Now, my hubby, on the other hand...oh he is a bear to wake up in the morning!!! :) He can stay up later than I can though! <br /><br />I just want to encourage you to meet with God when you can..it doesn't matter what time of day. Being a wife and mama is so busy...God knows your heart. If meeting with him *before* bed is better and you find you can give Him more attention at that time...then do that. There is no rule about having to get up early. But go with what God leads you to do....but please don't push yourself to do something that is directed by feeling pressure to be the perfect mom and woman! God is LOVE. :) He knows your efforts. He knows your struggles..and He loves you! :)Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118653637763160580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8963099306607222914.post-58302288399492127182010-03-02T20:24:24.992-08:002010-03-02T20:24:24.992-08:00I have also struggled with this.

I am able to get up at 6 or 6:30am but anything earlier than that is so very hard.<br /><br />I pray that the Lord continues to guide you in this and maybe to pray for a later time :)<br /><br />I have thouroughly enjoyed your posts.

By early summer I'm hoping to do get up by 5 or 5:30. The northwest winters (or southwest BC) are so dark and rainy that it makes mornings very difficult. Good for you to rise early! Sarah Mae over at Like A Warm Cup of Coffee has a link to the 5:16 club here: http://www.likeawarmcupofcoffee.com/home/?page_id=837. Makes it easier when you know you're not the only one out of bed early! I really value my time alone with the Lord in the mornings. It's so beneficial to all aspects of life!

Since my MIL moved in, things have changed in the mornings, and my time alone has taken a nose dive. I feel so discouraged about it. I need it. I want it. But I don't know how to get there. I need a consistent, dependable routine, and things are different with another person getting up in the house, visiting my "alone room" while I am praying and reading. It is imperative that my children are not awake any earlier than what they already are, and my MIL doesn't know how to converse softly, if you know what I mean. I guess the devil is using this to really fight me, as he knows how much I need it. But I'm not going to stop trying! Pray fer me :).MameyJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950102099270997522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8963099306607222914.post-76676703796686068382010-02-26T06:46:33.554-08:002010-02-26T06:46:33.554-08:00I could write a book detailing all the times the L...I could write a book detailing all the times the Lord has nudged me.
