Changing Times

This is probably the third or fourth instance that my body automatically woke up just when the world is still beginning to sleep. It seems my body clock's getting used to the frequent night duties I've had for the past two months, and this worried me at first, with thoughts of insomnia and being unproductive when I need to stressing my already stressed mind.

One night I turned to God, to talking to Him and reading His Word, hoping it would lull me to sleep (yes, wrong motives...haha). I didn't fall asleep though, and I was able to pray specifically for many items I would just generalize before to make the prayers shorter. I was also able to read the Bible in a relaxed and expectant mood without fighting the urge to fall asleep which was what usually happened in the past.

So here I am, making the most of it instead of just closing my eyes hoping to get back to sleep. After all, just because I can't sleep at night doesn't mean I can't get adequate sleep. And truly, if there's a will, there's a way! This I proved when I washed my hospital uniforms the other night in my desire to be productive...haha.

So I'm embracing this new season in my life. I'm still hoping though that this wouldn't last long, because I really miss going to church on a Sunday morning, spending time with my friends and family without feeling all tired and sleepy. I also don't feel like cooking at night...haha

So while a wait for a possible change of sched, I'll look for other things to do.

Thank you Lord for the amazing strength you give me each day, for maximizing my intermittent rest periods, and for being a God I can talk to 24/7.

Good morning!
Maybe later I'll say good night!
