I'm trying this new thing. Morning prayer. Everyday (except Sunday), 7 am prayer. A group of us go to CAS and have a daily devotion and group prayer. I thought the idea at first was ludicrous seeing as I have 12 pm class and wished so much not to have 8am core classes.
I went through my first week last week. It actually... was really nice. To wake up and go and talk with God and just to be up and running so early. It feels good for the soul although I am physically tired. Although, it's nice to have people to share that with and who keep you accountable.
Half the mornings, I woke up groggy and just guilted my way to going to prayer. "If you think you're tired, think how tired Jesus was when he carried the cross. Did he have a choice?" Ouch...
I can only hope to keep this new lifestyle going. making myself go to sleep before 1:30 (today is an exception) and getting 5-6 hrs of sleep a day. It started the worst week for me since I had a major presentation last Friday and four midterms this week. But a guy in the group said that time with God can't always be convenient for us. We need to make an effort to want to grow spiritually and why not start off your day with a big heap of Jesus with some OJ on the side. I'd like one order of that please!
