As I’ve mentioned in other entries, I’ve been getting up at 6:30 and doing devotions<\/a> before heading out on my walk. Devotions are the ODB reading<\/a> and a hymn or two<\/a> as I do most of my praying while I’m out on the walk.<\/p>\n

The benefits of this:
\n-I get my butt in gear and get some time in my Father’s world<\/a>. I’ve lost a few inches from my waist and butt in the process. (Happy peripatetic Jen!)
\n-I get all my nervous energy out. The Lexapro mutes the nervous feelings but it hasn’t gotten rid of the actual nervous energy. The walk uses up that energy so that I’m a little more chill the rest of the day.
\n-I meet the most interesting creatures<\/a> and people.
\n-I get some serious prayer time. I’m one of those people who needs to be doing something else at the same time to really pray on my own (i.e. crocheting, doing dishes, walking) and I find that I get much of my life sorted out with the Lord during the the 3+ miles I walk.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, I wasn’t able to go for my walk because of the rain and it felt weird all day to sleep in until 8:30 with my purring lump of black satin because I felt like I should have gotten up and been outside at 6:30. Is this the sign that it’s now a habit???<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
