Procrastinator!

So how lazy am I that I have not posted anything in a year!  Facebook seems to be dominating my time.  Well that and school.  Christmas is just two days away and I haven't even finished wrapping my gifts.  Guess I had better get going.  I also have a ton of school work to do over the break and I down right don't want to do it.  My JPAS is due and my motivation to get my folder ready is somewhere in left field and I am not even at the baseball field.  Oh well, the day before I will be up late and up early trying to get it all done.  I am the worlds best procrastinator!  It is nice to know that I am good at something.

Now for something that I have done that is right!  I decided to memorize the Living Christ as my Christmas present to Jesus this year.  I was not sure I would be able to because my memory is a bit off.  Well maybe a lot off.  At any rate I decided to try.  I started about 3 months ago.  This morning I was able to get through the whole thing without looking at my cheat sheet.  (I am sure a made a few errors in there so it is not word perfect.)  At any rate I made it.  I realized as I was memorizing it that while I was giving the gift to my Savior, He was giving a gift to me.  He gave me the ability to actually make it all the way through.  What an incredible gift.  I will never be one up on the Savior.  He actually cares about little old me.  I am so thankful to Him.

Now I have decided that I want to memorize the mastery scriptures.  Because we are studying the New Testament in church, I think I will start with those.  I have the first one started.  I actually already know it I just have to get it a little smother.

Mathew 5:14-16

  • Ye are the light of the world.  A city that is set on the hill can not be hid.
  • Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
  • Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
I made a few errors that I had to correct.  With the Lord's help I will be able to do it.  Just maybe I am not losing my mind yet.

Now I had better get to the wrapping.  Then just maybe I will get to the school work.  (You can tell which I would rather do.)  Oh dinner needs to be in there somewhere but lucky for me we are having leftovers!  (Thanks David for making so much spaghetti!)

I will join you in the procrastinators club as well! I found myself wrapping on Christmas Eve, fast approaching midnight! I even ran out of paper, so the last few I got pretty creative. :)
