Bhí mé cúig bliana déag d'aois agus mo shaol a bhí á iompaithe taobh istigh amach. Ní raibh mo ainm agus an chuma athraigh, ach gach rud eile mar gheall orm go raibh. Bhí mé ag duine go hiomlán difriúil ná mar a bhí mé in aghaidh na bliana nó dhó roimh. Ní féidir liom a chiallaíonn mhaith nuair a théann daoine chun coláiste agus ath-chruthú dóibh féin le leasainmneacha agus daoine nua; Ciallaíonn mé go raibh imithe rud éigin suntasach ar an taobh istigh de dom. Bhí bheith agam Críostaí. Bhraith mé nua. Bhraith mé beo.
Mhothaigh mé chomh maith go raibh mé a fhógairt é do dhuine ar bith a bheadh ag éisteacht, go háirithe mo chairde is gaire agus do mhuintir. D'fhreagair gach duine éagsúil leis an athrú ar mo-cuid le háthas, daoine eile a bhfuil friotaíocht-ach comhrá amháin sheas amach i gcónaí dom.
Bhí mé ag caint le fear aosta a bhfuil meas agam go mór, thrilled a mhíniú mo phlean cluiche do honoring Dia mo stíl bheatha, go sonrach mo íonachta gnéis. Bhain mé triail as a bheith socair faoi, ach bhí sé i gcónaí deacair a shealbhú ar mo excitement i. Mar léim na focail ó mo theanga ar luas mínádúrtha, Fuair mé an tuiscint nach raibh sé chomh corraithe is a bhí mé. Bhí sé ag iarraidh a bheith ag éisteacht go ciúin, ach d'fhreagair sé gothaí sula raibh a bhéal seans. Dhealraigh sé leathbhealach amused agus leath-shlí i gceist.
Thug sé dom le breathnú ar dhaoine eatarthu agus calmly d'iarr, "Cad chuige a bhfuil tú ag cur an saol chomh dona, fear óg? Cén fáth a bhfuil tú ag iarraidh chomh crua gach rud ceart? Is Óige an t-am nuair a praiseach tú suas go leor, agus sin ceart go leor. Just a taitneamh a bhaint as duit féin, foghlaim ó na botúin, agus a fháil tromchúiseach nuair a thagann tú níos sine. "
Bhí stunned mé. D'fhéadfadh roinnt a bheith déanta go bhfuil comhairle mar fuascailliú agus macánta, ach ní go conas a mhothaigh sé dom. Mhothaigh sé constraining agus míthreorach. Bhí a fhios agam a dúirt sé gurbh mícheart, ach bhí mé ina Chríostaí nua agus ní raibh mé in ann é a chur go leor i bhfocail.
léirigh mé ar an taithí ar feadh i bhfad, ach in ionad mhaolaíonn mo tine, I mo thuairimse, d'éirigh sé suas leis an teas. Ní raibh a fhios agam i bhfad ag an am, ach bhí a fhios agam nach raibh mé in ann suí ach timpeall agus fanacht. Bhí mé a fháil ar bun agus ag maireachtáil.
ÁR LOGIC Lochtach
Is dúiseacht mo chuid laghad is fearr leat de gach lá. Níl sé sin nach féidir liom a thuiscint an lae nua le deiseanna nua, ach ag dul amach as an leaba díreach riamh cosúil achomharc. riamh. Nuair a bheidh sé aon cheann déag san oíche, Tá dul i leaba ach mar chuid gnáth mo lá. Ach nuair a tá sé seacht ar maidin, fanacht sa leaba Is cosúil bhuaigh an crannchur.
Má fhéachann tú ar mo iPhone, feicfidh tú go bhfuil, Faraor, Tá mé thart ar sé bliana déag aláraim leagtha i incrimintí cúig nóiméad ag tosú díreach roimh 7:00 a.m. Cén fáth? Mar níl go leor i bhfad aon seans a bhfaighidh mé suas i ndiaidh an t-aláram déag. Glacfar chéad trí uimhreacha ceithre, fifteen, agus déag-iad mo seans ach go bhfuil i ndáiríre in aghaidh an lae.
