Quiet time

Lately, I've been getting up when Alex wants his milk cup. I go into their room and give him the cup and then go downstairs, then I'll read my Bible and do my internet cruising and any chores that need done. This has really helped because then when they get up around 6-6:30 then I can play with them before we go to do what we are going to do that morning. I remember that my mom and I had a recent conversation about this and she said that even if she didn't get enough sleep she would get up at 5:30 with my dad and then go downstairs and read her Bible and pray and then do her chores, she said that this helped ground her for the day. I remember thinking there is no way I can do this I never get enough sleep, I've been doing it for two weeks now and even when I don't get enough sleep I'm able to get up and do it. There are some mornings when I hear "okay get up and read your Bible now" and I'm so glad that I do, it has become very enjoyable.
