I have been having trouble getting a good night sleep lately. I think it is because I have a lot on my mind. So anyways, right now it is exactly 4:07 a.m and I am wide awake. I woke up, ate a bowl of cereal and decided to read a little of the Word. I read Isaiah 52: 11-12: Go now, leave your bonds and slavery. But Babylon behind you, with everything it represents, for it is unclean to you. You are the Lord's holy people. Purify yourselves, you who carry home the vessels of the LORD. You will not leave in a hurry, running for your lives. For the LORD will go ahead of you, and the God of Israel will protect you from behind.
This verse is rich in wisdom, but the last line really struck me; I ask myself, "Why am I up at 4 a.m worrying about the future?" Not only has God gone ahead of me, but he brings up the rear, too! He has both ends and I'm sandwiched somewhere in between.
Enough said...I'm going to finish my bowl of cereal and go on back up stairs to sleep...good night.

i know the feeling doll. i sometimes have trouble going to sleep.. & then i find myself talking to the Lord & on some nights i think i feel his presence & it causes me almost to feel a bit fearful.. not in a negative sense, but in a respectful, unknown way.. does that make sense?
anyways, just relating.. i don't sleep much either these days..
