Raise your hand if you write on a schedule? Sitting out here
in cyber land it is hard to tell if I’m the only person with both hands firmly
in lap. While it is embarrassing, I hope I am. That would mean each of you is
more disciplined than me.
Even though I
struggle with being disciplined, I refuse to give up. After all, there are over
thirty verses in the Bible concerning the subject, several in Proverbs. When I
read – Whoever loves discipline loves
knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid. – Proverbs 12:1 ESV, I
thought ouch! Not only do I need to be more disciplined, but now I need to
realize that all those tough critiques and rejections are things I shouldn’t
hate. And it is all too true. Nothing is
worse than scrambling around trying to finish a project at the last minute. I
won’t presume to speak for you, but when I’m in scramble mode I’m not turning
in my best work. Plus it is very stressful and I end up feeling like I’ve
failed before I’ve even hit send.
So this year
I’m not blazing any trails, and I still struggle with lack of discipline, but
I’m determined to work through the issue. I can either give up and throw the
towel in or keep working to overcome. I believe God has created us to be
overcomers. He’s already equipped me for the journey, now I just need to
utilize the tools He has given me.
What about
you? Are you writing on a schedule? Have you overcome self-discipline and
procrastination problems? I hope you’ll take a few minutes to share with me how
you’ve managed to be an overcomer. If you haven’t, share that as well. Either
way, maybe we can all learn from each other.
