Since returning from Spiritual Rhythms, I have done my best to wake up earlier and get straight to my quiet time instead of wasting my morning and not getting around to it later in the day. This was a habit that I unfortunately implemented in my daily routine, so I decided to fix it when I got back from our trip. We have not been home for long, so I have not been able to practice it to the extent that I would prefer yet, but I am praying that the Lord would continue to develop this discipline in my life.
Another thing I wanted to grow in was listening to more worship music throughout the day to get my mind more set on the Lord. It is easy for me to listen to junky music while I work out, as I am trying to hype myself up. However, I have felt more convicted of this recently since getting back from Spiritual Rhythms, so I have made an effort to take a time in my workout to listen to Christian music only. This practice is good for me because I often find myself falling into vanity in the gym and losing sight of my purpose on the earth.
When I listen to secular music, I listen to it for my own gain, but I have found worship music to be a useful way to posture my heart toward the Lord.
Although this is a foreign practice to me, I do not want to stop it, and I want my desires to be God first before I fuel myself with secular music.
