To anyone who made getting up early and getting in the Word your New Year’s resolution:

Yes.

Yes, you can.

My whole life I was a “sleeper-inner”. Like a professional. You can ask my dad. However, in 2017 I set a goal to get up before everyone else and spend time with my bestie – God.

And I did.

Was it easy?

No.

Did I do it?

Yes.

And all these years later I’m still setting that alarm and getting up.

With God, lots of prayer, and lots of determination – the resolution became a reality.

God split the Red Sea, y’all. He can make you a morning person. Psssshhhhh.

Let me tell you something, I’m going on year 7 of this and I’m a literal Ray of Sunshine in the mornings now. I mean, after a cup of coffee of course.

I love it. I love the quiet. I love the sweet whispers between God and myself. I love the stillness. I love that it’s “ours”.

The only day I don’t set my alarm is on Saturday – if the kiddos don’t have some type of something that is.

Summer break, Christmas break, winter break, it doesn’t matter – the alarm is being set. And I’m getting up, and I’m getting set.

Set up for excellence. Because that’s what being in God’s word does.

Y’all, just trust me. It’s the sweetest, best time of the day.

If I can, you can.

Because God can.

7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7
