2.12.25 - do not delay
Good morning ,
I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is I finally finished editing Chapter 5 of my book I'm writing! The bad news is it took me a whole month to do it. It wasn't that I didn't have time - I just didn't prioritize it.
I wrote in my planner on January 10 to edit chapter 5. Well, I read through it that day but there was so much left to add. Unfortunately, writing this book has sort of fallen on the back burner. I finished my goal of writing the first draft last year, but the next steps have been in slow motion.
On January 30, I wrote in my planner to edit Chapter 5. Well that day came and went and there was nothing done. Every day I thought, "I still need to do that," but unfortunately, never did anything.
Then February 6, I wrote in my planner again to edit Chapter 5. I wish I could tell you that I was able to check it off but that wasn't the case. :(
Finally, on February 10, I sat down in front of my fire place and finished Chapter 5.
It brought me so much joy. I was reminded of the faithfulness of God. I was reminded to do the crazy things that God places in my heart, even though they make zero sense at the time. I was reminded that God loves our obedience, and when we are obedient, we begin to see his plans unfold right before our eyes.
The truth is, I delayed because I didn't want to do the hardest thing on my to do list. Everything else is something I'm familiar with. It's something that I know. If I do this, then that will happen. Writing a book is something completely out of my comfort zone. I actually have no idea what I'm doing. I'm just writing my story and praying it brings hope to whoever reads it. In all honesty, I'm nervous for anyone to read it. Then people will know what all I've encountered. Maybe they will judge me or think different of me?
I don't know. What I do know is God placed it in my heart to write this book and if it brings one person to salvation or closer to him, then that will be wonderful.
I want to remind you to stop delaying the things you know you are supposed to be doing right now. I keep going back to what I know instead of leaning into the new things God has for me. I encourage you to do the same.
I challenge you to take one step closer today to the thing that God has placed in your heart to do! I promise your obedience will make a difference.
I appreciate you being a part of my community. It's always more than skin care :)
