Halfheartedly

It is no secret to those who know me well that I am a procrastinator. It is really not that I don’t want to do things, I just do not want to start if I can’t finish the project completely in the allotted time frame.

I know a man who built a new house. He refused to go in debt for the house so he saved some money built the exterior walls and roof, put in the doors and windows and moved his family in. They built the interior walls and ran the duct work and electrical wiring but ran out of money before they could do any drywall or finish work. They put up drop cloths and sheets on the walls of the rooms and moved their furniture in. Their kids grew up in that setting, partially because the guy I know became comfortable living in that environment, and because they lost focus on getting the job done and done right.

Let me leave you with this today. When God gives you a task, follow through with it to completion. Don't settle for work done halfheartedly.
