Who is the boss of your mornings? Do you drag yourself out of bed, running late before you even started? Do you wake up to the demands of your kids or work? Are you scrambling to get everything done before you head out the door?
It’s time to take back your mornings!
In this episode of the More to Be Podcast, we’re excited to bring you “mornings” expert Kat Lee!
Kat is passionate about teaching others how to jump-start each day with a grace-filled, life-giving morning routine. She is the author of the Hello Mornings book, a speaker, podcaster, and the founder of HelloMornings.org. She and her husband, Jimmy, live in Waco, Texas, with their three children.
We kick off the episode chatting about how to remodel our morning routines with the simple three-step Hello Mornings plan followed by digging into Psalm 143. That passage opened up all sorts of conversation about what to do when we’re struggling in our faith and routines. Kat brings us examples filled with Biblical truth and hope.
You’ll notice this is a long episode that was impossible to break into two parts since each thought carried into the next. You won’t regret listening all the way to the end, as Kat helps us think about the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
You have to start waking up for your kids rather than to your kids. – Kat
The way we start our day is important — we can start our day with Jesus. We need to study our Bibles, too, and we can do that any time of the day. – Kat
