Because of my husband's new job, I rise earlier than I did before...due to being pregnant and a bit "sicky" in the morning, I was often tempted to crawl back into bed after saying our farewells, but I have chosen most mornings to stay up, enjoy the quietness of the house, the stillness and the wonderful alone time with God. A result of having this time, just me, my Bible, and God...I enjoy the beauty of the rising sun...how it slowly and predictably rises ready for a new day. A day full of opportunities and choices ready to be lived out.
How can I make the best choice, make the most of my day, and follow God's instruction? The Lord has shown me in His Word...
"The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes."
Psalm 19:7&8
Thank you Lord for your Word, that will make me wise. For your precepts that are right, as I REJOICE in my heart, thank you for enlightening my eyes as I seek your wisdom.

I know what you mean. When Bill started his new job this past fall, he left much earlier then he used to. I was in early stages of pregnancy and often felt tired or sicky. But, I found it such a blessing to get up with my husband, make his lunch and see him out the door; and then enjoy a quiet morning with the Lord before the little ones were up. I found so much joy in His Word and in those moments.
Enjoy your time with Him. But I also pray that you can take the time to rest when you need it!
Lots of love,
Elizabeth
I'm always tempted to crawl back in bed, and I'm not even pregnant! I admire you for sticking it out!
By the way, what is your husband's new job? :) Being nosy...
Joy
Love those verses!
Hope you feel better soon. That is hard when you need to be up to care for other little ones.
