The Insomniac

I can't get any sleep. I mean when I do, it's more like 3-4 hour increments. I am tired during the day and I just can't function. Something is on my mind.

Last night, I went to a Ladies' Night with my church. The message was about women being helpers and just our identity as women of God. There are many things women are called for that men will never be.

The speaker had a great portion about Single ladies.

  1. We need to make room for the 'leaders' of our lives.
  2. Refrain from criticizing them
  3. Encourage our brothers into leadership/take the intuitive
  4. Offer to "help" our brothers.

I have often taken for granted the leaders God has provided in my life recently. I've been so cautious that I don't think I've encouraged my brothers at all. Through prayer, I know that it is possible to be a "helper" without the flirting. :)

My job has been interesting. There is a chance I will be able to become a traveler and be overseas 50-75%. I'm praying about it, but I have developed this peace about this change in my life. If God calls me to be on the road or remain here in VA, I am ready.

Just recently, I had to be praying about asking the young married couples and well as the older ones about their relationships with their significant others. Odd thing, but for a short time, I dreaded asking about their "happiness". The time will come for me. It has been such a blessing seeing how beautiful these Godly marriages are. They have their ups and downs, but God is still at the center. I've even offered my babysitting services.

It would seem that every year since college, October is my Insomniac month. Is it the weather changes? More pastries to consume on a regular basis (mmmm creampuffs!)? Then again, every year has been different. What's holding back my slumber this time?

To my readers: I would love to hear how God's working in your life and how I can be praying.

Hey! I am so sorry that we haven't been able to get each other on the phone and now there is another hitch. I haven't paid the bill so I won't have phone service for a couple weeks at least. Anyway...please pray for me because I am starting to think that maybe God wants me to go overseas and either volunteer or do missions work. It's really been gnawing at me lately. So please pray for me!

hey there friend...PORK! (now that I've got that out of my system) Yeah, if you're in town sometime, let me know--because I think an Emma viewing would be just the thing. If you're offering prayer, I think I'll take advantage of it. Sounds like a lot is going on in your life. There are quite a few changes and upcoming changes in mine, too. It's dawning on me that this is my last year in school...scary thought. And then I've just started dating a guy from church (which is kinda weird since I've been so focused on being single for so long). At any rate...my life is crazy. But God is sovereign. Well, it was good hearing from you
