5 Reasons You Should Start Your Day With A Little Coffee & Lots Of Jesus
Mason Moorefield

Some people start their days with an episode of Netflix, a nice big breakfast, or just catching up on social media. How do I start my day? Well, since I've been in college, I have tried to start my days with my Bible and a cup of coffee. I truly believe that starting your morning with Jesus and enjoying a nice cup of coffee can change your mood towards your entire day.

Here are 5 more reasons you should do just that:

1. Stress relief 

Something happens to you when you open up your Bible. In the morning when I sit and open up my Bible and turn on my worship music, it doesn't matter what is going on in my life, all of my stress disappears. I open the word and I feel a peace come over me and I know that for those few short minutes that I spend with the Lord, I don't have a care in the world.

2. Better outlook on the day

When I start my days with my warm cup of coffee and my Jesus time I am more optimistic about the day that is ahead of me. I think about what is weighing on my heart and mind and I leave it at the cross in the morning. I know that no matter what problems or stress that I am facing, they are so small when I think about how big his love is for me.

3. Happiness

During my quiet time, I will come across something in the Bible and it just makes me smile. Reading about the love that God has for us just makes you feel comforted and happy. I think about all of the crazy and hectic things going on in my life and I think about my failures and I can't help but smile. I know that no matter how many times I fail, he is there to pick me up and he still loves me.

4. Guidance 

God is funny in the way that he places certain things in our lives. When I have my time with him in the mornings, I always read a verse that is so relatable to situations in my life. I even find that when I read those verses in the morning I can relate them to certain things throughout the day.

5. Strength 

Starting your day off by being in the word gives you strength to know that you can face whatever the day brings. You know that no matter what you are up against you will stand tall and overcome it because HE is on your side and gives you the strength to do so.

I encourage you to dive into the word every morning. Sit down with a cup of coffee and sit in the presence of the Lord. Your days will be brighter, happier, and you will feel stronger and better because you did so.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
