The past few weeks I have not slept well, and have been woken up for one reason or another. Yesterday morning was no different. I woke up at 3am with some major issues with my bag. More crap to clean up..ha! There is no sweeter wake up call than that (sigh). I definitely relate to all you moms out there who get very little sleep. It is a struggle for sure.
I got frustrated at first because of the mess and knew that sleep would not return easily, but then I remembered yesterday’s post about not taking everything so seriously so I tried to find the amusement in a very annoying situation. Sleep did not return until about 6am and even then I did not sleep long. However, the positive in this situation is that I was able to read some very encouraging devotions during that time and to pray. I have been reminded that these unexpected wake up calls provide an excellent time to pour out my heart to the Lord and to ponder His Word. He always manages to help me put things into perspective and finds some way to get through to my sleep deprived brain. So the next time you find yourself not able to sleep, spend that time talking to God. I can assure you that He will not disappoint, and He will give you the inner peace and rest your soul so desperately needs.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday!
