Simple Life Habits

At the beginning of this year I started a new habit: waking up early and doing a morning walk. For most of my life I have been a night person. I naturally come alive at 10pm. It can even be difficult for me to fall asleep at night because my mind does not shut off. I know what “silence is deafening” means. I use to find myself battling my mind and the silence in the house in order to fall asleep at night. Once I started an early morning ritual all that began to change.

Why did I do it again?! Breaking habits can seem like an uphill battle for sure. Just when you feel like you are getting to the top of the hill, you stumble and roll half way down. Why does life seem so hard at times? Why is there such a big gap between where I am and where I want to be? Does God really have a plan for my life or am I just supposed to struggle along through life until I get to the other side?

Have you ever had these discussions with yourself? I sure have. I have stumbled so many times 70×7 seems like a small number.
