It's 9:23 am and I've already had a cup of coffee, went on a walk/jog had breakfast and got my little one down for a nap..I feel pretty accomplished! its a little chilly our for a walk but I bundled my little guy up and we just went for a short one which put him to sleep. :) I needed some energy which I knew A nice cool brisk walk would do and he needed a nap. I now feel ready and better about taking on this day..I woke up this morning thinking AHH i just want to sleep! Want to hear something funny..!? Monday I was up at 4:45 not by choice..and I said hey I think I am becoming a morning person this isn't so bad. well now its Friday and I am definitely not a morning person yet.
Here is something I have been trying to do every morning when I hear cope cry and I wake up I immediately thank God for this day and ask him to strengthen me and give me joy and help me to have a great day.
I obvious don't get a giant boost of energy but I am starting my day off right..we can't go through our life or even our day without the help and the strength of God. I actually like waking up early most days and getting the day started. Last weekend I slept in and it totally threw me off. it's still a struggle though to open my eyes and get out of bed when all my body wants to do is sleep.
I am talking about something small like sleep and waking up in the mornings..we all have to wake up in the mornings. Whether it is for work, to get your kids up for school, or your kids wake you up for some reason or another we all have to wake up in the morning at a time we don't want to but there are other things in life we have to do that is a struggle for us. Example* going to work, working with people who are not nice, going to school, school work, looking for a job, making friends, fear of failing, fitting in, trying to be the best we can be..we all struggle with things whatever it may be.
Something I have told my kids on Sunday mornings a lot is go to God, talk to him, tell him your fears your struggles start your day with him and ask him to help you. which is why I have been practicing it..i try to practice what I preach.
So I encourage you wherever you are today to tell God about it! :)
Psalm 143:8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life
Psalm 5:3 In the morning, O LORD, hear my voice. In the morning I lay my needs in front of you, and I wait.
Psalm 86:11-12 Teach me your way, LORD, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever.
Psalm 59:16 But as for me, I will sing about your power.Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love.For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress.
Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
