I just thought that you would like to have an update on how my struggle to wake up each morning, has been going. So let's recap the week: Tuesday, woke up at 9 a.m. (WHACK DAY...miserable!), Wednesday, woke up a half an hour earlier at 8:30 a.m. (better day), Thursday, woke up at 7:15 a.m. (great day!), and today, FRIDAY,...the day that I usually struggle with physically and emotionally, each week, for some strange reason...I WEIGHED IN AT A WHOPPING WAKE-UP TIME OF...6:35 a.m.!!!! So far this is panning out to be a wonderful day! I greeted my lovely family with a great Southern breakfast of fried Whiting, grits, and eggs, started the homeschooling day off on-time, took care of some business for my husband, and we're still rolling!!!!!!
Isn't it so awesome how God was faithful through providing me with scripture and a little Holy Spirit nudge each morning to get me up earlier and earlier! I don't use an alarm clock at all. So each morning, I was depending on God to shake me up. And he did! I am also especially thankful for the word He gave me in my spirit, which reminded me that my name is "Teri" (meaning "harvester") and that it IS HARVEST season! How can the harvester sleep in late during the harvest season? She's got a reward to collect and reap. She's got some work to do to receive the results of her planting. With this reminder, I was able to see why it was in Satan's best interest to keep me sluggard-like and slothful each morning. He is also aware that it is MY SEASON TO REAP, so he must pull out all the ammunition he has to put a stop to it (remember- he comes to steal, kill, & destroy). My silly self had been going right along with his plan, until God WOKE ME UP. Praise the Lord! Now I wake up each morning, on-time, just to make sure Satan is clear that I will not miss my season...MY OPPORTUNE TIME!
Be Blessed!
