I've been having trouble sleeping lately, well since about November, it stinks!!! Part of the problem is temperature. I go to bed fine, pajamas, blanket, sometimes socks on-depending how cold it is or I am. I wake up....beyond hot!! I'm ripping blankets off, socks off, whatever I can get off. Well then it's hard to get back to sleep for me. So you know how it can be when your tired, it effects everything else in your life. Well it has mine anyway, the only thing I think of is sleep, I might be a little dramatic but you get the idea. I get up in the morning get done what I need too & sleep till I have to get ready for work. I come home from work & think, "maybe I can nap for half an hour." I feel grouchy & hateful. I don't like it, it's not who I want to be. Then I was talking to somebody about it & I know their intentions were good but they said, "oh your just getting started!! This could go on FOR YEARS!!!" WHAAAAT!!!!! I can't do this for years!!! Well this morning when I woke up, for the 2nd time, it was b/c I was freezing!! Are you kidding me!? The 1st time I'm sweating like a politician in church & the next time I couldn't get enough blankets on--frustrating. Well it brought this verse to my mind: Revelation 3:16- So, b/c you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth. I thought, "well, yes Lord, I am either hot or cold--doesn't seem like there's much in between." But that's not what He's talking about--I know that & I'm gonna be honest w/ you all....spiritually---I feel like maybe God would spit me out. I don't want that--I want to be on fire for Him. I want my daily routine to get back to it's normal routine. I don't want to be tired anymore. I know a lot of this will pass. I know that God sees way beyond my upfront self. He knows the desires of my heart & sees what's going on in my mind, He will do in me what needs to be done to give me a revival of the heart & a renewing of the mind. I know His work is being done even as I write this. So I guess I want to encourage each of you, that if you've been feeling "lukewarm" don't give up. Don't just think, "I'm going to be spit out & that's it!" It's not it. Go to God, tell Him what's going on. Let Him do the healing in you, before we all know it, He's going to set a Holy fire in us all that cannot be contained & how wonderfully great that will be, for Him & us!!!
