F.I.T. For the Call " Have you forgotten that your body is now the sacred temple of the Spirit of Holiness, who lives in you? You don’t belong to yourself any longer, for the gift of God, the Holy Spirit, lives inside your sanctuary."   1 Corinthians 6:19- (The Passion Translation) I enjoy my sleep!  I am a very light sleeper.  The smallest sound wakes me up and sometimes I'm up for a while after that. I wish I could be that sound sleeper, or that person that falls asleep as soon as their head hits the pillow.  But I'm not.....I digress.....Because I am a child of God, my desires (flesh) must come under subjection to Him.  So although I'd much rather stay snuggled up under the warm covers, I force myself out the bed to pray and go exercise.  Now granted, I don't have far to go to the gym (basement- Praise Jesus for that)....but it's cold down there LOL This morning while I was working out, God told me, "take care of my instrument." ...

Every morning when I wake up, I open my Morning Meditation playlist on YouTube and just sit.  I don't pray (yet) or do anything else.  I just sit. Do you know how hard it is to just be still?  It's one thing to be quiet.  But to be still takes a greater discipline.  Because in being still, you have to silence the "inner thoughts"  the "inner voices".  I'm the type of person, if I wake up in the middle of the night, I can NOT think about anything or I will be awake.  It can be the simplest thing.  Once my mind gets going, there's no turning it off. Even to go back to sleep for a few precious moments of snoozing. As I sit, usually on the bed, I focus on the music that I am listen to.  It's all instrumental.  No words, no even instrumentals of songs I know.  Just strings, flutes, and piano.  Anyone that knows me, knows I LOVE a good string driven song, especially if a Cello is involved. I don't talk to God (yet), I do...
