I’ve been planning since I got here to get up in the mornings and do a quiet time of reading my Bible and praying, but it’s just so easy to hit snooze on the alarm. You know how it is. Well, there was a lady named Elizabeth Thomas who gave a couple lectures on quiet time with God and prayer, and it really made me want to do this even more. That evening, I asked God to give me motivation in the morning to get out of bed and go do my quiet time. Then I realized that could come in the form of a bug in my bed or something like that, so I took it back. Yeah, I know. Whatever. In the morning, I got up and went outside to spend some time with God—just me and him. And it was amazing. So glad I did it! Halfway through my quiet time, I remembered what I’d asked for the night before. Motivation.
That morning when my alarm (my cell phone) went off, I grabbed for it, and it fell off the shelf onto my bed. Then I grabbed for it again and it fell to the floor. When I realized that this had been my motivation for getting up in the morning, I laughed. God can be so amusing! Anyway, just thought I’d share that because it really impacted me.

Haha! That is seriously so awesome Anna! Hhhahaha.I can just picture you rolling around trying to find it and then letting out a giggle. Haha. :D Man..... I need that too. I try to do devotions at night and it is sometimes good but sometimes I am way to tired, and then mornings... just aren't to great for me. Bah, so hard yet....... should be so easy.
