I crawled into bed last night determined to get up early and spend time with the Lord this morning. To make certain I didn't oversleep and miss my dedicated time with Jesus, I set my alarm for six. My girls get up as early as seven, so I wanted to give myself an hour before there was any chance of them getting up. There's nothing more frustrating to me than being disturbed and losing my cool during my time with the Lord. Plus, let's face it- children can be and often are a distraction.
The alarm went off. I groaned and hit the clock with the intention of getting up. But instead, in the few minutes I started praying I dozed back to sleep and my girls woke me around 7:45. Lesson learned? Don't pray in bed. I've got to find a better place to spend time with the Lord. My bed just isn't going to cut it- even if it is the most comfortable place in the house.
The baby should go down for her nap soon, so I'll try again then. I had really hoped to put God first in my day this morning. Tomorrow's another day. Hopefully I'll be able to keep my committed time then. Looking forward to my Bible study and prayer time later this morning when the house is quiet. There's something so refreshing about being in the presence of God.
