I woke up this morning and "I just wanted my coffee". But before that could happen I had to get my daughter's shows on, get her juice in her hand and get her breakfast on the table. I dragged my foot through the normal motions of the morning, tired be ever so grateful for my life. Noah went through a spell this week of waking me up in the middle of the night and last night was the first night that we were back to normal. Although I feel like it's been a long time before I actually woke up rested. But I'm not complaining because once I get going I'm ok. I've been trying to eat healthy breakfast. Oatmeal this morning. I'm trying to start our morning slow and a little lazy this morning. We will be going to the pool with friends at around 11am. Normally I would of planned some activities for Noah this morning, but Reggie and I had a long day tomorrow and I just didn't have the energy to prepare. So I'm getting myself I "Get out of activities, to rest" card.
When I begin my day with a fast pace and a mind to "get things done" it really never ends well. I burn out pretty fast. When I take a "rest stop" at the very beginning of my day with God and linger a little, the day always goes better. Micah 7:7 says: Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me. It seems as if when I don't start my day with God a cycle of self-dependence starts and it never ends well. When I start my day with God, dependence on Him starts my day and He reminds me during morning devotional time to lean on Him to get through the day. It helps me to not get "caught up" I pray that for today, that I don't get caught up. Noah is home from school, not feeling very well. I just want to lean on God and trust Him to bring her comfort and help her to heal today. I'm praying that I to would...
