My biggest struggle in ministry is actually doing whatever it is I have set out to do on a specific day. I like to wait until the last minute to get something done. Sometimes I even wait until the last seconds before I get something done. I will wait until Sunday morning before I get everything ready for Sunday School. I will wait until the evening of a meeting before I print everything off for the people showing up to the meeting. I keep pushing things back until the last possible moment before I start them.
I like to occupy my time by keeping up on Facebook and Twitter. I have three different social media sites, four news sites, two emails, and six video game sites bookmarked. I spend more time surfing my bookmarks than editing and preparing curriculum. Even now as I write this I toggle between three different websites to keep my mind off of what I should be doing.
The consequences for my distraction always result in stress. Because I am not prepared ahead of time I have stress at the last minute to make sure everything is ready. My ministry isn't as good as it could be, or sometimes as good as people deserve.
Don't be like me! Just Do It!
