Clear Head. No Wires

Yeah. I'm back in a groove now. 6:30 my alarm rings. I hit the snooze...I zonk out.
6:40... it rings. I repeat my morning handshake with my cell phone alarm. Ah.... Work.

7am I get up and do some push ups...well sometimes... I go to the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror. The sun is bleeding into my room with a bluish hue that reminds me of the last time I was working late into the night and the early morning sun caught me by surprise. I look into the mirror again. And yawn. I proceed to put my contacts on to get a better look at myself and realize that today I need to shave....eh. I hate shaving... But I can't really pull off a beard so what are you gonna do?

Shower time...this is my quiet time. I get in and kneel. Pray. Meditate. Maybe sing a song....and then I shave my stubble. Hair. Face. then body. Turn off the water then dry off. The cool air feels good on my body as I walk into my room and get dressed. I kneel again by my bed. I read His word and read some pages of my devotional. I pray again and meditate.

Bam. 8am. I go into my living room. Turn off the air. Sit on my couch and put on my shoes. Grab my black bag and go into the bathroom for one last mirror check. "Man I missed a spot!" The drive is quiet but long enough to still let my thoughts drift. Once I get to the office I am so refreshed and ready to go sell. It's ridiculous how peaceful I feel, though you should ask me how I like my job in about 3 months. We'll see. So far, my morning routine is helping out by leaps and bounds. I highly recommend it. And all that with no coffee. Can you believe it? Neither can I. I know. Ask me in 3 months. Not that I'm pessimistic. But perhaps....just perhaps I'll be in an even better mood. I don't deserve this...But I shouldn't take this for granted either. "Try to enjoy this" I tell myself. "because you have been given this and it should be remembered and cherished." I know that I will hit an uphill soon. But that doesn't matter. I've got this to hold on to and many times I have hit these uphills and God has pushed me right on through. I think about my family a lot in the mornings....what their day is going to be like... I know that God will protect them and allow them blessings. Just like me.

Remember all of you. For God to lead us. We must be willing to reach out to his hand... everyday.
