1 Victorious Day (lets go for 2)

Honestly, its stinkin hard to have a victorious day but its so so good. I think having an eternal perspective is my goal, obviously. But before I can even get there I need to cultivate a glorifying attitude that will extend beyond right now. I recently shared that my greatest weakness is laziness. I think the way that it manifests itself in my life is in procrastination or even negligence.

But how selfish is procrastination! It's a total self concern. At the deepest level its not about not wanting to do something, but about wanting to do something else. Procrastination and neglect is an attitude of self service. I don't want to do laundry as much as I want to watch tv, so I'm going to do that. Or I want to sleep more than I want to read (happens to me a lot... mornings and nights....). I become a slave to my appetite. I forget where I recently heard that? Are you subject to your appetite or are you in control of yourself? How silly, am I in control, of course I am. Until I thought about all the desires that I indulge in: games, sleep, food, internet, hanging out (I'm separating hanging out from fellowship, they're different).

So how do I deal with my selfish (another thing I admitted to struggling with) and lazy tendencies?

I just do it. Theres nothing stopping me from doing productive things. The only hurdle is making the decision to do so.

Yesterday was awesome, and I was a little bummed I couldn't do more.

-Go to work

-Meet up with Jon Sng (I love Jon Sng)

-Go home

-Call and meet AAA to get my keys out of my car

-Put clothes/sheets/towels in the laundry

-Read Judges 10-13 for sunday school. (This is about Samson)

-Go to best buy, picked up "UP" and "Transformers" movies (how fun, one's good, the others to put on tv when I'm doing chores)

-Put clothes/sheets/towels in the dryers (only top ones available! lame!)

-Do p90x chest and back, ab ripper

-Take a shower (to which I forgot I was washing my towels, but running through the apartment makes for a quick air dry)

-Fold clothes/sheets/towels

-Upload Sports day pictures to Berean album

-Blog 2 lines

-Boil eggs

-Make myself lunch for the next day

-Read the opening to 1 John (and forget because I mean to read after I get home from work but i believe John is introducing himself in the opening)

-Go to sleep

Maybe thats not a whole lot but let me list my more average schedule

-work

-subway

-work

-home

-games/tv

-sleep

haha maybe thats a little dramatic but that is the general picture. I pray that I don't lose my conviction to glorify God with my free time, just by being a good steward over the things he's blessed me with.

(And if anyone reading, or even not reading, this wants to meet me up for lunch, I'm right next to albatross, or the hat, or jersey mikes (legit sandwiches)))
