The girls and I in my small group have recently started reading "Shopping for Time." It's basically about how to accomplish everything called has called you to do each day. One of the suggestions is to wake up at 5am every morning and start your day with God before the kids get up. 5am seems so much like the middle of the night to me but I had been thinking about doing it at 6am instead. That would mean Ian would no longer be my alarm clock and I would have to set one. Anyway I've been thinking about it and praying about it and a funny thing happened this morning. I did not set my alarm (because I have another sinus infection and don't feel that great) but I heard Ian making noise and I looked at my clock. It thought it said 6:50. So I jumped out of bed and took a quick shower. I come back out, Ian is back to sleep and my clock says 6:30. So I chuckle and sit down to read the word and pray. Funny thing how God works right? In addition to reading scripture I recently picked up a book from a favorite author of mine (Joni Eareckson Tada) called 31 Days Toward Passionate Faith and I wanted to share a couple of quotes that struck me: "Christ brings the heart to heaven first--and then He brings the person." "Growing spiritually involves a gradual transger of our inner investments from earth to heaven." Just something to think about.
"We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Cor 4:18.

I am so blessed by the last couple of posts, to see how you are growing spiritually. I know you have always had such a strong faith, but it is just so nice for you to share such intimate things about your walk of faith. God has been laying on my heart to pray more consistently for my family and so far I am.
Love,
