I have become a procrastinator. I have stopped following schedules and couldn't even tell you what time it is. Things pile up and get messy (especially with an almost 3 year old).
This past week, Southern California was hit with four major winter storms. My East Coast mind says, "It's just rain...don't worry." Well come Wednesday night and all the flooded streets and mess, my mind clicks - We have no flash lights or candles!!!! So, I trollop out to Target in the rain and the mud and purchase the desired flashlights, batteries, diapers, and other items for the rain. Mind you, now it has been raining for three days. There's water in the living room, the pantry cupboard, and outside. Here's a picture of my current pantry cupboard - a card table in the dining room. What a week it has been....
Then today, there are ants ALL OVER THE KITCHEN COUNTER!!! I hate ants. Despise. Loathe. Get the picture. Homeschool was cancelled on account of ANTS! L and I stripped the counters, scrubbed, and cleaned as if it was spring. Here she is on top of the refrigerator, cleaning the tops of the cupboards. As I said, we did serious scrubbing.
All this to say, I haven't been prepared lately. I've put things on hold. Then God, in His infinite wisdom, speaks to me as I review L's verses for AWANA. Here's the verse...are you ready?1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 -- For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
So are you ready? I've got to stop procrastinating in my spiritual life and get busy...maybe this does have to do with what I was planning on posting...until tomorrow.....
