I was awake at 4 am, up at 5.
Coffee on, my lovely hazelnut creamer, and watched the sun come up. At the moment it's shining through the blinds, casting shadows on the wall behind me.
I love the morning time. I usually grab my favorite fuzzy throw, my Bible, a hot cup of coffee, and head out to enjoy the first of the day. Reading in Psalms always blesses me. And Ephesians or Galations, reminding myself of who I really am.
Someone has called me "very spiritual". I am. I am. :) We spend so much in just getting by in the natural, we forget the absolute necessity of feeding our spirit. If I don't take the time to do that, I find myself becoming impatient, short sighted, and quickly old. When I nurture my spirit, in prayer and meditation, in listening to heart stirring music, in being out in nature and walking and talking with God, I understand that within I am ageless and my journey exciting and fulfilling.
If I don't allow the time to hear God speak to my heart, I'm a mess. And so I make it a priority to shush my heart, preparing a place for God and I to meet together, and I am always blessed.
If I can't give God just this portion of my day, something is wrong with my day. :) And it can get all crappy pretty fast.
Now, I'm ready for Sue to be up and we begin to think of our photo taking journey for this day.
Having my sister, Sue, living with me, is such a blessing. It took some adjustment, mostly on her part I think, but now we can see God's hand in it. I bet he smiled as he watched it happen, knowing she was just what I needed, and me for her.
I love all of my sisters. We've talked about that......how blessed we are to have each other.
I've just chatted away here, typing my thoughts out to who will read. This is my world....Rainee's World. It changes every day and yet stays the same. I sort of like it. :)

Nita..keep chatting as I am loving reading it. I absolutely felt so good reading your post...such a reminder to walk and talk with the awareness of God ...and that was cool learning that Sue lives with you. When I get together with my sister, it is all about (besides grandkids) where we can go take photos... thanks for sharing you and sisters' lives....
I'm like Sandy. It feels so good reading your posts. I'm just headed to work and now I'm going with more peace in what I expected to be a stressful day.
