Finals and final thoughts

This week starts finals for me at school. I have until the middle of next week to finish all my papers, turn in late work, study and take tests. This week has been coming all semester long yet now that it is here it seems like it snuck up on me. There is now so much to do that I feel a little overwhelmed! The strange thing is I have been thinking about how this week is the very opposite of life. In real life you do not get to cram in the stuff you need to at the end. In fact everything that put off remains undone when your, um, done. This, of course, has started me thinking, if I knew that I only had until the middle of next week what would I do? Would my choices be the same? I know that for finals I will give up sleep, time with friends and family, favorite TV shows, reading for fun and all sorts of things just to get the work done. What do I need to do to get God's work done? What do you need to do to get God's work done?
