I'm a 5:16 Gal

 

While searching the web, I found this interesting button. I clicked on it and I fell in love with the idea. Although it has been removed from the site, here is some of what the website - Like a Warm Cup of Coffee had to say:

5:16 Gal  What is a 5:16 Gal?
 A 5:16 gal is a gal who has decided that she wants to redeem the time with her Savior. She is choosing to rise early, before the day takes her away, to sit at the feet of Jesus.

5:16 Gal  Why 5:16?
Ephesians 5:16 says, "making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." The literal meaning is "redeem the time." We are seeking to redeem the time and make the most of every opportunity to seek the Lord with all our hearts.  Because the days are evil. We must prepare for battle each and every day - sometimes just to get through the day!

I was hooked! Although the idea original started with a Mom and her daughters, it spread over to the website Like a Warm Cup of Coffee.  I received permission to add it to ABCJLM and I am extending the invitation to you! Who needs to redeem the time with her Savior more than a Mom? 

You can join us on Facebook for the 5:16 Gal Group.  If you need accountability, message the group and ask for a sister in Christ to hold you accountable.   Like a Warm Cup of Coffee also has a forum and Twitter "516 Twibe" where you can chat live with other 5:16 Gals!

Unsure of where to begin?  Kat at Inspired to Action has created an amazing ebook to help you "Maximize Your Mornings." She has laid out a plan so easy anyone can follow.  A plan to help you prepare your heart, health, and mind for what the day holds. 

Want to join us? Contact me with your name and website/blog (if you have one) and I will add your name to the list.  Copy the button and let everyone know you are a 5:16 Gal!

 

Count me in as a 5:16 Gal...
