They suggest picking one thing to work on over 30 days. This has really hit home for me. I guess I really haven't thought about being intentional with my life before. While there are many, many things I could choose to work on my first is going to be getting up on time.
This mama loves her sleep. Truly loves it. I also have a hubby that while not working allows me to sleep in. :) Lately I have really been feeling a tug to start getting up before everyone. That is tricky here as we have some early risers. I just think that early in the morning is such a wonderful time to spend with God, get chores going, and just just be ready for the day. I also have some back problems and it takes some time in the morning to get all stretched out and moving. A lot easier to do when only I am awake and not already chasing toddlers. :)
Well, it has proven to be a much harder challenge than I thought it would be. When my alarm goes off I either turn it off or snooze too many times. Or some nights I don't even set it already letting my desire to sleep in win. I don't think I am an early riser or a night owl. I could go to bed at 11pm and sleep until 7am. That would be nice. However I have kids up at 6am so then I am already behind the bus....homeschool bus of course.
Anyway, so for the next 30 days I am going to try to be intentional about getting up on time in the morning. I know I will miss some much loved sleep but I think the benefits will be worth it. I will probably find myself going to bed a little earlier as time goes on too. So for now I will be ready and waiting for sunrise. :) and in the desert they are so amazing.