Uaireanta I mo thuairimse raibh mé in ann ina luí mé féin aon ní sna miontuairiscí chéad codlatach de gach maidin. Bhí sé seo ag a ba mheasa le linn mo bliana coláiste, nuair a dreapadóireachta amach as an leaba ar maidin bhraith cosúil le dreapadh Sliabh Everest gan aon cosa. Raibh mé in ann a insint mé féin gach cineál na bréaga, cosúil, "Yeah, ba chóir duit dul go dtí rang, ach beidh sé i ndáiríre ní a?"Nó" Tá a fhios agam atá tú déanach gach lá ar feadh na trí seachtaine seo caite, ach cad atá lá eile?"Nó" B'fhéidir go mbeidh mo chara an tástáil a dhéanamh go dtí mé. Is fiú an riosca. "Sad, tá a fhios agam. Sin an méid glao mé 7:00 a.m. loighic.
An bréag Dúirt mé liom féin go raibh go mbeadh fanacht sa leaba a bheith go maith dom. Ar bhealach bheadh cúig nóiméad breise nó uair an chloig breise a fheabhsú mo shaol. Nuair atá mé leathan awake is cosúil foolish, ach sna chéad chuimhneacháin de gach lá is cosúil go foirfe loighciúil.
An féidir leat a shamhlú cad a bheadh an domhain a bheith cosúil má fuair duine suas go dtí go bhraith siad maith liom é? Bheadh Gnólachtaí huaire, Bheadh scoileanna ag fulaingt, bheadh an rialtas a bheith níos chaotic ná mar atá sé cheana. Bheadh aon duine go leor ama a dhéanamh a phost maith; ag an duine am a woke suas, beidh leath den lá a bheith imithe. Is í an fhírinne, is cuma cén t-am a shocraíonn tú a ardú ó do shuan, tá tú ach cheithre huaire fichead a bheith ag obair le. Ní Ag bualadh an cnaipe snooze cheannach i ndáiríre aon am breise. Do chuid oibre nach mbeidh ach a fháil déanta.
Ar an drochuair, a lán againn tar éis glacadh 7:00 a.m. loighic mar shlí bheatha. Táimid ar uairibh agus é Moilleadóireacht. Ní chuirimid gur mhaith leat ag déanamh rud éigin i láthair na huaire, mar sin cinneadh a dhéanamh linn chun é a chur amach go dtí ar ball. Uaireanta a dhéanaimid é le rudaí beaga, cosúil le cur amach an bruscar, ag déanamh staidéir ar thástáil, freagairt obair r-phoist, nó ag filleadh glaoch teileafóin Mam.
Ach nach bhfuil Moilleadóireacht réiteach iarbhír aon rud, mar sin tá sé ina smaoineamh droch chun moill tascanna laethúla dtí an nóiméad deireanach. Tá sé an smaoineamh níos measa fós saol féin chun moill.
CAD TÚ AG SÚIL?
A ligean ar a bheith macánta. Ní Ár gcultúr súil de ghnáth i bhfad ó dhaoine dtí go mbíonn siad sean. (Feicfidh mé a sheachaint ciontacha aon duine agus lig tú a shainiú d'aois.) De réir go leor, Níl an óige an t-am le haghaidh freagracht mhór nó ionchas. deir siad, "Feicfidh tú iompróidh an ualach freagrachta don chuid eile de do shaol, mar sin taitneamh a bhaint as do óige agus is féidir leat!"Is cosúil go Daoine a bheith ag súil againn a ghlacadh go léir den saol héadrom go dtí go sroicheann againn go draíochta, aois treallach freagrachta. An bhfuil sé ocht mbliana déag? An bhfuil sé is fiche? An bhfuil sé tríocha? Tá do buille faoi thuairim chomh maith mar mianach.
