Is that a Challenge? I think so....


5AM. I have always called this a "ungodly" hour. For years, that has been my true feelings on this hour of the morning (really...is that even morning yet?!).

Today, I ran across this video, and now I feel challenged...So watch this video, and then read the rest of the post.



After I watched this I just say there and felt that I really need to try this. My day usually consists of waking up a 6:15, and leaving the house by 6:50 to get to work. While I can make it happen, I never feel very put together at work. I"m always rushing through getting ready, may or may not have time for breakfast, and may or may not have time to read my devotion for the day. I have NO time to put on laundry, or unload the dishwasher, or through something in the crock pot for dinner. The by the time i get home in the evenings, I don't want to work out, I don't want to cook, I don't want to clean..I just want to sit on my bum and be lazy. I been feeling like the Lord has been dealing with my in the area of laziness. I can't believe I'm admitting it, bu tit's true..sometimes I do just feel SO dang lazy!
And I'm sick of it. So...Maybe this is what I need? Maybe I don't need something this extreme, but I'm willing to try anything! So, my plan is that for the rest of this week (and I'm talking week days) and then next M-F, I will be

1. Setting out my work clothes the day before
2. Going to bed by 9:30
3. Setting my alarm for 5am
4. Doing my 30 minutes of yogo
5. Eating breakfast, or at least preparing it to take to work
6. Reading in my devotional
7. Putting on laundry, or doing dishes
8. Since I'm not one for writing in a journal, will blog on here at least 3 mornings a week

That's my challenge to myself! At the end of this, if I feel like waking up at 5 is improving my whole day, I will probably continue this.

Wish me luck! I am SO not a morning person! gah!

  1. That was a really cook video, Joanna! My hubby gets up at 4:30 every day. It took him maybe a couple of weeks to get used to it but it's second nature to him now. I should do it too... :)
