Good Morning

Oh Lord I thought the day would never come.
When I could lay my burdens down and walk with you.
This morning as I greet the rising sun, the fondest of my dreams have all come true.
The greatest friend you'll ever find is on the lonely mountaintop
The highest high you'll ever reach is when you kneel to pray to God
The brightest light you'll ever see is when you close your eyes real tight
Oh Lord you are my first love at last I realize
Oh Lord I need a mountain to climb on
Just a quiet place to go and know your there
Oh Lord I need to spend some time with you
Jesus spent the night with you in prayer


Father God
Just for today
Help me walk the narrow way
Help me stand where I might fall
Give me the strength to hear your call
May my steps be worship
May my thoughts be praise
May my words bring honor to your name.


This morning I woke up 30 minutes earlier than planned so that I could spend 30 minutes with God. I read some passages out of my bible and wrote in my prayer journal. I started off my day thinking about God and asking him to give me strength and to help me maintain a good attitude at work. I also asked that he help me shine his light and share his love with the people I encounter. I woke up with these two songs in my head and I found it appropriate. I think that the second song needs to be a prayer I say everyday. I can already tell that by starting my day with God, my day is increasingly better. I plan on ending my day with God, just the way I did last night. I have challenged myself to start and end my day with God. Included in that challenge is to read my bible the whole way through since I have never done that before. I really want to fall in love with my God all over again and I want to lose myself in Him. I am working on changing my lifestyle all the way around. I want a better relationship with God and I am trying to get healthy. I am beginning to work out with a trainer and am going to work towards my goal weight as well as possibly running a marathon. I can't wait to see where God takes me! Its time to start Defying Gravity!
