I've wanted to be a writer for a very long time.  Even took the classes and got the degree (ask me today what I think of college).  The professors always stressed, "Writers write!!!" 

I don't know if I'm really that undisciplined, or if life and its responsibilities get in the way.  Ashamedly, I must admit it's a little of both and probably too much of the former.  And it's not just writing.  My house is often a wreck, and all those little homeschool-looking things get set aside just so I can survive the day and get the necessities done. 

I know that the in the end I want to have children who love the Lord and live for Him.  I want to see Him face to face and hear Him say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Enter into thy rest."  I don't think He'll be concerned, first and foremost, with whether I kept up on my blogging.  But will He care that I squandered the writing abilities and opportunities He has given?  I don't think He'll care that my home wasn't as perfectly ordered as a page out of Better Homes and Gardens, but will He care that I didn't truly do ALL things as unto Him? 

HELP, Lord!  I need discipline!  Please spur me on to be more organized, energetic and productive in ways that would honor You.  Help me to not waste my moments - the time is short, and there is much to be done!

PS- Lord, thank You for giving me the work that I have and the new baby on the way! Praise God from Whom all mercies flow!
