I'm always amazed and somewhat dismayed how quickly time passes. I had big plans for January. Before I knew it, February had passed, too. Here it is March 4th and I still haven't started what I had planned.
I have good intentions, but good intentions do not accomplish anything. I cannot clean the house with good intentions any more than I can build a relationship with good intentions. I have to be intentional and purposeful and dedicate a set period of time to physically, actively do the work to accomplish my ideas and dreams.
An example of this is my good intentions in finishing my master's degree. A process I started a little over six years ago. I had every intention of being finished with it by now, but because I did not follow through and intentionally finish, I am still not done. A lot of thinking about it did not accomplish it, neither did worry nor anxiety.
Procrastinating did nothing for me either. I sort of pride myself on being a procrastinator and doing my best work when the deadline is looming. How did I convince myself of that??? The pride came...is the fall next? I am humbling myself and asking God to forgive my pride and come along side me to help me reach my goal.
Counting my blessings...

another's undisciplined children
an unfinished thesis
weather that spoils plans
