When I rise, give me Jesus

As 6 weeks of non stop energy flowing chaos comes to a close

actually pulling myself out of bed when my alarm goes off {way} too early

becomes harder and harder.

 

But those days I fix up my huge afro, cure my bad breath, remove my

incredibly comfy pj's {not always} and my feet hit the floor; the Lord

works wonders.

 

Establishing time with him is something I struggle and fight

over and over.

Y'all I'm so mean when I don't sleep. surely Jesus understands.

but he is so much greater than that.

He wakes me up, feeds me, and provides joy and energy

that I never would've found, even with a few extra minutes of sleep.

 

And maybe you're realizing this post has no intent meaning

its just for me, because sometimes I just like to ramble.

and remind myself of that kick in the butt when I realize

how absolutely blind as a bat I am.

 

Jesus is no trickster, he knows what he's doing.

there is no mistake in happenings in our life.

 

even losing an hour of sleep when you only got 4 to begin with.

 

He's so graceful and executes incredible justice.

 

As the song we're singing this summer says,

We're called to let him write our story on our hearts.

 

So go ahead Jesus, write your story.

and help me to get my tush out of bed

and spend that time with you.

 

I never ever regret it, but getting there is oh so hard.

 

Like leaving my comfy warm sheets

Jesus calls us to step away from our own wants and desires

to leave comfort and follow him

with radical abandonment.

 

Leave those sheets, and go on a date with Jesus.

 

"Jesus at the center of it all.. from beginning to the end, its always been

it'll always be you, Jesus. Nothing else matters, nothing in this world will do"

 

"From my heart to the heavens, Jesus be the center. It's all about you"
