Quit Dreaming, Start Living!

The alarm on my phone goes off at 6:45 am. I grab the phone and automatically slide the iPhone key so it won't go off again. It's almost bright outside and I lay there, and think "Ughh, my back and feet are achy.. Ahh, this bed is so warm and cozy, and I'm still sleepy. I can't get up yet.... ZzzZzz.."
2 hours later I wake up- It's bright, the baby is up, and she has bonked me in the head or the back with her "bobble" about 10 too many times, knowing full well that if she does it again I will get up and get her juice.

This happens every morning. I "try" at least six days out of the week of seven to set my alarm and get up at an hour that will put me ahead in the day. Yes, I do have a 14 month old, Yes I am her full time Mommy, no I do not have a job.
And yes I would like one.
Today is Sunday and I would have really liked to have made it to church this morning. Last night I faithfully set the alarm on my phone to 6:45am.. And same as always, as soon as it goes off, I reach over and then turn it off. I had set two other alarm times too, one for 7am and the last at 7:05am. When 7 came around, I bumped it to 8.

Why can't I get up in the mornings I ask myself?

Today I am rending my heart.

I realize there are far too many things in my life that I tell myself subconsciously that I "can't" do.

Like: I "can't" get up early enough in the mornings... I "can't" ever find a job good enough to buy the things I need... I "cant" do hair good enough to make a career out of it... The list doesn't go on and on, but the things that are on it are the very things that I need to deal with the most.

And maybe it has been having a baby and being a stay at home Mommy (that I am very grateful for being able to do) or moving and having to reconnect and meet new people in a new place that have made me somehow start to believe that these important things "can't" be acheived due to delay.

But I remind myself of the Word that Jesus Christ Himself spoke, and said, "ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE IF YOU BELIEVE" and I am fully convinced that I CAN do the things that I need to do in order to be happy, healthy, wealthy and whole.
I just need to start telling myself, what Jesus already told me!

I am up for the challenge, because I do believe. And I have already decided to change all those "can'ts" in life, to "cans", because Jesus said I can!



Matthew 19:26
But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

John 6:63
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

Psalm 119:89
Forever, O Lord,
Your word is settled in heaven.
