I start my day with a prayer of thanksgiving, I start my day with a prayer full of praise! Let me tell you i have learned the joy of living and it's based upon the way I start my day...... wow what words in the Kirk Talley song that i've come to appreciate even more this morning.

    I had a choice as do we all to go back to sleep for that extra five or ten min's, after getting my son on the bus. I have with the help of God engrained in my spirit the need for my morning nourishment, that can only come from above. My daily devotionals....If i miss them in a days time, it's like missing a church service or even missing a meal. (oh my). Anything but that, right. Well i need my Manna from above.

    Long story short ,I had read that I sometimes have to battle through my mind to make me do the things that I know I ought to do. And I believe that the mind is a battlefield and sometimes even the devils playground. But I know now how much more energized and refreshed and alive  I am compared to the alternative which still would not have given me the sleep that I would have required to satisfy my true need. It also pays to outweigh the good and the bad, the pros and the cons. And in the end if we don't relize that we serve a Risen Saviour then somethings def, amiss. Therein lies an opportunity for a reality check.~S

`ps:Sorry for the type-o's honey, i'll work on not being in such a hurry.
