A Good Time to Join

The beginning of summer might seem like an odd time to remind you about the 5 O'Clock Club. But if "Jesus Christ is the refreshing center of summer," what better way to spend the season than by rising early to meet with Him?

Holly sent us this funny story of her recent--and rather unusual--enrollment in the 5 O'Clock Club:

Girltalkers, I love the idea of the 5 O'Clock Club, but my new baby was keeping me up most of the night and just couldn't handle the toddler plus the baby without a bit more rest. Well, when my baby's birthday rolled around and I was rested again, I was entered into your glamorous 5AM club without making the decision myself. Now I can say that the LORD has faithfully wakened me every day for about 2 months. I haven't set an alarm once! This morning I woke up and thought, "Well, here we go again" I stumbled down the hall and made the coffee and dove into the Word. When I finished reading (maybe about 45 minutes later) it was still sooo dark outside and looked at my watch and it was only 4:30. I had wakened at 3:30 and just assumed it must be around 5am. With the coffee already in me, there was no chance of going back to sleep. Lots of prayer this morning .... lots. Mostly centered on pleading for a miracle to grab a nap this afternoon! Next time I'll remember to check my watch! Holly
