We have 2 large dogs, but she has been desiring a teacup dog of her own. We agreed that she could have a puppy if she earned the money and purchased it on her own. Well she did&#8230;and this week Miss Zailey arrived at our home. \u00a0A puppy is like a baby\u2026cute as can be, but needing much attention. I have been awake at least three times each night since our new addition has arrived. Our daughter is doing a great job, but I know she needs more sleep than I do so I\u2019ve been helping with the early morning care. This morning at 2:12, I can assure you that \u201c<span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>Good Morning<\/em><\/span>\u201d was not on my lips, I was not ready to start my new day, and I was not jumping out of bed with my arms raised. Our youngest son will be 7 next week and I am not used to this\u2026at all\u2026 This morning at 5:10, a frustrated 12 year old woke me, she wasn\u2019t feeling well, and the puppy wanted to play. So we played. As I sat in the living room I looked at this little alarm clock and thought about my plans for the day. So much to do, and now it will be done on less than 4 hours of sleep.<\/p>\n<p>At that moment I had a choice; how I approach my day is my choice. And I chose to approach it with joy. God woke me up. Albeit tired, but I\u2019m awake nonetheless. Today my worry was lack of sleep due to a puppy. Yesterday it may have been different, but despite what my worry is, this morning is a good morning. It\u2019s a brand new day, a brand new morning, how are you going to approach today?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', sans-serif;\">Despite what you may be facing <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', sans-serif;\">God has given you the gift of life on this day. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', sans-serif;\">He will give you strength&#8230;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', sans-serif;\">He will give you just what you need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">\u00a0* \u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0~ \u00a0\u271e \u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0~ \u00a0*<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Let\u2019s pray:<\/span><\/strong> Father God, thank You for mornings, for new beginnings, and for fresh starts. \u00a0You said You are our strength, and today we may need that strength more than ever. \u00a0We stand strong on Your promises, and I pray that each and every woman here sees beauty in today. \u00a0In Jesus\u2019 name we pray, Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wave away my yesterday &#8216;Cause I&#8217;m leaving it behind me Hello sunshine, come what may I feel something new inside me I hear the birds singing Now my alarms ringing Get up, get up Hey It&#8217;s a good morning Wake up to a brand new day This morning, I&#8217;m stepping, Stepping on my way Good [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":16629,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4937],"tags":[1287,425,4071,4932,6214,1075],"class_list":["post-26473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-psalms-hymns-and-spiritual-songs","tag-gch","tag-girlfriends-coffee-hour","tag-mandisa","tag-psalms-hymns-spiritual-songs","tag-tobymac","tag-tonya-ellison","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/psalmshymnsspiritualsongskjv.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p39pHp-6SZ","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26473"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26473\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26487,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26473\/revisions\/26487"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
