A little part of the Big story.....fka "My Year to Thrive"

My favorite word in highschool was Lagniappe thanks to Dr. Sims. Lagniappe is 'a little something extra.' I just like the word and the french origin. Hope you enjoy a little something extra today!

Eggs and God in the morning

I am making today the best day of the week. I am a morning person but lately I have fallen out of the habit of getting up as early as I used to. I used to go to bed dreaming about eggs in the morning. Really, breakfast is a great meal. I wont say favorite because I like them all but opposed to most people - I love breakfast. At the Theta house in Athens Ms. Paula used to do breakfast for dinner every few weeks. All the girls came to this meal. She would cook about every breakfast item you could fathom - which I think is a little much but that's how she did things. Maybe for my turn at family dinner in a few weeks I will do a 'breakfast for dinner' theme. I think my roommates would think I am cheating though.
So this morning I popped out of bed and screamed I want eggs! My roommates already think I am a little weird so no worries. Along with eggs and the smell of coffee (I dont necessarily have to drink it just like to make it) God goes great in the morning. Dont take this the wrong way - He goes great all day long and in everything (I know what you are thinking) but especially in the mornings I like to sit eat egs, smell coffee, and listen to God on my side porch. It's like a shower as Billy Phenix says: 'If you don't get up and do it (I dont) then you just have that funk and you can just feel it all day." I dont necessarily relate to the shower thing but I like his thinking. Eggs and some time with God are the perfect way to start the morning - especially if you have a side porch like I do with twinkle lights (and, yes, the smell of beer from a party back in July).
Thank you, Jesus, for helping me get up this morning and do what it is I like to do and what I know is good for me. I love seeking You in the morning and knowing You are with me throughout the day.
I am all about this trying to do what I really want to do thing. It is hard: for example: tomorrow I really just want to go to the mountains and hike and relax for the weekend. But there are other obligations that I feel I have to do. This feeling altogether stresses me out. The world really would be happier if people just did what they were passionate about in all arenas of life.

Aghhhh.....I think the non-drinking coffee is burning and the smoke alarm is going nuts.....
Later
