Stick-to-itiveness

One of the things that characterize my life is my lack of stick-to-itiveness. As I look at my life, I have so many things that I have started with great gusto and somewhere along the way have forgotten about it or have lost interest in it, such as the projects I have deserted around the house. I am waiting for a more convenient time to respond to some of my emails that are already a few years old. I have also started quite a few letters, which have been forsaken. I have a few commitments and resolves that have been forgotten, too. There are several “To do” lists buried in my “pile” file, a very large “Work in Progress” folder, and a rapidly growing “Current Work In Progress” folder on my computer. I would not be at all surprised if I do not finish this thought and it too, will go into one of these folders.

It is probably frustrating for those that have to deal with me and I lament that I am not able to do everything I intend to do. However, I try to remember that I am also a “Work in Progress” and that God is not like me. I remind myself that He will never forsake or abandon me (Hebrews 13:5) and that He will complete the work that He began (Philippians 1:6). In this, I find great relief and comfort and the strength to go on.
