Actually, the thoughts on Jerem...Thanks Elizabeth. Actually, the thoughts on Jeremiah and Luke were from my personal worship time. You know how I have been struggling so with fitting everything into the day that I want to...and how I teeter between waking with Matt and snoozing longer than I should. SO, a few weeks ago, I began ANOTHER attempt to maintain the REGULAR schedule of waking with Matt.<BR/><BR/>It has worked wonderfully well because I am much more prepared for the day-both physically and spiritually. Exercising, reflecting, praying and learning helps me to go about the days tasks refreshed. I have noticed more patience with the children. More introspection throughout the day. More enjoyment all around. And I am not as tired at the end of the day. ODD since some of those mornings come PRETTY early at 4:30 am!<BR/><BR/>I am planning a post on this very subject in the next week or so-once I get all the pictures from this weekend on here and have a bit of a moment to myself. <BR/><BR/>Anyway~I *think* I am happy to report that I am not struggling with waking up in the morning any more-and look forward to it. I think this might be a routine that I WON'T fall back on...and I can only contribute it God revealing himself to me through the scriptures. Hurray!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983592950942904914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-64827852994124664022007-12-03T07:52:00.000-05:002007-12-03T07:52:00.000-05:00Thank you for sharing a bit from your devotions. ...Thank you for sharing a bit from your devotions. Our devotional time is practically nonexistent right now, and it was good to glean a little from yours. Oh, and I love the bible cover Matt made for you. For some odd reason, I don't remember it, but it is beautiful and definately an heirloom to treasure!!!Full of Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02731302203793957663noreply@blogger.com