Bhí mé comhrá a dhéanamh le waiter i Phoenix oíche amháin nach bhfuil ró-fhada ó shin. Ní raibh sé i bhfad níos óige ná mé, is dócha sna fichidí luatha. Bhí sé i ndáiríre cairdiúil ón nóiméad shuigh mé síos, agus dar críoch muid suas a bhfuil comhrá maith. D'iarr mé air an gnáth ceisteanna go léir beag-caint: Cé as thú? Cén fhad a bhfuil d'oibrigh tú anseo? An mbeidh tú spit i mo bia?
Mar a d'fhreagair sé go dtí mo cheisteanna, ba léir gur mhaith cheannaigh sé isteach sa 7:00 a.m. loighic. Dúirt sé liom go raibh sé ina chónaí ach amháin i Phoenix ar feadh cúpla mí. Roimhe sin bhí sé i Nevada, roimh California, agus roimh go raibh cónaí air ar an Chósta Thoir. Ag an bpointe seo thosaigh mé ag iarraidh mé féin conas gur mhaith liom cur síos a dó ealaíontóir sceitse póilíní, ar eagla na heagla go raibh sé ina teifeach de chineál éigin.
Ach nuair a d'iarr mé air cén fáth a bhog sé timpeall an oiread sin, anseo cad a dúirt sé liom: "Díreach mar. Níl mé ag iarraidh a fanacht in aon áit amháin agus a chur ar a bunch freagrachta. Tá mé óg, fear. Tá sé mo chuid ama chun iniúchadh a dhéanamh go díreach, Ní bheidh bogged síos le bunch de thiomantais. Cé a fhios, b'fhéidir go mbainfidh atáim. "
Bhí mé brónach ach nach ionadh ag a fhreagairt. Ar ndóigh níl aon rud cearr leis ag gluaiseacht go leor nó féin-fionnachtain, ach tá séasúr inár fichidí-nó go luath fiú ár teens-nuair nach bhfuil an saol i ndáiríre ábhar? Ar chóir dúinn a shealbhú de thalamh ar gach ciontú, gealltanais, agus tromchúis go dtí ar ball?
IS FÉIDIR LEAT IONTAOBHAS IT?
Chuala mé amhrán an lá eile a gabhadh pheirspictíocht seo go foirfe. An lyric Chuaigh, "Tá áthas orainn, saor, mearbhall, agus uaigneach ag an am céanna. "
Fhios agam cur ar Taylor Swift Nach bhfuil imithe go maith do dhaoine san am atá thart (is gá dom a chur i gcuimhne duit faoi Kanye?). Ach tá mé sásta dul sa tseans agus scrúdaigh an méid a deir sí ina amhrán "22." Tá a fhios agam tá sé ach amhrán spraoi, mar sin níl mé ag iarraidh a overanalyze air. I mo thuairimse, tá sí gabhadh go rathúil na mothúcháin a lucht éisteachta agus an spiorad an aois. Ach tá an dearcadh ar fad mícheart.
Céard is brí leis, mar a deir sí san amhrán, a "dar fiche dó"? Ceiliúrann an t-amhrán ar an chineál carefree, solas, agus fásta óga éasca go lán againn shamhlaigh faoi. Ar an drochuair, molann sé go bhfuil an sonas agus saoirse le fáil i mearbhall, wanderings uaireanta olc. Níl aon treo, aon spraoi fhreagracht-ach chaotic. Tá sé go 7:00 a.m. loighic arís. Cé go bhfuil am le haghaidh saol nuair a bhraitheann tú fiche a dó? Ní raibh Swift dhéanamh pheirspictíocht seo suas; tá muid díoladh an loighic arís agus arís eile. Ach is féidir é a bheith iontaofa?
