Putting it Off No More

I am happy to report, after putting if off much too long, and admitting it yesterday, last night I braved the freezing temperatures to clean out my side of garage. I put on my pajama pants (as they are very warm), a long sleeve shirt, a winter coat, hat and gloves. It only took me 15 minutes, but by the time I was finished carrying things down to the basement, I was out of breath.
I was very happy to have my garage all cleaned up and out.
Yesterday when I got home, I just kept thinking about putting it off, putting it off yet again. Would it really matter? What’s the big deal? I don’t feel like cleaning in the cold. Then I thought about what it would be like to scrape my windows, brush snow off the car every morning. Not fun. I thought about how I said on my blog I was going to get it done, and I needed to get it done, so I did. What an accomplishment. I was happy I got it all cleaned out.
The stupid thing I did–I didn’t park in my garage last night, so this morning, I still had to scrape my windows.
Application: Even though I got it accomplished, what good is it if I don’t use it?
Do you see any areas in your walk with Jesus where this can be applied?
