Morning Mood by Edward Greeeeeeg

At least that's the way I remember my music teacher pronouncing it in elementary school. The practically perfect mornings have opened the door to walks with the kids. The jogging stroller has opened the door to runs with the babe. Either way, the mornings plus the outside equal a refreshing start to a new day.

Kelly sent me a HeyTell message (a free app for your iPhone, a must have) this morning and suggested I blog about my morning walks, and her message was coincidentally after a morning full of clarity. (Picture from our walk)

I was running by myself, teeth unbrushed, hair unkept, makeup nonexistent, but my soul kept crying out the lyrics from an old Third Day song.

Give me a revelation,
Show me what to do
Cause I’ve been trying to find my way,
I haven’t got a clue
Tell me should I stay here,
Or do I need to move
Give me a revelation
I’ve got nothing without You

Regardless of my physical mess, I felt whole and complete as the words of this song sang from my mouth as I inhaled and exhaled my run. I've realized that when we're lacking, we can sit in our "lack" or we can ask. Simple. Just ask.

God, give me a revelation. I want to know you more. I want to know your entirety, nothing missing, nothing broken. Speak to me in all of your creation. Each part is crying out to you and I want to hear what they're saying.

i know for a fact that sans makeup, brushed teeth and hair you still look amazing.
I know God will meet you in that prayer and in that RUN. How fitting running physically made you want to RUN to him. thanks for bringing the good word sis.
