Snooze Please

Hey Ladies,

OMG, I’m late…

I hit  my snooze button on my alarm clock without ever opening my eyes.  I think I hit it multiple times within a course of an hour. Why did I hit the snooze button so many times this morning, so now I’m pressed for time. All my rushing, I’m not able to spend my much needed alone time with God, I can’t do my morning workout, I can’t make breakfast  and I run into rush hour traffic.

According to Webster-

Snooze- nap or something boring or uninspiring

Snooze Button- a button on an alarm clock that stops and resets the alarm for a short time later to allow for more rest

Now, if this was the only time this  happened I wouldn’t be so disappointed in myself. I’ve pressed the snooze button on my life too many times to count.  I was snoozing when I should have been working. I was snoozing when I should have been planning. I was snoozing when I should have been cleaning. I was snoozing when I should have been praying. I was snoozing when I should have been  living life.  The funny part about snoozing is you don’t realize the amount of time is passing.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the rest that was given to me by pressing snooze.

However, when I woke up I had to deal with the consequences of all that extra snoozing. I had to make some decisions in my life. Would I stay on the same course of snoozing through life because of fear, disappointment, laziness,  or would I allow my self to overcome myself?

Here’s your challenge- Ask your self- why are you snoozing on your dreams, responsibilities, relationships and your purpose. Take a look at what the bible says to us lazy folks. Yes, I had to admit it.   I was lazy.

Proverbs 6:6-11

Go to the ant, O lazy one;
Observe her ways and be wise,
⁷ 
Which, having no chief,
Overseer or ruler,
⁸ 
She prepares her food in the summer
And brings in her provisions [of food for the winter] in the harvest.
⁹ 
How long will you lie down, O lazy one?
When will you arise from your sleep [and learn self-discipline]?
¹⁰ 
“Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to lie down and rest”—
¹¹ 
So your poverty will come like an approaching prowler who walks [slowly, but surely]
And your need [will come] like an armed man [making you helpless].

My pastor have these sayings-

• Don’t Assume-  ( If you don’t know ask)
• Complete The Task-( Be a finisher)
• Follow Through- ( Keep your word)

Everyday you must make a decision  to show up for your life. Don’t snooze through life because of  laziness, difficulties, uncertainties or frustration. Live life on purpose, so no more snoozing please!
