Slightly sleepy, but much more fulfilled

Life has many changes, people change , circumstances change- and though I see most change as a good thing...some changes take a little more time to get used to than others. My quiet time is good example of this.
For years and years since I have become a Christian, I have done my quiet times with the Lord at night, and for years and years that has worked wonderfully. It was a way to walk through my day with the Lord, and though traditionalist like to suggest "morning time" as the best time meet with the Lord, I staunchly stood in opposition. I was not, and still am not a morning person. And I'm begining to think that aspect of my life will never change (even though I would love to be a morning person, it just seems so much more efficient,the morning is just beautiful).
Still with that being said, I'm watching my well worn habits change during this time of prepartion in my life. Now as I get ready for bed at night, I still love praying and walking through my day with Jesus, but it seems that my brain just kind of shuts down when it comes to advanced though. So when I read its like I'm reading to finish so I can go to bed instead of reading to be changed and let Christ's word wash over me and sink deep into my soul. I read, turn out the light, and fall asleep...and thats just not ok with me. Because I love Jesus, and because I want to know Him more and be like Him more- if my body decides its going to change, then I will change my habits in order to persue my relationship with the Lord!
So while I still cant make my brain turn on and comprehend advanced thought first thing in the morning, I can still spend time with Jesus, after the fog has cleared from my head! :)
I dont think it matters though when you spend time with Jesus, as long as you spend daily time with Him. We cant let legalism rule our hearts, only our love for Jesus should do that.
Here are a few pictures of people doing their quiet times in some cool places.

-of course :)

haha I love this one!

...for the real early birds




this is probably the truest one of me...minus the fact that its a picture of a guy...








This is quote from Rob Bell I saw, and though he isnt my favorite person, this quote is very true: "God is always present. We're the ones who show up."
