I am a sprinter. I have always been.
When I was in high school I quickly realized that the most frequently tardy people were the ones that were in track and field. It was never the long distant runners, the vaulters or the jumpers. the sprinters would always be late. They would walk so slowly to class. The faster times they had, the slower they would normally walk. It would seem that 95% of the time they were the slowest walking human beings but man, that 5% made up for it all. They were as fast as lightning.
I am that kind of sprinter. I feel that the majority of my life has been a slow walk. I have my moments where I run as hard as I can but they are few. I have the potential to speed past but I don't do it.
If slow and steady wins the race then I will lose every time. I don't know if I believe that though. I think I just need to learn when to sprint. If I were to sprint often but for shorter distances, I think I would have a lot more time and energy to do what needs to be done.
This week I plan to not be wasteful with my time. I am not going to go on facebook or much on the computer in general. I am allowed to blog here and check my email but that's about it. I do this for a few reasons. I need to be diligent again and space to be intentional with God.
I don't really know what will come out of this. I hope that it will be productive. I guess we shall see.
In other news, my teacher is convinced that my writing is poor and that I need a lot of practice. My conclusion is that I hate academic papers and I do not invest all of my efforts into them. So now I am expecting a C in that class. Strangely I am okay with that because I can't write in regular English sentences. None of this is real English.
