7 things I gotta say

1) email people back right away. It's not even that I forget, but I put it off for a day or two (or three or more) to respond. The first time I read the email I give it a cursory glance and look at it more thoroughly later. I don't really know why..it has almost become a habit. A bad habit.

2) call people back. Same deal as above. But for some reason I don't really like to talk on the phone. In middle school, I was all about it. Talked to some people 7x a day on the phone (which was craziness), but I didn't mind it at all. Now sometimes I just want to shut out the world. Sad huh? This is not what Jesus has called me to do.

3) stop watching so much tv. I watch a lot, even when I don't even like the show all that much. It's a distraction, it's easy, and sometimes I almost feel like I need it. Is this called an addiction?

4) Take responsibility of life. I need to spend my time more wisely. Just..my room is a mess. It only takes about 15 minutes to clean it but somehow I don't. I always plan to, but it never gets done. Devos too. If I'm looking for a Godly man in the future who loves God and is faithful and diligent and disciplined, yet I can't do that myself..what kind of double standard is that? And not just because of that, but because my God deserves it, and I am stealing that away from Him.

5) Serve whole heartedly. Love serving, love worship. This is a heart thing that I need to work on, that God needs to work on.

6) Pray. I forget prayer a lot. A lot. It's a direct line to God and I'm missing out.

7) Stop letting Satan tell me lies about myself, about other people. If I could stop listening to all the junk and just focus on what God says, that would be marvelous.

I have been struggling with all this stuff for a while. And I wish I could say I'm working on it, but I don't think I've really started, truly started "working on it" yet. But I really want to. I really do. So do it right? I'll try.
