I am listening to Part 5 (of 5) of Joyce Meyer's Series, "Finish What You Start." The series has inspired me to finish some outstanding projects and focus my attention. By happenstance, I am about to write the last paper for a graduate level IT course, the last course required for my "Certificate of Digital Leadership." I WILL write this paper today!
This morning I woke up to a very, very messy house. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, I decided to pick one room to work on (and FINISH). I started by picking up the Man Room (a paneled room off of the kitchen where "the guys" watch TV. Our refrigerator is in this room too, as is the computer and the farm office). Upon sweeping I discovered that I couldn't find the dust pan (boys!). I couldn't find a single envelope to mail bills with (from the front of the fridge). And the printer ran out of ink this morning at 1 a.m. when the sophomore was awake working on his A.P. English paper.
So mid-job I made a Walmart run. I threw some extra coat hangers in the cart in hopes of being able to finish hanging up the clean laundry.
And tonight I plan to bake the apricot coffee cake, the ingredients for which have been sitting on the kitchen counter for over a week.
The Bible story Joyce based her teaching on was the story of Esther. Through dedication Queen Esther saved an entire nation.
May I have the strength and dedication to finish what God asks me to do!
