So this morning I was determined to get up early. My plan was to get ready for exercise right away then do my Bible study while I waited for my kids to get ready. It usually takes us up to 1 hour. Someone is always stalling and yes sometimes it’s me. Anyway Jewel and I startled each other when I was heading to Ty’s room to wake him up. She went to my room. I thought she was headed to my bathroom to brush her teeth. Anyway when I got to my room there she was laying all comfy and cozy in my bed. Well with me not getting enough sleep I went and joined her “just for a minute”. That turned into 30 minutes as we were talking. That brought some thoughts up for me and now here I am blogging. And the kids still aren’t ready. 😐
I’ve tried, honestly. For years I’ve tried to sleep early and get up early. But the truth is my mind just doesn’t function well in the morning! But ask me to do anything at night and I will!
But here’s the thought: Jesus getting up early in the morning and going away by himself so that he could pray. Why do people use that to mean that you’re supposed to get up early? To me the point is that Jesus made time to be alone. He made time to pray. He made time to be with his father. And that’s what we should do. But not at someone else’s convenience. Or someone else’s time frame. And it made me think of another thing. Why is it that the night owls always have to adjust to the early bird’s schedule? But the early bird is never obligated to adjust to the night owl’s schedule? And for some reason, the night owl is looked down upon. Why? When they’re the ones who can hang! They say I need to train myself. That’s not true. I’ve worked at jobs that required me to wake up at 3 am. I did those jobs for a year or more but guess what? On my days off I would revert back to my night owlness, if that’s a word. And always have. I’m 55 years old and still haven’t trained myself to sleep early so that I can get up early.
And to me, that’s ok! I don’t know why there’s such a stigma on being a night owl. It’s like we have some kind of disease 🙁
Sorry nothing special or helpful here. Just jotting down my thoughts.
