Sleep Praises......

My sleep patterns are all messed up but its o.k. as long as I feel rested and I can catch a nap when needed.  So far so good on all those accounts.  So yes God is good even at 2am when I can't sleep - He is there.  This morning during one of my wake rounds....usually I fall to sleep for 1 or 2 hours wake up for 1 or 2 hours then sleep.  sometimes the cycles are longer for sleep sometimes longer for wake.  I just never know till night fall hits.  Anyway.  This morning being such a morning I decided, can't sleep might as well Praise God.  So I Did!

I started with God - not verbalized just in my brain.  He awesomeness, majesty, love, strength, guidance, and strength.  I thought of all the words I can fathom for God and fell to sleep thinking of Him.  (not bad huh)

When I woke for my next section of non sleep.....I went to Jesus....what can I say - sweetest name I know.  I continued on with Jesus until I went to sleep.  Somewhere in there I slipt in the Holy Spirit knowing He's there the whole time and what an awesome peaceful rest it was.  Yay God!  Yes I am still a bit sleep and my drift off before church.  I have the time but I just wanted to share some helpful hints for sleepless nights. 

BTW
God woke me with this song this morning.  Its an oldie but it very fitting for me right now.  So out of the blue ......I share it with you.  (Yes i am a poet)  ; )

THANK YOU FOR THE VALLEY


THANK YOU FOR THE VALLEY I WALKED THROUGH TODAY.
THE DARKER THE VALLEY THE MORE I LEARN TO PRAY.
I FOUND YOU WHERE THE LILLIES ARE BLOOMING BY THE WAY.
AND I THANK YOU FOR THE VALLEY I WALKED THROUGH TODAY.

THANK YOU FOR EVERY HILL I'VE CLIMBED
FOR EVERY TIME THE SUN DIDN'T SHINE.
THANK YOU FOR EVERY LONELY NIGHT
I PRAYED UNTIL I KNEW THAT EVERY THING WAS ALRIGHT.
AND I THANK YOU FOR THE VALLEY I WALKED THROUGH TODAY

LIFE CAN'T BE ALL SUNSHINE OR THE FLOWERS WOULD DIE.
THE RIVERS WOULD BE DESERTS ALL BARREN AND DRY.
LIFE CAN'T BE ALL BLESSING FOR THERE'D BE NO NEED TO PRAY.
SO I THANK YOU FOR THE VALLEY I WALKED THROUGH TODAY

thats it.
Keep Prayiing and Keep Looking UP!
