There are times, even in a super hero world, that we find ourselves feeling a little less heroic and a little more human. Case in point: The first thing I heard this morning was the last thing I wanted to hear - my alarm. For those of you who don't know, (no Cap, this does not include you) I am an avid snoozer. In fact, I bring snoozing to a whole new level! You would think that a Wonder Woman such as myself would spring out of bed ready to tackle the day but my constant pounding of the snooze button goes to prove the contrary. Sadly, after a 50 minute pounding, I surrender myself to the fact that I must get up and face the day.
I quickly forget who I am and what my mission is - to Rise and Shine! As I ponder the thought, I realize what that really means. God, the Ultimate Hero, gave me this life and he wants me to Rise and Shine my Light. Regardless of how I feel, he has given me a gift and I have the privilege of sharing it with others. That's my MISSION. So, even when I don't exactly feel like a beacon - God gives me the power to Shine. So put on your shades folks, I'm on a mission!
As a former room mate of abovementioned "Wonder Woman," I can vouch wholeheartedly for the admission of humanity in the snooze-button-pounding ritual....and the llllonnnnngggg showers which followed in further attempts to greet the day head on! :o) Definitely not a morning person, but, buddy, once the day gets rockin' watch out 'cause ArstyP (aka Wonder Woman) is gonna shine! Fun, fun memories!!
