I can't believe I'm saying this, but I like being up at 6am this morning. I've always appreciated being the only one awake. This comes from a time when my house was brimming over with people and quiet was unheard of. Now quiet is fairly common, but I still like sitting in my room or outside late at night. Having quiet conversations with my God.
Today though, I'm up at 6 am, an "ungodly hour" as it is usually said. But I'm finding that it is like being up late at night- only the morning is full of hope and promise. It is an hour filled with God's presence, just like every other hour of the day. Sitting at the table with a cup of coffee, I just was with Him.
I was already planning on waking up earlier this summer. Preparation for whatever community I might be called to join (since almost all of them start prayer before 8 am) Now though I'm actually looking forward to more mornings like this. Thank you, Jesus!
Pax Christi!
