Then I can feel oh so accomplished at the end of the day.<br /><br />I think God wants your first fruits, not necessarily your first hour. I would think sitting down for time with Him when you are most awake and able to really focus on Him would be way more important to Him than yawning and half-sleeping through your time together!Alan & Beth McManushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18302406278511895369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537301261148220329.post-62664659343466731062010-10-05T07:10:02.464-05:002010-10-05T07:10:02.464-05:00Nicolette - I am so like that too, right down to t...Nicolette - I am so like that too, right down to the writing things down just to cross them off!<br /><br />That will likely work for getting my house clean... maybe I could write on there <br />1. Sit down for a cup of coffee with God at 10 am.<br /><br />Might work, you know. With our new schedule with a highschooler, mornings come earlier and evenings tend to go later. I'm wondering if God wouldn't mind not being first thing in the morning and would prefer to have coffee with me at a decent time in the morning once the kids are out to school and the first load of laundry is running in the machine. I'd be more awake, and it is quiet in the house then.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024559143015889876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537301261148220329.post-50407952093937064602010-10-05T05:39:30.921-05:002010-10-05T05:39:30.921-05:00Haha, if I want to get something done, I absolutel...Haha, if I want to get something done, I absolutely have to write it down on a to-do list. <br /><br />Case in point: I have been MEANING to pull up a chair and grab a cup o' joe and comment on your last blog post... but even leaving the browser window open for days wasn't enough. Didn't write it down, didn't do it! <br /><br />I am also the kind of person to write things down after the fact, just so that I can cross them off the list. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537301261148220329.post-3319495187633562742010-10-04T14:15:29.451-05:002010-10-04T14:15:29.451-05:00Thanks for the comment over on my blog.
In answer ...Thanks for the comment over on my blog.<br />In answer to your question, I have no prescription. Maybe set a goal of one thing to be done per day until it is all done? Lots of grace with yourself as well :0)<br /><br />CarinThe Guthrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09180821592938834252noreply@blogger.com
