early mornings

November 18, 2014 · In: life, uncategorized

It goes against reason, since I’ve never been a morning person and I have a two-month old (!), but lately I’ve been enjoying my early mornings.

Luckily our little guy started sleeping through the night at six weeks. It was like a switch turned. All of a sudden, he conked out for 7-9 hours a night. Total bliss after sleep deprivation.

Even so, there are times we’re up late with him, there’s an occasional night he’ll escape his swaddle and be up at 3am, and he always has to eat around 6, or 7 at the latest.

But lately instead of falling back asleep, I’ve been taking advantage of the couple hours while he snoozes before he has to eat again. It’s lovely to see the sun rise, to do some exercise, to get a cup of coffee and a bowl of oatmeal, and to read some scriptures for the day. It’s my peaceful time.

What’s your peaceful time of day? What do you do in your alone time?

This trend, but about what happens when you ditch This trend, but about what happens when you ditch performance and perfectionism for grace-filled growth.

This is not a to-do list, by the way. Not a resume or test or a title. (Not, “you are now proclaimed holy”.)

These are, I’ve found, holy experiences that get revealed as you take steps along this faith journey. This is what it looks like when you’re settling in to the transformation that happens when you lean in to the Spirit, follow Jesus, and get to know God better. A settling of the soul. 

What kinda holy experiences have you encountered on your own unique journey with God?

Not to be dramatic, but… Everything changed when Not to be dramatic, but…
Everything changed when I started:

viewing stories of women in the scriptures with care and respect instead of making assumptions.

reading the Bible as God’s story, not morality tales about people. 

recognizing that God cares about our wholeness and wellbeing, not perfect performance or self-improvement.

seeking depth and God’s withness over easy answers. 

Does this feel like I’m reading your mail? (I’m not.) Stick around. Here we talk about rebuilding your faith and theology and Bible study without shame and shrinking ❤️

A turnaround story. This little detail now stands A turnaround story.

This little detail now stands out to me in a way I can’t ignore. God is in the business of drawing us near.

For Moses, the journey included miracles, facing down his own demons, and growing in trust and confidence.

What does the journey look like for you? In what ways has your trust and confidence in God grown?
