An Award and "5 whatever gal"


Joanne over at Blessed gave me this "sweet" blog award. The rules of this award are to choose 5-10 blogs that show kindness and sweetness in their entries. For times sake I am choosing 5 so without further delay...

Angie at The Knightly News
Mari at My Little Corner of the World
Tonja at Gatherings
Diane at My Journey's Path
Melissa at Melissa's World


Lisa at Extravagant Grace is starting a group called "5 whatever gal". I love it! It is a commitment to get up while it is still dark to have time alone with God. It doesn't have to be at 5am or at 5:30am just 5 whatever time. I had already committed to myself, this past January, to getting up at 5:45am every morning so that I would be up before the rest of the family. I didn't think I was going to be able to stick to it because I am not a happy morning person. But you know what I found out? I am a much happier morning person when I can wake up WITHOUT family pressuring me to start helping them get ready. LOL! So it has become a double blessing for me. I get a set time with God every day and I am able to get myself moving before the family does it for me. Wink!

I guess I am a member of the "5 Whatever" club...without even knowing it! Like you, I love getting up before the rest of the family, usually around 5:30 for me. Makes my day go so much better when I can spend some time in prayer and the Word FIRST THING...

Hey There! I'm just tracking down links and found out that you're a 5 whatever gal, too! How cool! So glad to share this journey with you!

Blessings, extravagantly,
