It's 7:30....

This morning I woke up and wasn't really sure where I was or what day it is. Then I remembered: today is a Joy performance! Here at school I am involved in a 4 girl ensemble. There are 4 singers (girls) and 4 instrumentalists (2 girls, 2 guys). Last semester we spent our time practicing and preparing songs for this semester where we go out and perform in churches. So, this morning we are heading over to Huntington Valley! This is our first 40 minute service, so it should be interesting. We are ready. (I hope haha).

So why am I writing at 7:30 in the morning? Well, remember how I said that when I woke up this morning I couldn't remember where I was? Well in those few seconds when I was not comprehending life, I felt like God said, "Goodmorning." It was as if in my mental fog, God broke through that reminded me that He is here with me. Before the rush of thoughts that consist my day came upon me, God came first and reminded me that He is there, before everything. Before breakfast, before Joy, before homework or friendships, God is. And in that early morning "Goodmorning," I was comforted and convicted. I was comforted because I knew that God was there, and I knew that He would be sovereignly controlling my day. Yet, I was convicted because I quickly realized how my heart was not in tune with God's. Here I am getting ready to go lead people in worship, and I can't even worship God myself.. If God is truly there with me, guiding me, and ultimately ruling me, then I should be ready as soon as my eyes open in the morning to worship, praise, and serve Him.

And to think, that all happened at 7:30 in the morning.
