....but I recently joined a new club. The 5 o'clock...A.M.....club! Yes, 5 o'clock in the morning. Bright...well...actually dark and early. There is something about having 2 hours each morning to get myself ready for my day. I found it hard to get up at 8 a.m with the majority of my children who like to "sleep in" and get my time in with the Lord that I desperately need and crave each day. The days seemed to simply blow by and by the end of the night I am to tired to spend time with God the way I desire. My ADHD brain is far spent and I could not even hope to concentrate. I find myself rereading the same verse five or six times before I finally even realize that I am rereading the same verse.
So when I came across a post on this blog GirlTalk, I groaned at first, but saw the true beauty in intent behind the club. Giving myself two hours to delve into the word, to pray, or watch/listen to an encouraging message would be such a beautiful jump start to my day. Some mornings I have a snuggly little one who rises early at my side, or a teen who wants to watch a message on youtube with me and today I coaxed Tim out of bed thirty minutes early to have some time together before he left for a long day at work. Reading the Bible and praying with Tim before he left for work....that was a great way to start my day!!!!
It has only been a few days, but I hope to post again next week with a good report that I am still a member of the 5 o'clock club!
