Guys, I've always loved sleeping a lot, and with the anemia issue I HAD (past tense🙌🏻) all my life my energy has always been tricky.
The Holy Spirit gave me conviction a long time ago about waking up early, before the sun comes out. And I did it a few times with so much effort and it was SO worth it. It completely changes the course of my day, specifically because it was to spend time in prayer before actually going with my day.
But every time I did it, the next day I couldnt go on with it. And I prayed for so long!! Saying "Lord please wake me up" "Lord help me fight sleep" "Lord I want to be with you even before my husband wakes up so I can have this holy morning of serving him in bed" , etc... I never liked the idea of being an early bird, but since the Holy Spirit gave me the vision of a quiet, unbothered, dark and beautiful time in the morning with HIM, I've been craving it so bad. But it hasnt been easy because some of the things that I always been told is that I need more sleep than anyone else (not feeding this lie to myself no more 🥱).
So, I started declaring two months ago EVERY DAY, because this is really important for me. To be able to wake up early and earnestly seek the Lord (psalm 31:1)
This was my declaration:
I declare that I wake up early everyday to seek The Lord earnestly. My soul is thirsty and my body longs for it. (🤯🤯🤯)
What happened? Something so strategic and a little funny to me from God.
Out of nowhere, out of our time, out of our plans... a family member gifted us a puppy.
Now, I dont wake up because I want to, I wake up because I have to 😂 He wakes up everyday at 6am. I usually was out of bed at 8.
At first I was a little mad ngl.
But I've been finding this beautiful morning routine and it has just been so fulfilling in my spirit 😭
I want to wake up earlier 🥳 but its a wonderful start. Mostly because I have been able to keep up for a month.. because puppy is here everyday (🤪).
Also, an extra kind thing the Lord did through this puppy welcoming month. I feel so empowered to have my human baby now 🙌🏻🌈✅️🙋🏻♀️ I didnt think I was going to be good in certain things, but this puppy is teaching me I have it in me. PRAISE JESUS!
Anyway, what I want to say is: DECLARING WORKS. GOD HAS THE STARTEGIES TO GIVE YOU WHAT YOU'RE DECLARING FOR. It will surprise you the way he uses to bless you and fulfill HIS word through your declaring.
To God be the glory forever!!!!!!
