Day 14

"Savior I come, quiet my soul."
Lead Me To The Cross by Hillsong United

I have a rather tough time sleeping, staying a sleep, or getting 'good' sleep at night, usually in 2 or 3 month stretches. This is naturally frustrating, let alone tiring and boring. But a week or so ago, I woke up from a terrible nightmare and was far too afraid to go back to sleep. I was laying in bed, staring up at the ceiling like I usually do, but an idea popped into my head. Why not spread some quality time with God? It was extremely refreshing, laying there in a silent house, my fear slowly slipped away so I was completely calm and relaxed. I loved the good time we spent, it felt like I was the only one in the entire world and that it was just me and him talking like the oldest of friends. It's comforting to be reminded that no matter what time of day he will always be there to listen. Even more so, I learned that we will communicate best if I can just calm my soul and focus solely on God. Maybe those stretches of sleepless nights aren't such a nuisance, but rather a blessing in disguise, a good time to talk to God.
