sleep

sleep. some view it as just catching up on rest from too many late nights studying for that stupid exam that didnt even matter. sleep for me is much more than just closing my eyes and dreaming for a few hours. it's about taking 8 or so hours of giving time up to God saying "God, i cannot go on any more, i must rest to recharge" it's surrendering, it's sacrifice. maybe just a small sacrifice, but enough to say im still human. i cannot get all the things i want done in my time, things will work out regardless though. So lack of sleep, or thinking we dont need sleep is almost prideful... though we must take into account that some people just can't fall asleep. this has been my life lately. it seems that no matter how hard i try i cannot get to sleep. So i pray. i pray that God lift the burdens and worries off of my mind and give me peace. Read Psalm 4:8 :) a good friend told me about this verse and so i wrote it and put it over my bed and read it before i sleep and i have to say that i have been sleeping better.
