Success! At least for today :)

Well - my daughter woke up just before 4am and climbed into bed with us. So I told her to cuddle up to Daddy and I put the baby in his bed (he woke in the night ofcourse!). I was downstairs by about 4:20am and finally sat down at 4:30am. I actually did a little extra bible study till almost 6am. Thankfully, the baby didn't wake until 7am, so I was able to do an hour of needed housework. We are having company today and we also rearranged the living room yesterday, so I had some organizing and cleaning to catch up on before anyone could enter the house ;)

Am I tired - yes. Overtired - No. I'm refreshed. I've been thinking about some of the posts I've written and realized that I sort of expect that I'm going to be a bubble of energy as long as I spend time with the Lord early. But the truth is that I might have a good attitude, or at least be VERY aware of a not so good one, and I will be refreshed and strengthened in the inner man [woman;)]. This is a new routine afterall and it will take time to establish and get my body used to it. This is a self-discipline.

Well, I'd better get ready for church!

Praise the Lord for his goodness towards me, and I thank you Lord for putting up with me, a wretched sinner that I am. Amen.
