I set my alarm for 6:30. But I’m woken up around 5:30.

It’s too early. I’ve got 1hr left to sleep. I can do my quiet time later today, there’s nothing else planned… but He gently nudges me awake, and it’s become a time I don’t want to miss.

And when I get out there this morning, there’s a beautiful sunrise with the sun peaking through (something that hasn’t happened the past several days).

It’s His good morning to me. His delight in seeing me spend time with Him. His joy knowing that His beloved children are pursuing Him.

I don’t want to miss what He wants to reveal to me in the stillness. People won’t be walking around and making noises because, well they’re still asleep. It’s my time alone with Him. Just He and I, and the beautiful things He’s created. I love it, and it’s now something I look forward to each morning 🙂

Plus, He paints amazing pictures in the skies!
