Rest my love, rest...

So, some mornings I get up, shower (which in itself is amazing), and meet with Him... some mornings I curl up in my husband's bath robe with my Bible in hand and we spend time together, in the peaceful-ness of my house. Some morning are spent together... here...



And then some mornings, I hit snooze, not just once, but for every 5 minutes for more than an hour. Yes, my husband LOVES it when I do that. Some mornings I sleep in and choose to not meet with Him. Some morning the warmth of my bed draws me in and I cannot bring myself to get up. Some mornings I don't even hear the alarm and wake up just in time to hurry through the morning routine, and these are the days I skip the shower...



And then, I am reminded of His Word...

Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. Psalm 116:7
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. Psalm 62:5

I am reminded that it does not matter how much time I spend with Him in the morning, rather how much of my entire day is spent with Him. "Dancing" to praise music in the car as we drive to day care, reading over my scripture memory cards over lunch, googling scripture rather than the latest Hollywood issues... so for now, I will rest knowing that He cares for me and I Him and when I rise, my entire day is going to be spent with Him, regardless of if we start the day off together, comfortable in my husbands bath robe with my Bible in hand.

I hope this is a lesson I can pass onto my little one at an early age, because the "I missed my morning time guilt" sucks!
