Chasing Daylight

It is really funny how similar we all really are. We each have things that we do, that we think is lame and unlike anything that anyone else does. I was watching the season premiere of Nip/Tuck and the two doctors where talking with this fat woman. This fat woman started to get too big for herself and so she decided to stay on the couch, and so she never got up…not even to use the restroom, so because of her non movement and a few other factors her skin fused with the couch fabric. So they were asking her how she allowed herself to get like this, and this is what she said. When she was skinny she was a clean freak, she would just clean for hours, and when she started to gain weight it became harder and harder. So one day she decided to plan everything out in her head so tomorrow all she would have to do was just get up and do it. But when tomorrow came she would think about what she had to do so much that she would tell herself tomorrow, and time just went by like that until she became what was before them now.

As I was listening to this I was reminded of myself. Not the fat stuff, or the cleaning stuff, but the fact that I live in the world of tomorrow. I think about what needs to be done and try to plan everything out but when tomorrow comes I am already tired. I am really just putting off doing it. I plan and plan and plan but I always have a hard time doing things. I wonder why? I think that I am just worried that I will not do it right, or good enough, and so I plan.

I will be watching tv or a movie and someone will make a statement or do something that I only thought that I did. I will be so shocked for those brief moments…acting as though this has never happened before, until I remember the last time that this happened. How can all of us act so much alike, go through a lot of the same things, and only think that is a coincidence. I don't think that it could be a coincidence. It is just more evidence that we all have been created in the image of the same creator. What do you think?
