ROUNDTOITs

The first time I ever heard about a ROUNDTOIT was in a book written by Chuck Swindoll - Come Before Winter.  It was a very inspiring book meant to jump start - or rather reignite - my passion for God.  I was moved into action and got my very own ROUNDTOIT. But sadly, a few weeks went by (okay, okay, we need honesty right?) a couple of days went by and I misplaced my brand new ROUNDTOIT.  Along with my missing ROUNDTOIT weny my intentions of getting up early to do my daily "Time Alone With God", my plans for a daily workout to get into shape, my perfect meal plan for losing weight, and my regimen for keeping my laundry at a manageable state.  My ROUNDTOIT was nowhere in sight. When I was faced with the intended task of the day, I would often tell myself that I needed to get a ROUND-TO-IT.

Scripture does not support putting things off.  I've known this for quite a long time - for as long as I've called myself a christian.  So if I were to take to heart, 1 Corinthians 10:31 - "Whatsoever you do, do it all for the glory of God."  Then waiting to get a ROUNDTOIT is not the way to go.  I just need to start doing - and thus ultimately giving glory to God.  Proberbs 14:23 says - All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.  So I guess you can say I am living in spiritual poverty and physical poverty (poor health).  Perhaps we can say my kids and husband are in clothing poverty due to the fact they constantly have to scrounge around for clean clothes.

So unless I take action now, today, this minute, I will remain where I am now - the same - no change.  And the mounds of laundry will not disappear if I just keep putting it off.  I will never get to my ideal weight if I sit around thinking I will schedule it for tomorrow.  I will never be able to draw closer to GOD if I just talk about the things I need to do but don't actually do them.  So here I go - signing off to spend sometime with the Awesome Creator who loves me so much that He sent His only Son to die on the cross for me.  Who paid a hefty price only to keep waiting for me to notice all He has done for me and who keeps waiting to spend some time with me.  I am now getting a Round-to-it and I will never lose it again because my Savior Loves Me and I love Him too.
