…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!
Super tired after tour
Super busy cleaning the house, moving
A very special friend’s wedding
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.
Loss of my personal connection time with my Creator
Loss of my attitude for that day
Lack of my desire to lead
Impairment of my ability to “father” well
Loss of quality husband skills
Forgetfulness of our mission-vision
Degradation of my work ethic
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.
