MeiMei (pronounced "May May" means "Little Sister")
After I send our oldest off, I like to sneak back up to bed. This only works well if the house is still quiet with no young men stirring and ready to start home school. This is my favorite time because it is still fairly dark and cool. (Our apartment is constructed out of concrete which keeps the interior pretty cool most of the time.) Fully dressed, I slip back in bed, pull the covers up over my knees, and wait for "Little Sister" to come and have some snuggle time. Being the only girls in the family, we have to stick together; besides she makes a pretty good heater curled up close by. This is my time to read and think and pray and get my heart ready for the day. It's also an introvert's much needed solitude in the midst of the some times chaotic and rowdy rhythm that we call life.
"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul." Psalm 143:8 NIV
"In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation." Psalm 5:3 NIV
