challenge

Tonight at young life club in sun prairie my friend Katherine issued this challenge to each and every listening soul in that basement, that each person goes home and, upon reflection of the day's goodness, determine what irks us the most and then CHANGE it.

I recognize I tend to sit and think about what really bothers me but I never do anything about it.  I just let it continually affect my life and my attitude.  So tonight, Katherine's dare has not fallen upon deaf ears.  I gladly take this challenge and will, from tonight onward, stop sitting down watching the world fly by.  I am going to take ACTION. I will not dwell on the things that cannot possibly be changed but, on the things that I can adjust.  I vow to use all my power to do what I can.

Now this may not look like a lot in my life at the moment, as I am not bothered by much and have been raised to take things with a grain of salt, but, I believe these (however little) changes will affect my life in majestic and marvelous ways.  To start off, I am going to stop using TV (including hulu and other forms of online TV viewing) as a distraction and an act of procrastination.  In fact I want to try to limit my total TV watching to less than an hour a week.  I cannot even imagine how much extra time I will be presented with and hopefully this will also help with my multitasking shenanigans that I have been trying to work on.

Now I am greatly going to need to rely on You, my dad, to be my rock and my reminder in this time of radicalness.  I pray that You become my procrastinations, my distractions throughout my days.  Please set my heart on fire for You and put my words into ACTION.  I love You!!!!!!
