I have started a morning routine this week..getting up at 4:45..yes, I am nuts. But you know what, it has been sweet. Not only do I get in an hour+ workout, but I have been able to spend time with my Lord. Sweet time. Learning time. Repenting time. I was reading James this morning and man, that guys words are so convicting. James 1:23-25....how many times have I walked away from the word, and forgotten what it is I was convicted about changing in my life?? hmmm. Next, I was reading about how faith without works is dead. Cassie happen to wake up at that point and we read together and talked about tangible ways she can SHOW her friends her faith by her WORKS...it was sweet. I was also reading chapter 4 of Crazy Love by Francis Chan. I AM what he was describing...lukewarm. wow. And so prideful, i don't even realize it. One of the paragraphs read, "Lukewarm people feel satisfied that while they aren't as hard-core for Jesus as so-and-so, they are nowhere as horrible as that guy down the street." Something, if I am honest, I have thought...wow. God, break my pride. That was my prayer this morning.
Samantha and the boys were able to go out and play last week in the "warm" weather. And by warm I mean low 40's. They found a dead tree....and planted it. And watered it.
It reminded me of the parable of the seed..... God, may my soil be fertile for you.

YAY you're joining the early club! Now both Connie's can be crazy getting up at 4 (which I have to confess I haven't been working out the last 2 months, so I've been getting up at 5...but in a few weeks I'll safely start back up!)
....thank you for sharing - I hate that when I'm away at work it's all I can do to get up and be at the venue on time. Not touching my Bible at all...I was so glad to get back in to my routine this morning!!
Love you!
