I used to have an awesome morning routine. I would get up early, go to the gym, and have a decent amount of time to spend in Bible study before work.
Then..
I had to move unexpectedly, winter happened, and I was planning a wedding. Needless to say, when your car doors are frozen shut and it’s -10 at 5am, heading to the gym is not really an option. Beyond that, quite frankly, I got lazy and gave up completely.
Six months later, I have yet to be able to get back into a routine. It is really hard to go back to 5am wake-up calls when 6:30am has been the norm for a while. I set my alarm, but normally just hit the snooze button until the last possible minute, get up, shower, and (barely) make it work by 8. Every morning is rushed and stressful. As I begin to work towards clearing my schedule, I decided the first thing I have to make time for is prayer and Bible study. I want to prayerfully consider what I am doing, why I am doing it, and how to move forward. Plus, my personal life, marriage, and professional life need to peace and solitude I used to find in those early mornings.
Thus for “Quit It” Day #1 I am quitting the snooze button. I will make sure I get adequate sleep (don’t worry mom), but I am going to work towards re-building my morning routine. It is my favorite time of day.
