You must diligently obey the commands of the Lord your God—all the laws and decrees he has given you.
Do what is right and good in the Lord's sight, so all will go well with you. - Deut 6:17-18

A day in the life of ME.
How is it that a kindergartener can get SO much Homework?? Jeez-Louise!!
You'd think he was preparing for the FCAT or some Midterm!
So that was my morning. Isaiah was able to finish all of it (in the car) on our way to his school.
I don't really like dropping him off with the cross guard though, but man was I pressed for time!
You should see his little frantic face...almost looked like he was gonna jump off a plane or about to go into surgery. Anyway, the fact of the matter is, that the weekend came and went, and this little guy had an excessive amount of HW that could have been done over the weekend.
Although he spend the weekend @ his grandmother's, its not the first time we go through this Manic-Monday scenario.
The bible tells us that we most be diligent with our time.
2 John 1:8 says that when we are diligent we will receive a full reward. It speaks about not relying to laziness.
We must do what is right at all times. Can you imagine if we actually did do what God asked us to do, when He did? Or we simply did what we did when we were supposed to?
We would avoid so many set backs, so many disappointments.
You know, I came to the conclusion, that it all boils down to obedience.
It is part of our human nature to be rebellious. Whether its passive rebellion or active rebellion, our free-will tends to always fall towards what's more comfortable, therefore causing us to be laid back.
The result of that opens the door to disobedience. Food for thought!

Father God. Help me to be diligent with all the things that you have assigned for me to do, specially when it has to do with my children. Allow me to be able to separate what's really important and give me the wisdom to prioritize and divide my time according to your will and your commandments. I ask you this in Jesus name. Amen.
