I've been having trouble sleeping. I've been waking up at 3:00 am everyday, consistently for over a week. I thought maybe it's the time change, I did not gain an hour like they say you do. Then I thought maybe it's this shot I got to help w/ some female stuff going on. Maybe I'm drinking coffee to late, it's never bothered me before but as my family likes to point out, I'm getting older & my body is changing! Why thank you everybody!! Lol. Whatever the reason sleep is not consistent. So last nite I'm sleeping & I'm sleeping good until all the sudden Ringo decides he needs to find me. He does that when he wants to lay by me or if he needs to go out. He takes his nose & nudges me. My arms, my legs, my face, wherever he can--he does. Last nite, no different. So I say, "do you have to go out?" We go to the door, I open it, he looks at it, turns & goes & lays down by the couch. Okay he just wants to be near me--how nice (that is sarcastic!) I look at the time..4:00, well I got an extra hour but I'm thinking, "could you not have waited 1 more hour & then I would've been up--for the day!!" So I'm whining, "Lord, PLEEEEASE let me go back to sleep--just for this last hour!!!!" I'm fussing in my prayer, telling God how tired I've been--how tired I am & I just want to sleep!! Then He gives me this verse...Philippians 4:19- And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. God knows exactly what I need!! He knows exactly how to provide what I need. So I need to trust & know that God will make sure I get the rest I need. Maybe it means I stay home & not over commit myself. Or I just read & meditate on His word. However, He will bring me to the place of resting, reviving, renewing, & peace!! He will do the same for you. Maybe it's not sleep your feeling deprived of, it might be time, or w/ the holidays coming up your feeling anxious, whatever it is remember that God knows what you need to get through each day & He will always provide you w/ it!!!! Go to Him (maybe not in the whiney voice I used lol) & let Him comfort you & remind you of His word. You'll always be so glad you did!!
