It's a Good Morning!

Every morning on the hour, our local Christian radio station plays an upbeat, impossible-to-forget song by Mandisa, who is joined by Toby Mac. The song is called "Good Morning" and if you haven't heard it, you should go to iTunes or Pandora and find it and listen to it. I guarantee it will lift your spirits.

The song is such an inspiration to me that I have it programmed as my alarm ring tone for my phone so that I am sure to hear it every single day. I find something so uplifting and energizing about the song, and such a great reminder of God's forgiving spirit, that I really want to start my day off with those sentiments.

It is one of those songs that sticks with me all day long. I don't know if Mandisa hears this a lot, but I just can't get it out of my head once I've heard it. I truly do "wake up singing" - in my head, at least.

I can carry the message of God's love around in my head all day long just because of a catchy tune. But it is the fact that I am being intentional about filling my head with that tune that makes it an effective way to smooth out the day ahead and create a bit of a glide path for me to launch my day.

So thanks, Mandisa and Toby Mac, and thanks to The Promise radio station, for bringing me such a wonderful way to start my day.
