Some mornings feel like a dream—your kids sleep in, you get your alone time, and the day starts on a peaceful, prayerful note. But then there are mornings when your toddler wakes you up at 4 a.m., someone is sick, or you hit snooze one too many times. What do you do then?
In this episode, we’re talking about the reality of mornings that don’t go as planned and how to connect with God even when your “perfect quiet time” feels impossible.
We’ll cover:
- The picture-perfect morning routine we all dream of—and why it doesn’t always happen.
- Encouragement for moms in seasons where alone time just isn’t realistic.
- Creative ways to spend time with God throughout your day, including: reading a children’s Bible with your kids, listening to Scripture while tackling chores, and praying over your family and home as you go about your tasks.
Here’s the truth: God meets us where we are—whether that’s in a quiet living room with coffee or in the chaos of a busy morning with little ones.
🎯 Your Homework: Take a moment to write down two alternative ways to spend time with God when your morning plans don’t work out. Keep them handy for the next time your quiet time gets interrupted.
