How do you start each day? I know a lot of people who wake up and run for the coffee pot. Then maybe they sit down and spend some time talking to God and reading His word. This is a daily routine for many who would feel out of whack if if they missed their coffee or their time with God.
It is no secret that I am not a morning person. I don’t drink coffee, but my body does like caffeine in the morning so I reach for the Mountain Dew. I have a goal to get up each morning early enough to work out and spend time with God before I leave for work, but I have been very unsuccessful at that. So unsuccessful that I shouldn’t even call it a goal, just something that I wish I could do.
I get with just enough time to get ready and go out the door to work. I typically listen to Christian music in the car and have tried praying and driving, but I get too distracted. So I spend a little time in prayer and reading scripture first thing when I get to work. Sometimes it can be difficult with other people around, but I get in early enough that its not usually a problem. I follow up my reading and prayer with some worship music on my mp3 player. I pick 1 or 2 songs and really just block out the rest of the world for a few minutes. Lately I have been stuck on Carlos Whittaker’s ‘We Will Worship You’. This really gets me focused for my day at work.
How do you start your day?
