I have been awake since 1:00 AM. No reason, just can't sleep. Not restless, just can not sleep and when I can't sleep, my mind wonders.
The other day I was restless and I told my husband. He sent me a text with only two things on it...Psalms 121. Period! I was taken back to a time when my grandmother use to sing in Spanish like only a God loving grandmother could sing:
"Alzare mis ohos a los montes donde vendra mis socoro....mi socorro viene de Jeovah que hizo los cielos y la tiera."
"I will lift my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord who made the heavens and the earth."
This morning I focus on verse 3 where I am reminded that He who watches over me does not sleep, with that said, I should be sleeping. Instead, I am thinking that this morning, I will be at church alone as my husband has been called out on assignment, I am thinking that this morning my brother will have his weekly Sunday morning visit with my father-in-law and I am also thinking that our number two son will visit with his grandfather one last time before he heads out for boot camp.
Yeah, I'm awake and did I just say I was not restless? At one point I opened my eyes and was met by two beautiful brown eyes looking back at me. Our diva dog was laid out - not veritcal but horizontally-between us. I looked at her and she looked back at me and she had no worries in the world. She was lying between the two people that love her most in the world...why should she worry? Not to mention she had the run of the bed!
So why do we wake up at crazy hours thinking, speculating, trying to change things when we know God is in control and He's not sleeping! I can't change a thing but I can choose to believe it when God's word says He has it onder control. "I will lift my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from"...time for coffee.
The Lord watcjes over you-the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and foreevermore. Psalms 121: 5-7
