Doing school online can be a daunting task. There are times when I am just not feeling it. The problem is not that I don’t feel well. I would rather be doing something else. I have discovered refurbishing old furniture, and I also discovered that I am good at it. The more I do it, I more better at the scraping and sanding and the painting along with creativity. I sold my first piece (an antique desk) a week ago, and I was so excited. I have a lot of finished pieces on Facebook Marketplace that is getting a lot of hits…just want some buyers.

But I still have assignments to get done. Uggh!

I suppose the problem is though am getting A’s (which surprises me), when I write papers, I am not sure what I am writing is correct. I have due dates of Saturday, Monday and Wednesday. Since I am writing this on a Saturday, I had to get a paper done. But it could have been submitted Thursday, but I kept thinking and thinking on what to write until this evening came, knowing I needed to take action. So, the writing began. And much to my surprise the ideas came and started flowing from my brain to the screen, and before long it was finished, editing got done and the paper was submitted. What did I learn from this week regarding school?

The conclusion is once I applied myself by just doing it, including textbook reading (which was challenging this week) and not spend a lot of time of if this should be written or not, but instead to just get started and see what happens. When I make the decision to get it done, the writing starts flowing, and my 150 – 200 words get done, just like it happened tonight.

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. Proverbs 16:3 NIV

When you do include God in what needs to be done, the help will come, and it will get done.

Now if I can just clean up my messy apartment, and iron my clothes…
