Early Morning Wake-up Trouble
I was planning to go to first Sunday Service at 6.30 am today, because at 12 pm I will be celebrating my parent’s 23rd wedding anniversary, and I think it is better that I finish my duties in the morning first. I can’t go to to the second Sunday Service which starts at 8.30 am because it finishes at 10 am, and it will be too late for me to pick up the guest. Actually I can go to the third Sunday Service on 4.30 pm, but considering that I have to leave home on 4 pm and won’t be back until 9 or 10 pm because of the choir practice, I might not be able to get enough rest after the lunch before I go to church.
But it seems that I have trouble sleeping tonight, which is why I am writing this and fixing the blog. I guess I will have to settle waking up at 9 am today, and going to the third Sunday Service with little or no rest before I leave home for church at 4 pm (maybe I’ll only have time to take a bath). I hope I won’t sleep during the Sunday Service or the choir practice, heh. That would be really bad. The most I can do is conserve some energy during the choir practice so I can spare some energy and not get too exhausted. I haven’t fully recovered from my throat infection last week, after all, so singing loudly would be harmful to my vocal chord.
I miss the days when I could wake up in the morning about 5 am to spend time with God. Enjoying the fresh air, looking at the painting of sun and clouds (and sometimes slight rain) He made in the sky, having a conversation with Him and reading the Bible. But those are days past from last year, which I have not been able to do again since my 6th semester where I got very busy (now I’m in my 8th - actually will be 9th since next Monday). When I have graduated and I enter the working life, maybe the time for God will also dissipate, and I do not want that. I am trying to rework my schedules and my body timer so I can go to sleep about 10-11 pm and wake up at 5 am in the morning. Right now I go to sleep about 1-2 am and wake up at about 8 pm, which is not good.
The best time to be with God is in the morning, to share the new day He has created. I will try not to miss more of these opportune moments in my life. I’m 21 years old now and my life is ticking away, now that maybe I have used one third of it. I will try to wake up in the morning, and fulfill my two commitments I’ve made long ago to God and have not been able to fulfill until today…
- Wake up every morning and spend time with Him.
- Go to the first Sunday Service - on the day especially made for Him as it begins, before I do anything else. Resorting to third Sunday Service makes me lazy to go sometimes, especially after a long and tiring day.
