16.early morning time with God

lately, nathan and i have been trying to get up an hour early to spend time with the Lord. i'm not going to lie- its hard. its required us to make some changes- like going to bed early and dealing with being a little tired during the day. but its mornings like this morning that make me so thankful that, with the Lords help, we get up when that very annoying alarm goes off very early. i am thankful for the presence of the holy spirit in me throughout the day, and it is amazing how, when i start my day in scripture, my mind stays there throughout the day. i am thankful that i have a God who hears me, who forgives me, who speaks, who is alive, and who wants to include me and use me in His plan.
