Goooooood Morning Michigan! Yep, I said that in my head in the best morning radio broadcasting voice I could muster up at 5:30 a.m.! I think I might be crazy for getting up this early when my 6 month old is still sound asleep, but.. I'm willing to risk that.
I think I am going to start a new plan to help me stay more on top of things in our home. Phil gets up SO early. All this month he is up by around 4:30-45 every morning, only to work a super long day (yesterday he wasn't home until after 8:00 p.m.) come home, try and de-stress a little and then go to bed only to do it again the next day. Thankfully, he is getting off 1/2 days every other day, but that's besides the point. I'm so thankful for him and the hard work and long hours that he is putting in. Made me think... there never is a lack of things that I could be doing around here. Usually I just try and cram whatever I can in while Giuliana is sleeping or playing really quietly, like you saw yesterday in my picture. Why not get up when Phil does and, number one, start my day off right? With God! (yes, I know, genius idea huh?) I have been under the thought until now that I would sneak it in during one of her naps or usually before bed. Not so much.. Besides, starting my day off WITH Him is my goal for this year. Not ending it with Him.
My point in mentioning it on here is that I'm hoping to help myself stay accountable. Maybe get up, blog and spend time with the One who gave me this day. Made me think of this book that I got for Giuliana a while back. It's one of my favorite childhood songs, so you can imagine my excitement when I found this book at Family Christian! Rise and Shine and give God the glory GLORY! Rise and Shine and give God the glory GLORY, Rise and Shine and give God the glory GLORY, children of the Lord!
Now I may not get a blog done every morning, because my other point to getting up early is to get a head start on my house cleaning for the day, but I'll see. I would like to, but that part may have to wait until that evening or later in the day at least. We shall see friends, we shall see! :)
Anyways.... enough talk, and more action.
~Be a Blessing to someone today~, they'll wonder what's wrong with you! :)
Peace, Love and Giving Glory,
Linz
