Right Where I Am

You know how sometimes God meets you right where you are?  That happened to me this morning.

Recently I've been feeling a little caught in a rut.  We've been traveling so much that when I get home I just want to veg and not do much so I end up spending my days sitting on the floor with Charlotte, not getting fully dressed until the afternoon (if I ever put on makeup), and mostly doing the same thing day after day.  So this weekend I determined that I was going to start getting up before Charlotte in the morning to read my Bible, think, pray, get things ready for the day, get dressed, etc.  If you know me you know that I'm not a morning person and I loooove my sleep so this was a big decision for me.  The past two mornings I have gotten up and done those things and I have felt remarkably better about what I'm accomplishing in the day by doing that.  But I have wondered whether I'll have the resolve to see this through.

Then this morning I was going through my reader and I read this post by Big Mama.  She talked about an ebook that her friend wrote that was "all about helping busy moms create an effective morning routine."  So I downloaded it (it's free) and while I was reading through it I almost cried.  It is EXACTLY what I need to help me stay focused and committed to this whole getting up early thing. 

I know that it shouldn't, but its times like this, when I'm still completely floored that the God of this universe cares enough about me to put this in my path at the exact moment that I need it.  If I had seen the link last week I probably would have skimmed over it and never gone to check out the book.  If I saw it in a few weeks I might think that I already have a routine down and I don't need it or I would have already given up and so skipped over it as if I didn't really see it.  But instead, Big Mama posted the link and I read it this morning.  Right when I needed it.  Amazing. 

So I wanted to share this story to remind you that God does care about every bit of your life and He'll help you figure things out in the most surreal way.  And I also wanted to share the link to the eBook in case you want to download the "Maximize Your Mornings" eBook.  Again, it's free and it's not just for Mom's.  It's for anyone who wants to set up a morning routine to get you back on track with God, excersize and planning your day.