Cibé acu atá nó nach bhfuil an 7:00 a.m. Is loighic iontaofa ag brath ar cé tú féin agus cad a cruthaíodh agat. Má bhí tú a cruthaíodh ach amháin le haghaidh féin-sásamh agus taitneamh, D'fhéadfadh a bheith ansin a chur as an saol fíor go dtí ar ball an rogha is fearr. Má tá tú rud ar bith níos mó ná duine eile ag breathnú amach duit féin, ansin is féidir loighic sin waiter óg is cosúil fuaime deas. Is féidir leat fanacht go dtí níos déanaí a osclaíonn más mian leat a. Ach cad má cruthaíodh tú as rud éigin níos?

woow thanks alot Mr Trip Lee for this… I made this resolution for 2015 that every night I will wake up at 3 and true I always wake up but am not sure I pray I usually comfort myself by saying the year is still young I mean people are still sending the happy new year greetings then I think am just 20 let me wait when am 30 and have a family, páistí, a job and a husband then I will have alot to pray for… but thanks for this piece how I wish I can get the whole book too sounds very informative. .. anyway God bless you !! :-)
This is absolutely who I am RIGHT NOW! Faraor, but no need to hide. I am a single mom, full time student, own a small business, currently a staff leader for a church we planted in September 2014 (staff unpaid), and work part time at a safe home for teenage girls who are victims of sex trafficking and yes even after reading what I do I am sure you’re already exhausted! I dare myself every night before bed to wake up at least by 5:00 a.m. and set all my alarms..(yes ALL I mean the five on my phone and then the one that has a connection)always to 5:45, 6:00, 6:15, 6:30, agus 6:45…what time do you think I woke up today?!? 7:00!!! Is ea, I know I am so lazy… But really I am tired…maybe too much on my plate, so I am going to cut some things down currently, but ultimately your post is so true. I would be way more productive in everything I’m involved in, most importantly I could give more time to God. How silly really it is to waste such precious time. mar 25 blian d'aois( tá mé 25) or even as a 30 nó 40 year old we should be living everyday with a purpose because we have one, to live every day not wasted and to share His word and embrace every moment possible to grow in Him through our every day life. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to your concert in Orlando!!!
This post came at a perfect time, as my new year’s resolution was to be more disciplined, more specifically to wake up early and be in the Word every day so that my life is continually transformed by it. Thank you for the encouragement!
Dia maith. In the past weeks before school started back for my 5 year old son and he returned home from being with his mom for the holidays (even summer) every morning its ‘I’ll wake up in 20 mins,’ or whatever the excuse may be and hit the snooze button. Man before I got up for work I had already planned my entire day out and convinced myself as to why this extra sleep would help but every single time it would hurt me to stay in bed rather than help. A lot has happened in 2014 and I hit rock bottom bad! I’m just thankful God has shown me his mercy and grace to rebuild my life and start over and find the purpose he has for me on this earth because I don’t deserve it. Being more and more consistent in reading the word and understanding the our Lord and Savior Jesus is the living word it tells us that laziness, sleep, srl. will all lead to poverty, misfortune, and even death. A lot of sin has plagued my life and being lazy, getting that little extra sleep has held me back from the life God has for me. Nowadays I wake up 20 nó 30 mins before my alarm and hear that voice telling me ‘get up start early’, or even at work ‘don’t put this off do it now, put more effort into what your doing you can do better.’ I have fought the Lord for too long and I see doing things my way is going to put me in an early grave. I’m still not where I wanna be but have learned to give in to the spirit and just listen no matter what I am being steered to do but I’m human and I have the urge to go back to my ways. I’m afraid of letting God down, I don’t think I can fulfill his purpose for my creation, yea I’m doing better today or right now, but can I be consistent everyday all day God-willing and do my part as a Christian. Its exciting to read and learn but for me it has been scary to think I can do what God wants consistently and I go back to I’ll get with ya God tomorrow because I messed up today. Man my friend pushed me a long time ago to change what I listen to and I promise I just started listening to you Trip for a week now and you have already been an influence on my life man. I appreciate it and apologize for the long post just gotta tell ya thank you for your music and the excerpt above it’s all adding to my testimony that God is real and even though I feel lonely being a single father here in this big state of Georgia with so many people, God will work through others whether they’re arms reach or you never meet em to steer me in the right direction.
