I'm going Christmas shopping tomorrow with someone who hates shopping.  I don't enjoy it much myself either. I'm related to some Marathon Shoppers, but I'm more like my dad who prefers sitting on the bench at Wal-Mart.

 It's too much pressure.  Either I'm locked in to the list searching for specific items that can't be found or I'm wandering aimlessly; Jason dragging his feet behind me.  Honestly, I consider myself lucky that he agrees to go with me- I'm no loner.

Seems reading my Bible I found some words procrastinating, problematic shoppers like myself might find helpful.

I'm holding these words hostage in my heart as a pre-prayer for tomorrow's trip.

The LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands.

(Please let there be matrimonial harmony.  And please let their be pleasant people and short lines at the cashier,....... or patience)

He has watched over your journey through this vast desert.  (These forty years) the LORD your God has been with you, and you have not lacked anything.

 Deuteronomy 2:7

(Hoping for a not lacking anything/done at the end of the day list)

With words of assurance and my shopping buddy, I'm ready for the adventure.

This trip is in the bag.
