She&#8217;s great and all, but I&#8217;ve been swamped with other things. It&#8217;s my own neglect and fault, but now I&#8217;m reaping the fruit of my doings &#8211; procrastination. I can stall on some projects, but I&#8217;ll put my intense laser focus on something else (like cleaning and organizing). It&#8217;s illogical and unproductive, but I still do it. Ugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I get it. I get it. This &#8220;habit&#8221; doesn&#8217;t serve me, but when I&#8217;m under a lot of stress (many things to do and hardly any time to get them all done), I revert back to it. I used to think that I was pressuring myself, but I realized (just recently), that it&#8217;s my environment too. Literally. If my work area is cluttered, that&#8217;s a problem. Yet I prefer everything at my finger tips. Frustrating. Inconvenient. Necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe it or not, but that makes me wonder more about the virtuous woman. (I can&#8217;t stay away from her.) How did she manage? Likely she didn&#8217;t have a procrastination problem. I wonder if she had any bad habits, or if she worked through them. Maybe she matured and that&#8217;s what we are all doing. We are maturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The virtuous woman isn&#8217;t my model, Yahushua is my goal; I desire to become more Messiah-like. His character, his fruit, those are my prizes and in the process, I will be mature like the virtuous woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s a nice thought. Actually, it&#8217;s a lifelong goal. My goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What are some of your goals?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a week, so I&#8217;m taking a micro-vacation from studying the virtuous woman.
