I just joined the a bunch of ladies over at <a href="http://likeawarmcupofcoffee.blogspot.com/2008/11/motivate-me-mondays-new-meme-link-up.html">Sarah Mae's</a> Blog to take part in the 5:16am club. Sounds exciting, right, well I figured that I'm up around 5am every morning feeding Caleb so I really should just STAY up and enjoy a quite time like I've been wanting to for months.<br /><br /><br />For a long time I've known that I should start my days with a short devotional time. I always found some excuse, usually my pillow and blankets won this battle. I've noticed a significant difference in my attitude and how productive my days are. This morning I woke up made some oatmeal (no coffee, sometimes it's just too much work for only me! - I've got to get one of those Tassimo coffee makers!) sat down and found a good online devotional site (this just works for me!) Grabbed my bible and spent some HIM time! It really encouraged me and the devotional for the day was very relevant!<br /><br />Psalm 23:5(b) "...You anoint my head with oil my cup overflows". I really feel like lately He has filled my cup to overflowing!<br /><br />When I was a teen I loved the band Considering Lily, not sure what they're up to these days but I wanted to share some of the lyrics of one of their songs that I always liked. This song always reminded me where to turn when I needed to be "filled"<br /><br /><strong><u>Cup by Considering Lily</u></strong><br /><br />My soul's as dry as a valley of bones<br />As I walk this desert called Earth<br />There's dust in the tracks of the tears I cry<br />I'm as helpless as a babe at birth.<br />I stumble to the last mirage I saw.<br />And I fall to the sand.<br />Close my eyes breathe a desperate prayer<br />When I open them there you stand<br /><br />CHORUS:<br />Here's my cup.<br />Fill it up Fill it up. Fill it up and up.<br />I will taste. I will drink. I will savor life.<br />Oh let it overflow my cup my cup.
