I was cleaning my room today and as I swept I hear this marble going across my floor. Now don't laugh but this marble has been on the ground in my room for two or three weeks. I have swept knowing it was there but didn't do anything. Finally, I picked it up. I thought of how there are so many things that I know I need to do and I don't do them or I take forever to do them, known as procrastinating. James really comes to life when he says in chapter 2:14 & 22 "What good is it my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds?...........his faith was made complete by what he did" Let's organize, know what we must do, and do it! Eph 5:16 Reminds us that the days are evil so we must make the most of every opportunity! 1 Thessalonians 5:14 says to warn those who are idle. Not doing something or just simply putting it off may be laziness.
Side note: Let's not beat ourselves up about things we haven't done or need to do, but realize that we can now and take action!

you are so right J'Lae, It is a great thing to be able to trust in God and pick things up and just "do and keep going" I really missed our weekly study this week. Thanks for the encouragement. Love you, Tana
