Like A Whisper
I never fall asleep early. But I figured since I have an 8AM class today, I tried last night. I was also unusually tired. I fell asleep for about an hour then woke up seeing that it was only 10:16PM. It was difficult to fall asleep after that. It might’ve had something to do with my thoughts screaming at me.
“Andie. You have to wake up in (X) hours. Go to bed dummy.”
It must’ve been about 3AM by the time I actually fell asleep followed by a whole lot of tossing and turning. I knew I would not be happy when I woke up.
I don’t like my alarm. It’s loud and obnoxious and interrupts my sleep. Which is what it’s supposed to do… But still. Waking up to that thing is one of those, UGH moments.
6AM. UGH. I opened my eyes. And I wanted to complain. I wanted to throw a pity party for myself. I wanted to complain so bad. But I couldn’t. I was awake. And when I looked out the window, I saw an unfamiliar shade of sun that I realized I’ve missed. It greeted me like a whisper. That’s when I remembered my Father. And I felt so blessed and so thankful.
Our God is wonderful. And to whoever is reading this, I hope you woke up with the joy of the Lord this morning and I hope you remember the promise He made to us. He is faithful and loving and merciful and He will never leave you. Let yourself drown in His grace. It’s amazing.
I truly hope you have a beautiful day.
