4:30 Wake Up Call

Last month I started waking up at 4:30am because of my 6 month old. So I stayed awake one morning so I could have some quiet time with the Lord.

Because of my busy household I have found that 4:30am is actually a great time for quiet. Everyone is asleep including my husband so it truly is just me, the Lord, and my yowling cats. So I do it now almost everyday!

It’s really been a rich time of introspection and connection with God and honestly I think it has been the glue that’s held me together each day.

Once again I am making new discoveries about God; rekindling our lost romance. I’m finding that even though I’m surrounded by a world of great uncertainties God is still the same and He is with me.

The fruit that’s coming out of my morning devotions is pretty incredible. I’m still tired and overwhelmed at times but I feel like somehow I am making better decisions and I’m feeling a little more aware.

I’m making room in my day for God and allowing Him to speak into my heart and I’m already beginning to see the fruit.
