No Time Like the Present

I got this feeling the other day that if there are things I want to do in my life, I should do them now. It wasn't a feeling that my life is coming to an end or anything like that, but it was more of a feeling like "What are you waiting for? Your life is NOW!" It reminded me of the quote that says that your life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. People at church are asking me to do different things, like the mission team and to start a big campaign to spread the word about the mentoring ministry we're undertaking, and there was this thought in my head that said, "Well, maybe not now, because I won't get to do this and that and the other thing if I commit my time to this." But then I thought, "Jess, that's never going to change. Things are probably never going to slow down enough that you feel like you can commit to one thing without infringing on something else, so if this is something you want to do, DO IT NOW." Does that make sense? God has given me this time, and only one life to live (please don't think I'm referencing the soap opera), so if there's something placed in front of me that I want to do, now is the time. It was a weird feeling, somehow, like I had had this big revelation, though now as I share it with you it doesn't seem so profound. Anyhow, it was big for me, being one who spends so much time thinking of what I'd like to do later and what I'll do once _______ happens.
