summer homework...

it is august. thus, it is the month when all high schoolers start their summer homework. as you might guess, i have procrastinated (as i mentioned in my previous post)! but i feel quite accomplished right now, because i just finished reading "wuthering heights"! and not only that, i have finished my AP american history homework!! all 100 pages of textbook and 8 pages of packet! so i'm left with the essay for wuthering heights, the reading of adventures of huckleberry finn, and the essay for huckleberry finn! you know that feeling, when you know that you need to do something or finish something, and you convince yourself that you will just do it later, or tomorrow? i think that's when we start to fail. and i'm not just talking summer homework. i think with all things. we let ourselves procrastinate way too much. i am a procrastinator. but really... in this life, there shouldn't be any room for procrastinating. none of us know how long jesus is placing us on this earth. and i'm not saying this to be depressing or shocking... but tomorrow might be too late. in fact, you might never finish reading this post. i might not finish writing it. god is the only one who knows how many breaths we will breathe or how many times our hearts will beat. and since god gives you every breathe and every pulse, why not use them to glorify him? not tomorrow... not tonight... not in 5 minutes... now.
