i’ve fallen and i can’t get up
I hate waking up early but I love being up early. The best time of the day is before the sun comes up, before the phone starts ringing and the emails start to fly.
The best part of the day is early but you can’t enjoy it unless you get out of bed. This is my problem – there are days where I miss the joy of the morning because I’m too comfortable in bed.
I like to compare this with my walk with god. I want to spend quality time with him but that means rolling out of bed, turning the tv off or stopping what I’m doing (usually snoring for me). It is when I actually get off my butt do I enjoy this incredible time.
I want to experience the “full life” that he offers but I can’t experience it if I’m too focused on my own comfort.
It’s only when we get out of the comfort then we can experience the gretest of the day

Hey Brad,
I’m lying here @ 6am trying to decide if I should get up or not. Just finished reading your post on my phone and guess who’s no longer lying in bed now? Thanks for sharing and for motivating this lazy butt to give God the first fruits of this day.

confront the brutal facts and make a tough decision – if I want my emotional, mental, physical and spiritual tanks filled I need to get up (get my emotions in line with my logic) – something that I have been working through is that “I get to” spend quality time with Jesus every morning – not I have to BUT I get to – this has helped me and I also have a compassionate wife who kicks me out after I hit the snooze 3 times
