Last year was the biggest of my life. I experienced large amounts of growth in certain areas and witnessed several massive changes. I began the hardest school year of my life, was elected as captain of my basketball team, and began this blog. Three massive responsibilities on a sixteen-year-old back. And I wonder why I have back problems.

I’ll admit, it was hard. In fact, 2019 was the hardest year of my life. I struggled with feelings of depression, doubt, anger, and anxiety. And yet, through it all, God was (and is) good. With that, I owe a few thanks to the people that stood by me in 2019.

Coffee

Most mornings, I wake up to a vibration on my wrist. My FitBit (a knockoff, mind you) has an alarm function that, instead of beeping, vibrates to wake you up.

Morning Routines

On By Elisha McFarlandIn Blog Posts7 Comments

I am often a creature of habit. Because of this, I usually do the same things in the morning.

6:15- Wake up

6:20-6:50- Drink coffee, spend time journaling, spend time reading the Bible.

6:50-7:30- Set the table, make my bed, fill the water filters, etc.

I usually stick to this plan, save for the mornings that I go for a run. As it is, this habit proves intensely useful in a world that rejects Bible reading. When we, as Christians, take the time to spend thirty minutes in Jesus, our days and hearts are affected. Guys, I cannot emphasize this enough. Reading the Bible in the morning is crucial to our life as Christians. There. I tried to emphasize it. Setting a Biblical reading goal and sticking to it is the best way to get closer to Him.
