My Morning Routine
I do the same thing every morning. I brush my teeth, make coffee, pull out my bible, power up my laptop, grab all my pens, highlighters, colored pencils, and notebook. I pray and I spend the next 1-2 hours doing my daily bible study and devotional.
Bible Study and Devotional
I recently started using, thank you, Joy!, Mama’s Refill for some specific studies. I am working on a few right now. If you are interested in browsing all the studies, go to https://mamasrefill.com/ and connect to other busy moms. They even have fun suggestions for kids.

Outside of this recent find, I have been reading the book of John. I also love the book of Romans. So many insights that I find in these passages. I also use the Woman’s Bible app on android.

They give you a daily Psalm, daily verse, and daily gospel. They also have a morning and evening devotional. I enjoy this app very much because you can highlight, bookmark, and make notes. It’s helpful to organize my thoughts and go back to things I’ve worked on. They have 4 highlight colors and I designate each color for Church Service, Sunday/Wednesday School, Study (personal), and passages that I’m learning to come to terms with or want to refer to later for personal growth.
I also bought this book and have started using it for my daily devotions. So far I love it and it’s fun to hear other people’s experiences. I love hearing how people apply verses to themselves and their lives.
I also love music and I dedicate my mornings to listening to a number of songs that I love and are worshiping the Lord. Here are a few for your listening pleasure.
Music
These are just a few in my worship playlist. I have tons more but these are the constants. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Read
After my bible study, I tend to do some reading. Right now, I’m reading

Write
If I don’t read, I take time to write. Right now, I’ve been on a hiatus from writing anything. I chose to take a couple weeks to myself and to ignore all the pressure of deadlines, goals, objectives, editing, and planning. It’s been refreshing, but soon I will be back to it and I’ll report on my progress.
Homeschool
After this, I start homeschool with the kids. Right now, we are doing a cooking unit. The kids are learning about safety, kitchen equipment, rules, and possible food poisoning or illness. They are more interested in eating the food they make, I can’t say I blame them. But it is important to cover the basics first. Foundation is most important in all things.
There you have it, my morning routine doesn’t change much. This is pretty much how I spend my mornings.
What do you do with your mornings? Any fun quirks? Share with me. Have a wonderful Friday!
