Hi friends,
For most of my life, I was a night owl.
I did my best thinking late at night, loved a quiet house after everyone was asleep, and honestly couldn't imagine waking up early on purpose.
But about five years ago—the year I turned 40—something shifted. I decided I wanted to train my body to wake earlier, not out of hustle or productivity, but because I sensed God inviting me into a different rhythm. Slowly, gently, that change took root…and it's been life-changing.
These days, I don't even need an alarm. My body naturally wakes sometime between 5:30 and 6. And I'm grateful for that gift.
But here's the honest part.
All too often, I've found myself filling those early hours with everything except what first drew me there—household chores, packing lunches, getting kids out the door, easing into work. Good things, necessary things…but not the quiet, prayerful mornings I once guarded so carefully. Journaling. Unhurried prayers. Stillness with God.
In all honesty, I need our next Online Bible Study, which focuses on morning prayer, just as much as anyone else.
I don't struggle to wake up early anymore—but I do need the support, accountability, encouragement, and community that help me return my mornings to God again and again.
That's why I'm so grateful for The GREAT Morning Revolution with Tara Beth Leach. I've been immersing myself in this study over the past few months as I'm preparing to co-lead our community group alongside of Jaime and Laurie.
Believe me when I say: This study isn't about striving for the "perfect" morning routine. It's about creating a gentle, grace-filled rhythm that helps us meet with God before the day begins to demand so much from us.
I hope you'll consider joining me and the team as we learn to reclaim our mornings together. Not with pressure or guilt, but with intention, Scripture, and hope.
I truly believe God meets us in those first quiet moments of the day. And I can't wait to see what He does when we choose to begin with Him each and every day.
With you in the mornings,
Erin
