No. I was not out clubbing or talking with a boy all night. I was awaken very early this morning and couldn't for the life of me go back to bed.
This is not a regular occurrence at all! Sleeping has never been a problem for me. In fact, I tend to be a pretty light sleeper who is often woken up, but then alwaysss can go back to bed in an instant. Not to mention I have a nasty habit of staying up until around 3 a.m. every night. That equates to me never having a problem sleeping in until my alarm blasts multiple times to wake me up.
However, some mornings are unusual...and I always have the same thought when those days come around.
"Why, out of all days, can I not go back to sleep? It's like 5am!" Then it hits me! I'm supposed to be up and STAY up for a reason. Actually, it's not so much a thought...I literally cannot stop tossing and turning. It's like I am being moved out of bed.
Do you ever have those mornings? I feel that the Lord, for some strange reason, tends to pick certain mornings to rattle me out of bed and make me do something. Sometimes He wants me to go out on the porch and watch the College Station clouds race by (they move so quickly in the mornings here). Other days he wants me to go outside and pray. This morning he wanted me to get up, leave the house, and go to the REC.
So I did...and I did it with much confusion haha.
So I did my whole work out and got to have some nice time with the Lord playing a little Jon Foreman. That was nice, but the most interesting part was after the workout! I went outside to stretch out and so many emotions just flooded over me. Then while listening to JJ Heller's, "Your Hands", I just felt a release of so many worries and fears I had for the coming year of uncertainties which I honestly didn't even realize were even there.
"So THAT was the plan for this morning, huh?" haha.
I find it so funny that we can spend every single moment of every day with ourselves and still not even understand what's going on in our lives. God is working in us in ways we can't even imagine and don't understand until He finally decides to reveal it to us.
Anywho, that provided me with the number 7 in my countdown! Also, I think it's about 7 weeks until I graduate! WHOOP! Have a blessed day!
