One of the most important parts of the morning is my coffee mug. As I rise early and it's still dark, I creep downstairs and I know I don't need any other light except the blue light on my Keurig . I quietly fumble around in my cabinets for a coffee mug. Then a get my creamer out of the fridge. As a look at my Keurig, I see the water level is low, but it looks like there just might be enough water for one cup. I take a chance, risking the disappointment of those flashing words on the screen "needs more water". But my risk pays off and it turns out I have just enough to meet my need at that moment. What I blessing it is!! With pure delight, I run upstairs to my room, quietly as not to wake anyone. My alone time with God is so important. Still without any lights on, I open one of my blinds. So I can bring in the daylight thinking about God. I know that in the morning if I get up and seek Him. He gives me exactly what I need for that day. I am praying that as I reach out to you, you will find hope, peace, encouragement, and connection.
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...
