I am often a last minute person so I love a deadline. And I love to get really close to it. I get started and then that looming deadline gives me the momentum to power through.

I guess that is just how I am wired!

I still think I do my best work when I am backed into a corner. But as my own boss, I have to artificially create my own deadlines so I get projects done. When I say something out loud, I am committing to it.

PrayerPoints is also one of those things. I have committed to posting them every day during Lent and I do it. I have so many PrayerPoint devotions that I could have a little book of them. It’s hard to believe but 40 a year for 10+ years of anything adds up.

If God has planted an idea on your heart, consider telling one other person about it if that helps you to get motivated and start the the thing. Create your own deadlines or have a person who will help you in a loving (but firm) way to get on the path of what you are trying to accomplish.

And always pray for God to help you see the best way for you. I can bemoan that this is how I am or I can trust that God created me and loves me and will work with my personality or bent.

And He will delight to do the same for you!
