I've heard it said that it takes 21 consecutive days to program a new habit.   I want desperately to become a Proverbs 31 woman.  She's my role model.  The Scriptures don’t tell us her name, but I like to call her Shefar (She who is Far Above Rubies), and I want to be just like her. 

One of her habits that I've yet to firmly establish is rising early every single day.  So I've added a ticker in the sidebar to track the goal of waking everyday before 6:00 am for 21 consecutive days.  If I miss a day, I'll have to go back and start the ticker over again.

"She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens."

--Proverbs 31:15

Riseth is the Hebrew word “quwm.”  It means “to come on to the scene” and can also be used for “becoming powerful.”  That’s how I want to wake up!  I want to arrive on the scene of each day with renewed strength and power.

I have been struggling with this same thing. I want to get up earlier, but when the time comes I have having problems motivating myself to get out of bed. I'll pray for you!

I love this idea. Am reading a book on Proverbs 31 woman. I need an early start too each day and a ticker might be helpful. I should start considering putting one too on my blog =) Thanks!
May I add you as a friend?

Warm blessings,
Maria
