The One with the Still Mornings

so pleased to be joining up with Gypsy Mama’s Five Minute Friday challenge. The starting concept is-

Awake
These past two weeks have been beautiful. Awaking early in the morning, before the sun rises, all because I have an 8am “devos” date with my husband. 
I have always been a morning person. I enjoy the thrill of early morning runs, watching the sun peek over the horizon, knowing so much of the town still sleeps. Those few days over the Christmas holiday were especially peaceful. Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse – surprisingly accurate depiction of small town America on the mornings of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Not one car passed me. No one was out to get the newspaper. No garage doors creaking open to reveal cars packed and ready for the work day. Here or there a light shone in a window, a chimney released its warm smoke, but mostly all was still
I feel peace in the mornings, as hard as it is to pull back the warm covers and peel open my sleepy eyes. It is quiet. A new day, ready to be written. Will I follow obediently in the path God has laid out for me, holding his hand and following his lead? Or will I try to maintain control and guide my steps on my own?

  1. the concept of a "new day, waiting to be written" has always inspired me when i wake up in the morning! I am also a morning person, and love to hear the first birds sing and to feel the first rays of the sun. It reminds me of how thankful I am to be alive, and to know God and to have a chance to be closer to Him. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your quiet mornings… :)
