I love the comfort of my cozy bed and the rumbling of my hub's loud breathing. It usually takes a scream through the baby monitor, or the entrance of one very loud almost 4 year old to pry me out of my cocoon of comfort.
I am a changed woman. I've been waking up a little after 6 (I still hit the snooze) to spend some time in Bible study. It's been three weeks and I actually look forward to getting up. My friend Beth joked about our new chair and a half in our library. "You drawing close to Jesus in that chair?" I am, and I love it.
My life at this stage is full of busyness. Managing a one year old (with fabulous hair) and his variety of therapist appointments, an energetic 3.8 year old and his alphabet, and my viking of a husband requires an extra dose of energy. (Hubs is such a help and a blessing) I have felt a new vigor and encouragement with this little time to myself. I'm digging in and scraping every last morsel of wisdom from my time in the Word. I'm praying for people instead of just saying I will. I'm starting my day with the right focus. Who knew in my battle for discipline, I'd win this tiny victory.
Next battle, weight loss . . .

I had to giggle when you called Shane a "viking of a husband" :) Love it. And love hearing about your victory!
ReplyDeletethis is fresh inspiration for me. i used to be good about getting up early, but as my kids got older (and sleep later) I tend to stay in bed longer. too long, actually. i'm wanting to get up at 6 again, so thanks for the fresh reminder that it is oh so worth it!
