Naps are underrated

Today I took a three hour nap.  It was WONDERFUL. Of course this morning I woke up at 6 am and went for a run and did sit ups and push ups...but that's for another blog.  No wonder I needed a nap.

Again I will say it, NAPS ARE WONDERFUL!  I think there should be a national nap day at least once a week.  Heck, once a day.  National Nap Hour.  I like it.  Except maybe it should be 2 hours.  *sigh*  Why can't 2 year olds understand this concept?

I'm feeling bogged down today.

I have a million and one things to do and I feel like crawling in bed and pulling the covers up over my head.  Maybe it's the rain.  Maybe not.  More likely it's the heavy weight of stress hanging over my head.  I'd rather be any place than where I am right now.  I am weary.  I am sad.

I am thankful for my Husband, my children, my God who always loves me, my friends who wrap me in love even from far away places.  I am thankful that I have a brain that can get me through school.  Hopefully a body that can function well enough to get me there too.  (Hang in there poor head, I know it's tough).  I know that My God is sufficient for all my needs.  I will do as James exhorts us and "Count it all Joy when I meet trials of various kinds, for I know the testing of my faith produces steadfastness".  I know I am being vague but I just need to write these things down and remind myself that alone I can do nothing, but with God on my side I am unstoppable.  He knows the plan, I just need to sit back and let Him do His thing.  

So Ok God.  Go for it.  I'll just be here praying, waiting and watching.

Just how far is the east from the west?

I was searching for a video for a friend today and I came across this song and it stopped me cold. It made me think. Am I doing all I can to reflect Christ in my life? Am I showing Him how grateful I am for what He did for me? He does not keep a record of my wrongs and this is a good thing. I am thankful that only He knows just how far the East is from the West.
