Awake. :)

I was just reading some updates on facebook. A wise friend's update read, "Don't make any major decisions when you are lacking sleep or helplessly tired." Thankfully, it didn't say, "Don't write on your blog," either. . .

it's 3:24am. boo. here's the good news. my niece, nephew, baby Jordan, and Nate are all sleeping soundly. Jordan woke up at 2:30, screaming. very weird. i think he may have had a bad dream. poor guy. i rocked him back to sleep (so sweet) but am left still awake. not surprised. i usually don't recover well from middle-of-the-night awakenings. (i know... this doesn't work well with having children) oh well. however, of all the nights to be deprived of sleep, i really wish it wasn't this one. praying that God's grace carries me through a drive to New Albany and back in the morning with all 3 kiddos. Lord Jesus, be exalted as you give me enough energy for this . . . and safety in travel . .. and a gracious husband who allows me to nap when i get home! :)

but, while i'm awake, of course my thoughts turn to prayers. i love that about the Holy Spirit . . . never wasting a moment!

i love that exhaustion doesn't separate me from Jesus, that he is always with us, even when our brain is so foggy our sentences aren't coming out very clear.

and, i love that this Scripture is rolling through my head.

the Lord is my shepherd

i shall not be in want

he makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet waters; he restores my soul.

Goodnight (hopefully)! Love you all!
