First 6 A.M. with God
I went to a new bible study yesterday and somewhere in the talk of life as a Martha vs Mary, we all discovered that we were a room full of Martha's. It goes without saying that we all strive to be a Mary. However finding that life as a mother, a wife and a friend can get in the way. So my friend Nicole decides to throw down a challenge. She boldly states that we should start getting up at 6 a.m. and spend sometime as a Mary. (For those of you who don't know what a Martha or Mary is check out Luke 10:38-42) I was maybe the best way to put it "disturbed" at the thought of getting up at 5:50 a.m. I have not been up that early on purpose in some time. Upon getting up this morning it dawned on me (no pun intended) that I was already starting my day out with the wrong spirit. So pouring my cup of yummy coffee I changed my attitude. I found the experience of a quite house with nothing but the sounds of a humming refrigerator wonderful. I read a portion of the bible study and continued reading in Matthew. Spent some time praying for myself, my family and for some dear friends. It is now 7 a.m. and I have more energy than I know what to do with. Waiting to see how I feel around 2 ish this afternoon. The point of all of this is to challenge yourself out of a small comfort zone to enrich your life with Jesus. Spend sometime during your very busy day to put the priority on the one who makes all things possible in life.
