I have learned that there are just somethings about me I have to accept and embrace. It is so easy to fall in the trap of comparison as if God created perfect people.

Still, I Rise Early
I can’t remember a season in my adult life that I did not rise early. Even though our last two (of our ten) children are teens and I have no reason or responsibility to, still, I rise early.
