Procrastinators Unite! ...Tomorrow...

For days I have been saying that I am going to clean my room. For weeks I have been saying that I am going to start taking better care of myself physically, emotionally, and mentally. For months I have been saying that I am going to start loving people better than I do now, and for years I have been saying that I am going to let go of my wants and let God be everything I need. Talk about the most epic case of procrastination. No matter how much I say, 'today I am going to clean my room,' I end up finding something I would rather do. No matter how many times I start taking better care of myself, Satan always manages to bring me down by telling me I'm not worth it. No matter how much I try to love people, something always happens to make me not like someone. No matter how much I try to let God be my everything, I take it all back into my own hands and try to fix it myself. Let me tell you, it doesn't work. I usually end up making a much bigger mess of things. In a world of instant gratification, it is so difficult to be content waiting for something. I want this or that to be fixed now not later. I want to know what's going to happen and how its going to end now! I forget that everything takes time and will take its course when God wants it to. He will show me someday and I need to exercise patience, which is definitely not my strong point. Sigh... I need to go clean my room...
