“My mornings have always started with coffee. I prioritize drinking morning coffee before everything. (Kinda can’t start the day without it). The ritual starts the night before with water, coffee and setting the timer. Plus every morning I added steamed milk with plant based sugar! My total investment before that first sip was 5-10 min. Then I’d sit on the couch to drink it alone, in the quiet. 15-30 minutes in silence. I didn’t take the same time with God because I was too busy. Why not? So I made a commitment to change. (*ask me why later). Reading Gods word (2 devotionals) and now listening to The Morning Mindset podcast. Takes less than 15 minutes! Why didn’t I think of this sooner? Because I am a busy business owning woman with other people’s needs on my mind…and more! When I started, the worries and “things to do” came into my head at coffee time to distract me. I made a point not stop for them. I just added God to my coffee! Since then, there have been a lot of temptations to stop or worry. But not doing them or thinking of them…has made “God in my coffee” the best way to start every day. Really! It’s better than my ground Starbucks with steamed 1/2 & 1/2 and a teaspoon of Truvia. Is my day perfect because I do this? No but I feel energized and I lean into God more. I grab the air with my right hand and imagine God’s hand touching me during the day. I speak the name of Jesus in my head or outloud instead of swearing in frustration. Most of all it’s created a new ritual around my coffee time that makes my day better by doing it. So thanks to Morning Mindset I do 3 things in the morning. You’re new to my daily ritual. I am very grateful. So please enjoy your cup of coffee. Consider sharing with folks how they can put “God in their coffee” too!”
