When I wake up I pray first, and thank god for waking me up in my bed, I sleep up on the top bunk, so often I don't even climb off the top bunk, but pray while still in bed, I am not too consistent, still I try. I hang a prayer on the wall or ceiling to remind me. I encourage my sister to follow my lead, she tends to remind me more than I remind her.
Same with praying before meals, it is hard to be humbled by your younger sister, I was the child who read my bible without prompting, I found my faith when I was twelve, I grew up with a very biblical mother, who taught me everything I knew. When I was twelve I accepted the faith myself. It was no longer my parent's faith It was mine. I researched what my mom had taught me, I read past the children's stories. I read the Song of Songs, I read about Ug, I read Pauls letters, I read about how the enemies of Israel, tried to curse Israel, and how God only allowed the prophet, to spill blessing of his people. I still questioned, but God used my doubt to strengthen my faith. In my weakness you are made strong.
Then of course I run to the bathroom, who doesn't?
Get your blood pumping
I stretch, rarely I do some yoga, downward dog, cat and cow, neck stretches, and some strength exercises. God puts bible verses on my heart, most often I see them written on 3×5 cards. My mom writes verses she thinks we need to hear on the cards and puts them on the picture frames, some displayed now are, Proverbs 15:10, Matthew 6:24, Colossians 3:23-24, Philippians 2:14, and Proverbs 19:20. There are more, but these are my favorites.
Time for some vanity
Then I check my hair. Most the time I have put VO5 in my hair and rolled it up in curlers, or socks, or a bun, or a braid, or something I saw on Pintrest. I will pick my hair through and put conditioner in it (I have some real friz problems).
We are crazy
In my house we don't fight over the bathroom, unless we all left to go somewhere as a family, in that case we all race to the bathroom when we get home. Us kids know, mom gets the bathroom first, but we all race anyway as a family tease. Dad blocks the hallway, my younger sister tries to crawl under him, and me and my older sister fake pushes him, but he never budges. Is this just my family?😜
Back to my routine
After fixing my hair, I will then go and see what my family is doing, most the time my mom is letting out the puppies. My dad is eating or getting ready to go to start Jobsites, my older sister is either leaving for school, or on the weekend she is still in bed. My younger sister is getting breakfast.
What inspired me to start a routine read about it here.
I love smoothies
I help my sister get breakfast which is much easier if we have a meal prepped, today, we had a ginger peach, apple smoothie, it was fantastic, and some turkey sausage. We used the peach jam we made ourselves, it was great!

I put the smoothies in Masson jars to store as meal prep
Good bye |
Then I eat, and let my dog Jake out. What I do next really depends on the day it really isn't part of my routine, it changes almost everyday. Enjoy you days, I am praying for you!