Your a talented artist my brother I look up to you I’m25 going to be 26 this May so I hope GOD uses me in a mighty way for his GLORY and riches plus i would like to do what you and other artist do preach the GOSPEL in a way that it doesn’t sound so religious and folks turn around and walk away but can be renewed and transformed and changed for the better because that inner voice that speaks within us telling those out there, there are those like us seeking of our purpose on what GOD wants and needs from us. Thanks for making this book can’t wait to get it I’m starting to like it already!

Haha. Mar sin fíor. I have the same problem. Dea stuif. I’m looking forward to the reading the book!
Encouraged. I hit the snooze button may too many times. I want to live a life that points to a good God. I need to pray and get a plan soon. Go raibh maith agat, TL.
Awesome! listening & agreeing & laughing. Go raibh maith agat!
I want this book. It’s for me 18 years old christian rapper from Macedonia.
this is so true and profound. Have been struggling with the 7:00 a.m logic especially since starting university where it has become even more difficult to wake up in time.
your testimony kind of reminds me of myself when I was young! Really enjoyed your perspective about LIFE!!!
im not joking, I needed to read this so badly right now. I’m getting ready to go to a different country for a year to do missions and tell people about JESUS, but the days leading up my leaving (which are now only 9,) have been full of me in the 7:00am logic. Is é an rud, cé, that every morning when I don’t wake up and I end up sleeping entirely too late, I am so upset at myself! I know I have this 7:00am logic, but I’m not okay with it. I just don’t know what to do to change it. It seems like even when I truly do try, I still fail. Go raibh maith agat as scríobh seo, turas. I am challenged.
WOW, i love this soo much. Wish i could get the book.
moladh Dia! Can’t wait to read your new book… I recently had a heart transplant on 9/29/14, and I thanked God everyday for His blessing, my point, like your last book the “Good Life” we tend to put or faith and trust in the wrong things.. Dia! #unashamed #116 #DontQuit #CantwaittoreadRise
Thank you for allowing me to dive into this excerpt from your new book. I do believe this will enlighten our culture and even start a conversation. I know some younger christians that will definitely appreciate this honest perspective as well. God bless and pray nothing, but blessings in this endeavor.
Hmmm, 7:00 am logic… I cannot say I’m NOT like this! Reading this made me think back to all the times that I wake up, look at the time, and say, “6:00? I think my first decision of the day will be… to go back to sleep.” I love my sleep! Not addicted, but don’t disturb me. I should instead say, “6:00? I think my first decision of the day will be to read God’s Word and pray.” Thank you Trip for sharing this. So excited for your book, I’ve already pre-ordered it!
Powerful stuff Trip. Thanks for sharing what the Lord has put on your heart in this regard. Your ministry is a blessing to many, Lord bless.
Such a lovely post. I am such a big fan of your music. It inspired me soo much. Finding out that you are both a blogger and writer was mind-blowing, since I’m both and have been looking for someone to look up to. I really wish I could get a copy of your book.
WOW! My friend listens to your music and she told me I’d like it. For sure my mind is blown. You’re real, honest and there’s absolutely no beating about the bush with you. You’ve inspired me so so much and although I’m 18 and feel like I’m going nowhere, there’s so much truth – raw honesty – and looking into God’s word from you that I’m so inspired and motivated to quit a bunch of bad habits. Imma cling onto that hope that there’s something good coming and especially not believing the 7:00 a.m. logic cuz I can totally relate and it’s something I’m working on. Go raibh maith agat!!
P.S. Looking forward to more awesome music! :)
Good day Trip.
