Killin me softly

No, the title of this post is not the lyrics to the song "killing me softly."

Any way's what i mean by this title is that procrastination is killing me softly. It is something i hate and that i now i need to manage better but it is soooo tough for me to do. I think i procrastinate for fear of commitment or i just get anxious and want to push the inevitable away. The strange thing is that by doing this whole push-back thing i get hurt. Doing this whole procrastinating thing brings death, fear, anxieties. You know these words don't seem like ones that should be involved with anyones life... especially a person who follows after Christ, yet they are... and it is ok.

It is ok to experience these emotions but the way they are brought on is the problem. The reason why i experience emotions like fear and anxiety is because i hold off on doing almost everything and it kills me. I sometimes get emails from individuals and i don't open them for maybe a couple of days avoiding the inevitable message that has already been sent and even maybe hoping for a reply.

I think procrastination is one of the things a greatly dislike about myself and i am glad that i can have some help from Lindsay (my girlfriend) in this area but it is something i know that I have to work through. I know God has more for me then anxieties and fears. I know that there is no need to be rushed and so panicky just waiting and wondering how things are going to come along for my class schedule this semester or i realize that i don't have to redo things if i completed them proficiently and on time with the first go around.

Procrastination is a killa and it adds un-needed stress. This is also the point in the blog where i could make some super spiritual comment or tie in some scripture but... it aint going to go down like that. I just want to share my experience and shed some light on this silent creeper, this slow sulking shadow that adds just enough darkness to start blotting out Christ and adding to His light and easy yoke. Run from the shadow's of procrastination and find your freedom in the pastures that Christ has promised. All of that may be a little more work but it adds endurance which eventually leads to hope which Christ has lavishly poured out unto us in his love. Romans 5: 3-5

Mario Party

I just thought i would let the world know that i love Mario Party 8 for the Wii. It is a great game of bonding and it keeps you from getting hurt like in the Nintendo 64's version of Mario Party.

Examples.

You would think their would be some cool story being my stigmata but their isn't. I was playing against Lindsay Carol Stroud aka My girlfriend = the woman i am madly in love with... that is right, i said it... MADLY IN LOVE WITH.

So any who, i was playing and there was a game where you had to spin the joystick as quick as possible and so i just went crazy and spun with the center of my hand for thirty seconds strait and after it was all done i looked down and noticed that my hand was blistered and in just a smidgen of pain.

All of this to say that i did dominate her that game and i was the SUPERSTAR!
