"Presumtual"

Raking leaves for my neighbor proved one thing: I'm a wimp. No, this didn't come as a surprise and no, no one else was surprised either. One good thing did come of it though: my endurance level reminded me of my presumptuousness

"This ought to take me, oh, about 2 hrs."* 

Guess what? I'm still working on those leaves, and it's only been a couple weeks! Alright there has been some rain, sickness, and... 

*I actually didn't give my neighbor an estimate, but it would have been close to "2 or 3 days" which is nowhere close to what's actually happened.

At least to myself, I have, in the past, made all sorts of commitments. Like my "grandiose" magic show, even my daily scheduling runs into serious trouble when it's time, or I should when it isn't time, to carry out these plans. This whole WilliamsForRep thing runs into serious trouble as well. How do I know if I will become a State Representative? Only God knows and only by his grace will I get anywhere at all. I don't honestly know what tomorrow holds, but I do know that God is in control and he has something probably a whole lot better than politics in store for me (and you too!)!

Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 
For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.  
James 4:13-15

  1. Trent,

    I don't think you sound wimpy....I think you sound busy.

    Time management is a huge problem for me, but I have finally realized that sometimes I just have to cut some activities if I want to mantain an A average in school.

    It is a constant struggle for me to mantain a balance between sanity, health, and accompishment. One of my weaknesses...

    I can't imagine what college will be like. :)

  2. Sounds can be deceiving... ... and it isn't just a time problem it's got something to do with muscle deficiency :)

  3. Sounds kind of like me.

    "there's not enough time" ... Not enough time for what!

    It usually turns out to be more like Trent's comment.

    DavidH,

    Welcome to the blog I... WAIT A SECOND, you're not THE DAVID H are you?

    In that case it is a huge honor to have your comment on this blog.

    I like the "not enough time for what!". Exactly, what is so important to us that we value it to the degree of spending all our time on it? We don't have time to read our Bibles? Yes we do, we just use that time doing something else we don't need to be doing.

    Can't get over the fact I might be responding to THE David H, on this blog!

    Thanks!

    -Trent
