You're looking in the wrong places. The answer is not in a place. It's not in a program or a pill. The answer is a person: Jesus Christ. You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life is never going to make sense.  A Resolution Worth Keeping by Jon Walker

For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:2 (NIV) (This devotional is by Jon Walker, editor of the Daily Hope Devotionals  and author of Costly Grace: A Contemporary View of Bonhoeffer's 'The Cost of Discipleship.') Today you may be thinking about New Year's resolutions? You know, those lists we make with two scoops of optimistic enthusiasm, sprinkled with unrealistic expectations, and topped with the cherry of knowing the list isn't serious anyway. But there is one guy who I suspect played for keeps when he made New Year's resolutions -- that zealot who could never do anything halfway, the let's-get-real-about-our-faith apostle Paul. My thought is Paul only had one resolution on his New Year's list: "This year I resolve to know nothing but Christ and him crucified" (1 Corinthians 2:2). Paul's message is radically simple: Salvation is in Christ alone. What does this mean? It's not Christ plus your good behavior. It's not Christ plus the years you taught a Bible study. It's not Christ plus your tithe. It's not Christ plus the church you attend. It's not Christ plus the number of verses you memorize. It's not Christ plus your title in the church. It's not Christ plus wisdom from the latest Christian seminar. It's not Christ plus a desert fast (or even a dessert fast!). It's not Christ plus a good driving record. It's not Christ plus well-behaved children. It's not Christ plus the right job. It's not Christ plus the right spouse. It's not Christ plus the latest technology. It's simply Christ. Christ plus nothing.  That's Paul's message, a message that is as right throughout 2011 as it will be in 2999. May your resolution for this year be nothing but Christ and Him crucified.

Letting Go and Letting God-Seasons change

Who said that life would be so easy? I can remember when I was younger I was so carefree. Not a worry in the world so it seemed. I sit back and reflect on this past year. Last year around this time I was finding God more than ever. I was more humble than ever and had such a deep desire to serve the Lord.  My mother and I went on our journey to find a church where we could go to and feel free to serve the Lord. We found a church where we found acceptance and love. It was a life changing event for me as I started really feeling the Lord for who he is. March 3rd I bot baptised and felt so close to the Lord and things were changing in my life for the better with God.

All I could think about was going to church on Sundays and listening to the word, reading the word and surrounding myself with people that loved the Lord as I. I can remember being younger not wanting to attend church, being shy to be around so many people and it was different for me. That first Sunday in January I joined church and accepted the Lord into my life. That was a fresh start in my life and I was so overjoyed and excited to be apart of such a big and great church.

My pastor taught me so much and I felt so close to him so fast. Over the next few months I attended church with my mother every chance I got even if I had to walk to church I would be there and try to be as active in the church as I could. I learned more about Tithing and did my share to serve the Lord the way I knew how.

I studied and read the word a lot. I became a different person for all the right reasons for once. Although still battling other issues in my life I was learning to lean on God more instead of my own understandings of what I called life. One day my mother and I attended church and our pastor was not going to be at our church any more. For reasons I don't want to get into. Very personal. I was heart broken, my mother and I along with people all around cried and screamed in sadness and I was shaking and scared. I had finally moved past my fears of being around a lot of people and joined this great accepting church and the one that I learned so much from was leaving. It was very hard for me and I felt so lost and empty.

How would I get through this, why did this happen like this? To make a long complicated story short. My mother and I was lost and to this day have not found another church home. My soul still longs for the Lord but I fell off a lot from where I was before and it is really sad. I am trying to find God again and it's scary to know that sometimes we depend on MAN more than God when no other MAN should be before GOD in the first place.

I had to remind myself that MAN does not control my destiny but GOD does and although I have reached a hard time in my life I can not stop serving God because of things that has happened. God places us in places for different seasons to give us experience and lessons to make us stronger. God is able and I have been learning that I have to let go and allow God in my life the way it was designed for him to be. I will have a church home soon and I know God has a plan for me.

Things have not been easy for me but I know GOD is a GOD of second chances and this year it is my order to be faithful to my GOD and serve him forever no matter what hard times I reach. I have to keep his word in my heart. I will no longer let others dectate my strength or passion because GOD will never leave or forsake me. With that being said. God allows things to happen for a reason it shows you a lot for all the right reasons even when you may think it's wrong. God places your life in different seasons but hard ones don't last always.

God has a design and purpose for me and I know he will supply my every need. Churches change, pastors chance along with seasons. I can not let that affect my relationship with GOD the one who forgives me and shows me love and compassion. I thought that this Church was where I would be for a lifetime and things changed so it is up to GOD to lead me to my new destiny. I will not talk about what I am going to do I will place action on it.

I hope this helped someone out here in the world. God is a good God and is able more than man. We must learn to depend on GOD and let man come last!

Welcome to The Life Expereince

Hello world. My name is Zaundra. I am 28 years old and I love to write and inspire others.

I thought I would come up with a new blog for the new year and try to stay as consistent as I can. Over the past couple of years I have created different blogs geared to women for support of us but this time I wanted to create a blog reaching out to everyone in the world no matter where you come from or what gender. Life is a experience and we go through different things every day and I thought I would share some things to the world from every aspect of life the bitter and the sweet and the things you may not want to hear.

This is a place where you can come for inspiration and be able to get connected with others that may go through some of the same things you go through. I have learned to be open minded over the years and be open to listen to others for reasons of being able to learn from others. You never know what a person is going through beside you and I just want to be a ear to listen to others and be of assistant to others.

I will be reaching out to people soon creating different out reaches and just trying to do some other things in the world to help others. I don't have a lot and struggle just like others on a daily basis but I want to try to be a better American and help others in need as well. So come on in and watch and see growth within myself and find your place in "The Life Experience".
