…get up again

Between the end of Christmas tour and this morning, I’ve failed. I’ve let something slip and it’s had a ripple effect in every other area of my life.

It’s my morning routine and quality QT that I’ve been able to build up over the past months, I let it slip. I have some great excuses!

  1. Super tired after tour

  2. Super busy cleaning the house, moving

  3. A very special friend’s wedding

  4. Kids, life, ETC

I ‘deserved’ to sleep in for a few days, right? But at what cost? There’s always give-and-take.

But after feeling the effects of the lack of my morning routine, I hope I never repeat it again.

I realized that when I let it go, I’m not just giving up my personal devotions. There is so much more at stake.

  1. Loss of my personal connection time with my Creator

  2. Loss of my attitude for that day

  3. Lack of my desire to lead

  4. Impairment of my ability to “father” well

  5. Loss of quality husband skills

  6. Forgetfulness of our mission-vision

  7. Degradation of my work ethic

  8. Less ability to be a good friend

This morning I got back on track and I hope its a long time, before this happens again. I guess I never realized until now all that is made possible through my morning focus time. It is SO much more that it seems.

God help me to keep these mornings with you sacred, so that I can live each day to your fullest potential for me.
