My kids are NOT late sleepers, D up at 7 on the dot and FC somewhere between 6 & 7 BUT I talked to a mom with 3 children barely 3 and under and she wakes up at 5am every morning just to have that first hour alone- working out, with the Lord, drinking coffee... just awake. It really got me thinking... Do I attempt a 5am schedule? I just feel like I am NEVER without someone awake in my house- kids bright and early and husband til the wee hours of the morn. What to do?! :) Love you girl.Kenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658597453777391189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468488378337028467.post-29300391989870659172009-10-13T22:37:18.430-05:002009-10-13T22:37:18.430-05:00You hit the nail on the head and I'm convicted...You hit the nail on the head and I'm convicted, again, as I've been slipping myself and can hear the Spirit calling me to greater discipline in this area. I think a second side to the equation is having the discipline to get in bed the night before. It's too easy to "veg" in front of a TV or computer for too late, and then our quiet time suffers in the morning. One of my favorite Scriptures is Isaiah 50:4-5. I always warn people to be serious about it before they pray this one, because God will wake you up early if you ask sincerely!<br /><br />"The sovereign Lord has given me the capacity to be His spokesman, so that I know how to respond kindly to the weary. He wakes me up every morning; He makes me alert so I can listen attentively as disciples do. The sovereign Lord has spoken to me clearly; I have not rebelled, I have not turned back."

I am SO NOT a morning person. If kindergarten in Louisiana could just start after lunch, I'd be in Heaven --- well, at least I'd feel better. ;)Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571947128036699544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468488378337028467.post-48833148065841638572009-10-13T19:17:31.387-05:002009-10-13T19:17:31.387-05:00Mine is a late sleeper too.... and we have always ...Mine is a late sleeper too.... and we have always loved it too!

I've had the same thoughts as you...take advantage of that time! But I also have a hard time motivating my body to actually move.
