Can't Sleep

I am all over the place.  Somehow we were watching a movie and now I am just on the computer with a dilemma.  I can’t sleep.  It was the last day of school today.  Everything feels like a blurr.  Although kindergarten has come to an end, something new is beginning.  One season has ended and another has begun.  All in one day.  All since 5pm.  I have exited one season of my life… and so quickly its the next.  I cannot put into words all of the changes I’ve been through this year.  Tonight its just hanging over my head.. the need to process.  The need to be with God.  The need to rest.

Tonight, I am thankful that God so gently welcomes the weakest things in me.  The deepest fears, the worst of my worst behaviors, all my sinful thoughts and actions he already knows and welcomes with unfading patience.  I am so thankful for this God who is with me.  Who has promised me so many things.  Who knows me, understands me, and loves me.

Tonight I am thankful that God is faithful to continue putting His hand in my life and that He is big enough to handle me no matter how near or far I am to Him.  I am so thankful He wants to give me good gifts and freedom from the dominion of sin.  Oh, how I cannot wait to taste more freedom from things I am stuck in bondage to in my life!

I want to taste God’s love for me and His pursuit of my heart more richly than I ever have before.  May this next season be full of understanding this more deeply.

Yes, random thoughts, I know.  But that’s what I got on my mind…

G’nite.

Wishing everyone peace, love, and rest.
