While being in the cleaning business for over twenty years, I can honestly say that the worst part of my job was nothing to do with cleaning the houses or offices, but it was at the end of the day when it was time to refill the bottles with liquid cleaners and straighten up my vehicle. It was a proven fact that my next morning would go much smoother if I would have gone ahead and updated all my cleaning supplies when arriving home and finishing what I so dreaded.
Do you have a task that shouldn’t be such a big deal for you, but for whatever reason you can completely relate? When it came to the new construction sites or move-outs, I loathed everything about doing these jobs, except for picking up the check. I was determined to get the worst part finished first, as that helped me to mentally wrap my mind around everything else that needed to be accomplished.
Waiting until the next morning or putting off the worst part of the job, always proved to bring me regret. I think Ben Franklin said it best, “Don’t put off until tomorrow, what you can do today”. I wonder what ole’ Ben had put off that aided him in arriving at that conclusion?
I said all of that to say this, “It’s a blessing to wake up and see a new day without things that were left undone.”
Although I no longer work outside our home, I know that statement still holds much truth to other matters that anyone procrastinates in accomplishing, especially those things that we know we ought to do, such as: making that dreaded phone call, scheduling appointments that are long overdue, apologizing when necessary, or giving an awaited – yes or no answer. And for those that struggle with strongholds, it may be surrendering again and again.
~Question: “What have you been putting off? Could it be something in which ‘that particular’ tomorrow has yet to come?”
The Bible says in James 4:14 “Whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes is away.“

I’m nobody special, but because of Him, I know there’s something remarkably special about that! I find that everyday life can be a parable that is tied to the Gospel in some way. Writing, care-giving, gardening, and being a good wife, Mom, Meme, and friend, describes just a piece of who I am. A student of the Word, and although I don’t always live up to what I hope for, Jesus Christ certainly does.
Once I get past rough seasons, it seems that the disappointments and hard times, always end up giving me a drive to write, a passion to share, and a fresh perspective on life. From relationships, the loss of my father, cancer, letting go of a successful business after twenty years, to being a full-time caregiver, all these things have given me a reason to find God working something new in me. And in all these circumstances, I’m positive that it is for my eternal good.
One of my favorite things to do is converse with like-minded individuals and listen to their experiences of seeing God orchestrating His plans in their life as well. I also offer a bible study zoom meeting and encourage others in the faith.
Check out my blog and maybe you can relate. Please share your response in a comment or how God may speak to you. I find that meditating on a particular story or scripture from the bible, will usually speak in some way throughout the day if we are looking, but there within lies the key; looking!
The “Thought Provoking Questions” I ask can be tough, but they are biblical based. Consider taking one at a time, like a does of medicine. And if it doesn’t go down well, please take it serious and go to the Lord in prayer. His grace is sufficient, but at the same time it’s critical that we understand about being set apart. I am finding the more I look into the first two commandments that Jesus gave (Matthew 22:37-40), the more fearful the thought of being a Pharisee, and not knowing.
If you’re unsure about all this “God stuff”, and want to talk, please email me @ findinggodineverything@mail.com.
It would be a blessing to connect and hear from you.
