Don't hit the "Snooze" Button.



I am currently serving at a Christian Youth/Children's camp. I am having so much fun experiencing all that God has for me!!! I am growing daily and am able to share with them what God has been revealing to me. And in turn they are able to share it with me!

Proverbs 27:17 "Iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend."

Praise God for the Media Team!! They are so awesome and they daily uplift and praise God which is such an encouragement!




So this morning I woke up at 7:00am. Which means I was up an hour earlier than usual. But last night I had a nice chat with my fellow media peers, and we were talking about Compromise. And that when you hit the "Snooze" button on your alarm in the morning, that you start your day off in Compromise. Because you set it with the intention of waking up at a certain time and by hitting the "snooze" button your saying "well...it's ok I'll just wake up in 5 minutes and get ready then." When in all reality you know that you're supposed to be up at that time. So in thinking about this I prayed that the Lord would help me to wake up in the morning on time NO SNOOZE BUTTON involved. And once I prayed that I felt an unction to set my alarm for 7am instead of 8am. At first I brushed it off as just a passing thought. But then it kept coming to mind and so I leaned over and re-set it. And I woke up BEFORE MY ALARM!!! And I had the most amazing hour! I got to pray and meditate on God's beautiful uplifting word!!! That's an hour's worth of "Jesus-Time" I wouldn't have had otherwise!!!

So basically what I'm saying is what's ONE hour compared to the other 6 or 7 that you'll be sleeping? Spend it with Jesus and you certainly won't regret it. :)
